Distributing .netCF 2.0 with a Windows Mobile 5 app

[Guest]

Microsoft in their haste to release Windows Mobile 5 did so before the 2.0
version of the .net Compact Framework was ready to ship. Thus, the version
of the framework that Visual Studio 2005 based managed smart device projects
depend on is not available on most consumer hardware.

How can the 2.0 version of the framework be distributed and installed as
part of my application installer?

You could include NETCF CAB(s) with your desktop installer and install them
the same way as your application CAB(s).

For example:
