I am running the WM6.1 by gregory ROM and none of the .net apps are working, i get an error msg asking to quit the application, ive tried reinstalling .net CF 3.5 but no use
I think you need CF 2.0
so i would have to downgrade?
Actually some app need previous ver of .NET even ver 1.1. But in your case the problem may be different. If you are using a wm std. and trying to run a PPC app some error may occured. In that case any of .NET ver could not solve it.

I can not install the 3.5 cf on my TP. Was wondering if this was due to running a custom rom. Any suggestions. It goes through the install process on my phone then pops up with this error:
Installation Error. Stop all applications and processes, maximize all available storage space, and run installation again. Support info: 3.
Any help is appreciated.
Perhaps it's already installed in the custom ROM?

I downloaded windows live and it asked me to install 2.0. 2.0 installed fine, but no dice with 3.5

Most (if not all of them) of custom roms in here has pre-installed .net 3.5.
perhaps tell us which custom rom you are using?

If you are using a cook rom, Its more the 100% true that this rom has nf3.5 allready. So if the install fails you already have 3.5
You can use the .NET Configuration Tool which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373721
It will tell you which version of .NET is installed on your device.
I have had a similar problem, I in-fact did have 3.5 pre-installed but the program wanted specifically v2.0 for some strange reason. I just didn't install but now I am curious as my understanding is that the v3.5 and any version for that matter is inclusive of previous versions. Anyone care to shed some light?

As far as i know, net. 3.5 is not an "update" to net 2.0, you have to install both, if a prog needs 2.0 and you already have 3.5
in a registry key i can see that i ve both versions installed

Thanks for clearing that up for me, will load v2.0 for the apps that require it.

Erm, 3.5 does in fact support previous versions of .net cf without requiring them installed..
From the belly of the beast
The Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable contains the common language runtime and class libraries built for the .NET Compact Framework. In addition to version 3.5 support, it also supports applications developed for version 1.0 and 2.0. The .NET Compact Framework 3.5 provides new features such as Windows Communication Foundation, LINQ, SoundPlayer, new runtime tool support, and many other features.

Indeed. The issue is that some installers check for installed .NET CF versions incorrectly, so when they don't see 2.0 on the device, they automatically fail the whole installation.
This should not be compared to the way the desktop .NET Framework functions, because the two have some very significant differences.
This will do the trick.
Much info about .net compact framework 3.5

Did it work now?
Sorry if this doesn't make complete sense. This is new to me.
We are looking at a product from www.transplantgps.com, but the problem is the device comes with .NET CF 2.0. I don't have a problem with it being Windows CE 5, but not having CF 3.5 and the SQL 3.5 components built into the OS is a problem. The device doesn't use FLASH for the OS partition so when you reset the device you lose any changes and I lose the CF 3.5 that I installed.
I am working with them on trying to get these cabs as part of the main firmware/os:
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab - .NET Compact Framework 3.5
sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab - SQL Compact 3.51 Core
sqlce.repl.ppc.wce5.armv4i.cab - SQL Compact 3.51 Replication and OLEDB
This would need to be the wce version of NETCF. We don't need CF 2.0 just the 3.5 version.
Right now they are telling me that their firm in China doesn't know how to do this. What I am looking for is to see if this is even possible.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Eric
If i'm not mistaken... yes, the problem is then compatibility with .net cf 2. If 2 is built in you can always install 3.5 via cab but you have problems trying to do it the other way around.

