Question re Compact Framework

[Guest]

Hi,
Is it possible to install the Compact Framework on a memory card instead if
the device's base ram. I have a Pocket PC that only has 32Mb Base RAM but has
a 1G SD Card with plenty of space onto which I install all my applications
and their data. I also map my "My Documents" root folder to the SD card and
configure all apps, including all the native Pocket PC apps, to locate their
data on the SD card. I do this to avoid giving up base memory as storage
space because I need all the native RAM I can get. Unlike other Pocket PC app
installers, the Compact Framework installer doesn't give me the option to
locate the Framework on the storage card. Is this an oversight or is it
impossible to do given the Framework's system requirements and op specs,
perhaps it's own RAM vs Storage allocation dynamic that may be location
dependent?



Thank you

NETCF is a system component and it has to go into \windows even if you
redirect the installation on to storage card.

Best regards,

Ilya
