Beginner problem

[11X/13]

I'm new to PPC, so maybe, this is a stupid question:

Using Visual Studio 2005 I wrote a small Hello World app using C#.

It runs well on the PPC emulator of VS2005, but if I copy the .cab to my Acer n50 (running under 2003SE), I can install the application - it is displayed in the remove programs window - but I can't execute it.

Clicking the .exe simply has no effect; there is no error message.

I guess, .NET is missing on the device.

How to install it?

You can get .Net Compact Framework from Microsoft, it's a free download. Don't be put off by the size either, the download includes components for both PC and PPC. With VS 2005, you'll probably need .Net CF v2 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en).

If you want to try something new and very easy, I suggest you try PPL.

Your hello program would have been one line of code and it will run on PC and PocketPC.

You won't need the .NET framework either.
