install Compact .NET Framework 3.5 on your PC with phone connected..it will automatically transfer installer to your phone..continue on phone, install framework and it should work
How do you install the framework on the device?
I wrote it allready ...connect your phone via USB, download framework to your PC, run it..it will extract in PC and copy setup files to your HTC...after that, you will continue on phone..like every other installation.. (is it good English? )

Hi,
I have a question. I have for example SPB Mobiele Shell. We all now this has to be installed via a PC and i needs a serial to install. I have the program and the serial and i would like to make a cab-file of this 2. I have a program to make cab-files, WinCE CAB Manager. Can anyone explain to me how i can do this? I like to have this on my SD-card and like to install it from there in case of emergency's. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thx

Tried that but no luck. I think this is not what i mean. I would like to turn this exe into a CAB and the key included. So when i install the Cab i don't have to register.
one would think the program maker took precautions to make that impossible otherwise your cab could be distributed as a pretty easy free version
you can try to single out what files it depend
on and make a cab file from cratchs
and if the exe or dll files got alter when the serial was given
that cab would be reg'd
otherwise you would have to find out what registries was altered in the
serial process and make a reg which which did those alterations
and get the cab file to run it
Most installations that require you to install through activesync end up leaving a cab file behind. Check Program Files\Activesync\SPB... for the cab file. If it is not there restart the installation but after you have executed the setup file leave it alone and search for the cab file again. I hope this is what you were looking for
ALL exe that install via activesync have a cab, some are hidden in the profiles temporary files, some auto-delete once installed, so leave the application hanging in the install and do a search for recent files and sort by date/time (remember to allow it to scan hidden and system folders). a lot go into the activesync directory, some go into program files, i have even found some that go into the internet explorer temp files, install, and then delete themselves. The most common hiding place is your computers profile temp folder --- typically found under
C:\Documents and Settings\PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp
just dig around, its not to difficult once you find the 3 most basic hiding places.
good luck.

You can simply download the CAB files from SPB site directly.

I have run into a similar situation where my installation was failing due to the huge size of a CAB file.
In my case, the size of the CAB was nearly 23mb and the free storage left was around 26mb. This made the installer fail as it ran out of space midway during the install.
I know one thing for sure was that the PC installers (Exes that would run on the PC that would extract the CAB on the device) would extract the CABs and put them in \windows\appmgr\install folder and would trigger the installer on the device.
So during my second attempt, when the device prompted for installation location "device or storage card", I opened up the explorer on the device (guess you can do the same thing with Windows Explorer since your would stay connected over USB using Activesync) and went into \windows\appmgr\install folder and made a copy of the cab to the storage card (you can copy to your PC as well).
Exited the installer and then installed the cab from the storage card and the installation went fine.
Not sure about how the SPB apps work since there are two options during the PC install. Trail or Registered version. Based on the option chosen, it would either extract the necessary CAB (either trial or registered). I hope it creates a "Registered" version of the app in the CAB after you follow the above steps.
Hope this helps.
PS: I wish that the standard install location on the device "\windows\appmgr\install" be changed to the storage card by some tweaks. So far not successful in finding/getting one.

Now i have everything in registered Cab-files on my SD-card. Now i can make the switch to WM6. I'm dutch and have a P3300 and i guess it will take some time before HTC wil come with a dutch WM6 upgrade, so maybe not the place to ask but do you now where i can find a original English WM6 for the P3300?
Hi,
Some programs for Windows Mobile come in .exe and not .CAB. So when I install the .exe on my computer it install the program on my smartphone (htc s730). when when i install the .exe on my computer, many folders (under program file etc.) are created. also shortcuts are created in the start on my computer. all this is really annoying. it trashes my computer.
how can i install .exe programs without all those stupid things installing on my computer? i love CAB but hate EXE
thanks
First look at the homepage of the program. Many software sompanies also releases standalone cab's.
Try extracting files from the exe installer (using WinRAR) and you may get the cab (only works with some installers).
Make a collection of your programs yourselfs. Before the installation of the program on the device is finished, the cab is copied to Windows\AppMgr\Install. So just get it from there.
Okay that's good help-
I thank you moneytoo
The title says everything.
Only thing with WinCE Cab Manager is that I installed it and after a reboot it says that my trial is over - darn i havent started it before in my life in my computer and it says that trial is over
Damn.
Are there any alternatives or where could i get a working version? (version lower than 2.0 eg: 1.1)
I use Pocket PC Installation Creator, it's not free but a hell of a lot cheaper then WinCE Cab manager (http://www.aperitto.com/index.php)
Or if you are handy with making .inf files and using cabwiz try the utils in the zip: MSCEInf.exe to extract contents from a cab (including .inf file) and cabwiz.exe to make cab from .inf file
You can edit the inf or use it as an example for your own inf and than use cabwiz to make new cab. Disadvantage is that it is a lot of work if you have cabs with a lot of registry keys and files
good luck
When I try installing .NET Compact Framework, it just wont let me.
It says "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework could not be installed".
I've tried it over and over, even deleting all of the registery files in Local Machine > Software > Microsoft > .NETCompactFramework.
which version?
3.5 in WM6.5
was happening to me, think its cause the download on the ms site is an .exe search for it on here and download the .cab file instead, worked for me...

I was able to install it this time. But still cant run programs like FingeryKeyboard.
Does anyone know whats wrong?
In order to see what version is installed use File Explorer to navigate to the
\Windows directory on the device, and click the file called "CGACUTIL". You will
get a message box showing you the Win32 File Version of the .NET Compact
Framework installed on the device.

ok. i wanted to throw my two cents in on this. i went in to my box's program files to find my install or .cab for WM .NET 3.5 Framework.
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE"
was the location.
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab ...
Now under this same directory i also have
NETCFv35.ppc.armv4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.mipsii.cab
NETCFv35.wce.sh4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.armv4.cab
NETCFv35.wce.mipsiv.cab
NETCFv35.wce.x86.cab
that all said. i will grab the newest download for 4 and post my findings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, i installed the 4.0 package from microsoft. checked the program files and ran a search on my box for all .cabs. seeing if it squirreled them away. no dice though.
let me know if you guys find anything on a windows mobile version of the 4.0 Framework.
How I solved .net 3.5
It took me 2 days to figure this one out. Finally i found a thread that said to install .net 2.0.
Follow this link. Install 2.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displayLang=en
Once you have done this then follow this link and look for 3.5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590
This is were I got 3.5 from.
Congratulations 3.5 is installed.
thank you!
I cant install .net 3.5 for a long time. I had an error while installing it. Then I installed .net 3.7 and all problems gone.
thank you so much. i needed but didnt install this from .exe, because my phone's memory was not enogh.
thanks again

I installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab from the (full redistributable package) .NET Framework 3.5 (page down a bit to find the full version package).
Then I also installed;
Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework 3.5
