“Run programs under the .NET Compact Framework”

by Tom Clarke

The .NET Compact Framework is a collection of runtime libraries which allow you to run .NET Compact 3.5 applications and services on your Windows Mobile device.

This isn't the most rock'n'roll package to install on your Pocket PC or Smartphone, but it will unlock your device's capabilities to run the more interesting and demanding games and programs on the market.

While not exactly a mandatory install for Windows Mobile device owners, .NET Compact Framework is strongly recommended for all users looking to get the most out of their device by trying out the full range of software available.

Recommended download for all Windows Mobile device owners.

From the publisher of Microsoft .NET Compact Framework

The Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable contains the common language runtime and class libraries built for the .NET Compact Framework. In addition to supporting version 2.0, it also supports applications developed for version 1.0 and service pack releases before version 2.0.

This package uses ActiveSync 4.0 to update the device. Be sure to dock your device first before running NETCFSetupv2.msi. If your device is not docked, ActiveSync will store the CAB file until the time when you dock your device. Those not using ActiveSync can run the CAB files which match the device found in the install folder directly on the device.
