Updating/Installing CF2.0

dotnet compact framework: All,

I'm sure this is a very simple question - however, something is not quite
right - so here I post.

I am just staring to play with mobile development, so please excuse my
"noviceness".

I am trying to install the compact framework "redistributable" for CF2.0 on
my HP IPAQ hx4700 - because I built a simple test app using Visual Studio
2005 - and when I copy that to my IPAC (running Windows Mobile 2003 Second
Edition) and then run the application, it reports an error saying it requires
a newer version of the compact framework. The "Details" dialog indicates an
"InvalidProgramException".

So, I have tried to install the compact framework 2.0 distributable - after
upgrading to activesync 4.1, but this is where I must be doing something
wrong. It appears that the compact framework is installinig on my desktop
machine (same one that I have Visual Studio 2005 on). Like it's detecting
that the compact framework is on that desktop, and I can't figure out how to
"install" it to my PDA.

Surely one of you developers knows exactly what I am doing wrong.?.?.?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

VS 2005 would install NETCF V2 automatically as soon as you hit F5.

NETCF MSI you've downloaded is included with VS so there was no need to do
it.

For installation failures please see this:
