thanks alot for the .cabs paul

[Tambo]

Hi,
I've installed HDwobble on my HTC HD (Orange UK) & it's giving an error 'newer version of Microsoft.net Compact Framework' required.

I undestand that you copy the 2 cab files over to phone.

If I copy them to my storage card I presume they'll be installed into the correct place?

Do you need to reboot? after each or both are installed?

Do any of you guys with the same phone have any probs with these cabs screwing up the phone.

Reason why I'm asking is I have a lot of programs/apps on my phone & If it's going to cause major probs - then new apps/games etc, that require .net 3.5 I'll just have to avoid installing on my HD.

A hard reset isn't going to be an option...

Thanks for any advice & help.

Tambo

If you're a developer or have knowledge of .net Compact Framework, you'll be aware that version 3.5 has shipped. You'll be aware that it offers a number of enhancements in features, stability and performance, and you'll likely also know that it provides full backwards compatability with previous versions of the Compact Framework. What you may NOT know is that when CF 3.5 is installed on a device, applications that target previous versions of the Compact Framework will continue to run against the old versions, and 3.5 and previous versions will live side by side on the device. Only when new devices come along will we see ONLY 3.5 on a device.

This presents a number of problems, namely

• Users who deploy CF 3.5 to their device but use applications targeting older versions will not benefit from the 3.5 performance improvements
  
• Developers who develop apps for pre CF 3.5 frameworks cannot easily test their applications ready for when 3.5 only devices come along

Thankfully, help is at hand in the form of a little known Compact Framework 3.5 powertoy named '.Net Configuration'. The application, which is available in this download at Microsoft, provides the user with full granularity of control over the .net CF on their device. You can see installed versions, change the used CF version for a particular application or change the used CF version for all applications run on your device! Perfect!

Sadly in Microsoft's infinite wisdom the application in question is tucked away in simple EXE inside the 6.2MB download and somewhat hard to find, so i've taken the liberty of packaging it up into a CAB here that installs it with it's own Start Menu shortcut. I've also included the .net CF 3.5 CAB below, so you can get your device updated quickly and easily by...

- Downloading and installing both CABs below (to internal memory!)
- Running '.Net Configuration' from your Start Menu
- Navigating to the 'Device Policy' tab and selecting version 3.5
- Selecting 'Apply' then 'OK'

That's it, you're done! You can even check it's working by installing my CamerAware Beta and hitting 'About', after which you should see the screen below.

Enjoy, and hope this is useful

PS If you ARE a developer, there's other goodies in that Powertoys package that are well worth a look too!

I HAVE THE TREO PRO WITH A QUAILCOMM PROCESSOR (400MHZ).  WILL YOUR FILES - ESPECIALLY THE NETCFV35.WM.ARMV4I.CAB WORK ON MY MOBILE PHONE?

Would it work on ASUS P750 with WM6.0 OS 5.2.1623?

[renski]

cant seem to get the files to download for some reason?

[ftfsyfa]

great, thanx.

[harry88]

Thank you SOO very much!!

Microsoft's NETCFSetupv35.msi did NOT work with my iPAQ 510 - but your CAB files DID work. So, what you did was not "just handy" but saved my day. 

Note to renski: I had to wait a few minutes before the download popped up. Just be patient

thanks for the apps the net config cab didn't install a shortcut on my htc prophet but i just navigated to the windows folder and ran it from there

Thanks I used the Microsoft msi (NETCFSetupv3.5.msi) installer from XP to load 3.5 on the phone and your app works great for switching back and forth.  Thanks

Great - both cabs worked a treat in my un-cooked Orange Touch HD. Many thanks.

I have the Verizon Omnia i910 version, just installed the newest ROM version.  Didn't have a clue what this new compact framework 3.5 was/was not going to do ---- but your cabs worked great on it.  I have quite a few programs installed, including SPB stuff, memmaid, SKTools, etc --- I set your cab to run the unconfigured appls with the 3.5 ---------- and, not sure if its just me, but EVERYTHING seems to run much faster !!  Great job, and thanks.

Thanks for that Paul.  I would not have been able to do this without you!

I have tried different installations of NET Compact Framework 3.5, including the MS download direct to the device.  Each time I run the installation to the device or storage card I get the same error message which many other users on this forum are getting stating that I need to free up memory.  I have at any given time 120 MB in the device program memory, 206 MB in the device storage memory and I have over 10,000 MB of free memory on the storage card.  Anyone have a solution?  I haven't figured out how to free up more memory as most everything on the device is what was loaded at time of purchase.

After many struggles for an answer in downloading the Net compact framework 3.5, see the following from another forum.  It worked for me running safe mode in my Touch Pro 2.  I installed the program from the site as shown and the MS download worked perfectly.



as follows:

I had the same problem on my HTC Kaiser, but I found a solution.
I found a program that acts like safe mode on a computer.
So if you install that program and restart in safe mode (you need to select safe mode when you boot), you will be able to install the compact framework 3.5.
Probable some locked files prevent the normal installation.

The program is an evaluation version, limited to 14 days, but since you only need it for the framework, you don't need to keep if you don't want to.
