.NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 Beta 1 Released
"The Microsoft� .NET Compact Framework version 2.0 SP1 beta package is the most recent update to the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework and includes everything you need to run applications on devices developed using the .NET Compact Framework."
The first beta of the .NET CF 2.0 SP1 is out in the wild, with a list of new features and bug fixes available at the .NET Compact Framework Team blog. The update includes two components - one for developers to patch Visual Studio 2005, and one for end-users to update their Pocket PC and/or Smartphone running Windows Mobile 2003 or Windows Mobile 5.0. And, for those of you worried about the specified file size, rest assured, it doesn't actually consume that much on the device.

This is a very big factor since to original version would not install to a storage card, and it is 5.4mb in size. This beta only installs about 1.3mb of files in main memory and allows the rest to reside on the storage card.

The NETCFSetupv2.msi file is installing stuff to the PC, but not to the device.
How do I get this thing to install to the device?

Paragon-
Can you list (step-by-step) the processes to install the new .NET with as much of it as possible to an alternative storage media (i.e. SD card)?
Thank you.

Does this work with the Axim X5. I know a number of programs that require v2 of .net do not work.

The first thing you need to do is remove .NET CF 2.0 from your desktop and your device. Once it is removed you then click on the beta file you downloaded and it will install to your desktop and device automatically. If you are using a WM5.0 device once the .cab has been transferred to your device it will ask where you want it installed. Choose you storage card, and it will install the bulk of the files to the storage card and install the necessary files to your windows directory in main memory. The split ends up being about 1.3mb in main memory and 4mb to the storage card.
Good luck
Dave

Is this only for WM5 devices?
It installs to the desktop machine fine, but never installs to my WM 2003 SE device.
I found the cabfile and tried manually installing, but my device tells me it's not a recognized cabfile.
I went back to the normal CF 2.0 and it reinstalled fine.
Help :wink:

when I installed the cab, I indicated it should install on my card. it proceded to create an empty subdirectory on my card and then install 100% of the 5.4MB of files in main memory. so much for the small footprint, and so much for v2+ on my Atom.
v2+ is apparently so well tested, that I can wait for it to be included in O2's (or HP's) next ROM update. I haven't encountered any working (some partially functioning betas) software that requires it, yet.

No, it should work on all devices running Windows Mobile 2003 and above.

Which CAB file did you find? By default, the installer will extract the files to: C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v2.0\WindowsCE
Within that, there should be two folders, 'wce400' and 'wce500'. You'll want to open the 'wce400' folder if you're not running Windows Mobile 5.0, then use the CAB file relevant to your CPU class.

Short answer: It depends on the OS version your X5 is running. If Pocket PC 2002, then no. If Windows Mobile 2003, then yes.
