I can't figure out what files to use to install the compact framework 2.0 on a new portable scanner with CE 5.0 installed. I just got several new PSC 4420s, which I need to install at customer sites next week, and I'm trying to get everything installed and running properly without doing a deploy from vs 2005, so that I will know how to deal with issues at the customer site when I can't be there with my development computer.
The scanner shipped with CE 5.0, and I copied the SQL cab files over to the scaner's flash and installed them with no problem, plus my application program. But when I try to run it, it tells me that it needs a newer version of compact framework. I assumed the CF 2.0 came with the scanner, but when I look in the 'remove programs' in control panel, I see that it is not installed at all.
I have tried copying dotnetfx.exe (for cf 2.0) over to the scanner's flash and running it, but it says it is not a valid windows file. I also tried copying netcfsetupv2.msi to flash and tried to run it, but it says there is no application associated with it. What am I missing here?
Back when I was installing cf 1.1 on an earlier ce 4.2 scanner, I used a folder on my development computer that seems to be specifically for the purpose of installing cf 1.1 on a device; in the folder are bunch of .cab and .dll files, and a ncfsetup.exe file, and when I ran that ncfsetup.exe, it told me that it was about to install net compact framework 1.1 to my mobile device. Maybe if I could find the same set of files for cf 2.0 I would solve my problem, but I don't know where I got these files for cf 1.1.
At the customer site, I'd like to put a "PSC" folder on their PC with installation files for SQL, my app, and also CF 2.0, so that I can install these things to their scanner at any time. So, I'm hoping someone can tell me where to find the proper files for CF 2.0 installation.
Thank you!