Thanks, this would pretty much be a custom device, so to not have 2.0 is not a big deal.
hello all
i've recently upgraded my ROM (HTC P3400i aka GENE)
when ever i try to install the .net framework on it it shows me error saying that a newer version is already installed but i have never installed it
also my .net files are also not working on it
here are some screenshots of the installation
plz if possible help me out
i've installed rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604370
Start File Explorer. Browse to \Windows\CGAUTIL.EXE and run it.
It will list all versions of the .NET CF framework installed on your device. Every Smartphone or PPC already has one version of the .NET CF in ROM.
Post the image of that.
\Windows\CGAUTIL.EXE

no such file available
Sorry, should be \WINDOWS\CGACUTIL.EXE
no such file available
i even tried to search
may be because i am using a non official ROM
should i try to flash another ROM?
You may have to flash another ROM to cure it. As a rough guide, .Net CF 1/1.1 was in WM2003/SE, 2.0 was in WinMo 5.0 , 3.0 was in WinMo 6.0 and 3.5 appears in WinMo 6.5.
They are 'supposed' to be backwardly compatible, but there are a lot of ifs and buts. I have .NET CF 1.1 programs that run quite happily on later versions, but I might have been just plain lucky!
also if the file is hidden explore may not show it try using a better file manager like total commander or reso
all right got it
it was hidden i guess so
thnx Rudegar for your comment
OK here is the screenshot for the
\Windows\CGAUTIL.EXE

That message says that you already have .NET CF 3.5 installed on your device. The numbers following the 3.5 are build numbers, used by installations to detect later versions etc, hence the original message when you tried to install 3.5 above.
As mentioned earlier all devices have one .NET CF version already installed in the ROM.
It should work, even with programs created against previous versions, but, as I said, it is not an exact science. I'll see if I can come up with anything.
What .NET apps are you trying to run and what is the error/problem they present?
thnx stephj for your reply

Right, this could be one of the weird things mentioned above.
The GENE was originally a WM 5.0 .NET CF 2.0 device. It appears the ROM you have flashed has .NET CF 3.5 installed in it as a minimum, preventing the retro installation of .NET CF 2.0, which is a stated requirement of the BTMusic software. It should work under 3.5, but maybe it's one of those that won't.
It may be considered a retrograde step, but it may be necessary to reflash the original ROM, in order to get it to work, or hang around until the software gets upgraded to .NET CF 3.5
Either of them are hardly ideal solutions.............
Anybody else any good ideas?...................
i hope i'll have to reinstall another OS lol
Somehow my default version of .net reset iteslf to 2.0 instead of 3.5.
I tried changing it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework,
but this didn't seem to work.
How can I fix this?
When I check CGACUTIL, it tells me the default version of .net is 2.0.
I have a cab for 3.5, but when I try loading that on my TP, the error message says there is a newer version.
How can I reactivate this newest version that is already on my phone?
Does anyone know how to fix this F&*%ing thing?
I can't reload .net 3.5 because the error messages says there is a newer version on my device.
I can't delete the new version because I can't find it and I cannot get the newer version to work.
Hey everone,
i have an issue with my samsung jack running wm6.1.
The other day i opened a app which i use every day (sxradio2) and i get the following:
Error
"this application requires a newer version of the microsoft .net compact framework than the the version installed on this device"
when i press quit to end the app i then get this:
.NET CF initialization error
ERROR
the application failed to load required componets. if the .net compact framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in its place and launch the app again. if this fails a re-installion of the .net cf is recomended. support info:- 2147483643 (80000005)
i know for a fact that when i installed this several months ago that it was installed on the device and not the sd card. when i look thur the registry with an editor and look at the values of i get:
2.0.7045.00 / value data=0
3.5.7283.00 / value data=1
which leads me to belive that the 2.0 version is inactive and the 3.5 version is attive.
When i try to re-install .NET CF 3.5 the phone then tells me that it is already installed an stops the installation.
I'm not new to windows based phones and tweaking them but i would not consider myself a "veteran" either.
i searched the forums already and didnt find any help and didnt want to hijack a thread that may or may not help.
would really apperciate any help that may resolve this without having to hard reset.
thanks in advance!
I notice that you don't mention un installing .net 3.5 before trying to reinstall. Is this the case? It does appear in the remove programs list. And nothing adverse done to device prior to errors?
good day.
no sir
i did not un install it, and it does not appper in remove programs (but i remember it being there at one time).
