"This device needs a later version of .net compact framework to use this application"
Title says it all. I have "tried" to install several programs via the HTC touch pro, because I don't know how to do it using synchronizers. Anyways, when I go to to install a program, it says "This device needs a later version of .net compact framework to use this application". I have tried installing some software from microsoft.com, but my phone won't install a .msi.
Sorry if I sound so "noobish". This is my first wm6 phone.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but that's what I've been looking for, is the .cab file.
Is this a .exe or .cab file that you are trying to install?
You need to download from microsoft then install from the computer
as far as I'm aware there is no cab file
Worked for me
Yes. Connect to activsync, then run the file from your PC.

I don't run Windows XP, so it's not compatible.

It works on my diamond so it should on yours. Cab file as you wish.
File can be downloaded 10 times, if its out send me PM so i can reupload.

How to install Apps...

I have just bought a HTC Diamond. I am new to the world of Windows Mobile.
So far the phone is great! I love it.
I have noticed you can download lots of apps and tweaks.
I want just wondering how to instal these programs on the phone.
I have downloaded a few games, Unzipped and copied over the files to the phone. It recognioses one of the games with a '.cab' format and it installed, but the rest are .xml.
Any pointers, tips and hints for this phone?
Cheers
the program you use to extract compressed files identifies cab files as compressed. All you need to do is copy the cab files to your phone and run the file from there. If you try to extract a cab file, you'll get those xml files you talked about.
1. Copy cab to phone
2. Run cab from phone to install the program
good luck

Hi - my first post!
You mention .cab files... I expect this applies to .exe's as well (for example, hot fixes)???
Any particular folder(s) on the phone we should be copying these files to before running them? I tried to install a hot fix today, but after running the .exe and receiving a 'success' message, the phone restarts OK, but the fix does not appear to have worked.
all exe install's for pocketpc's are pc exe files which have to be run
on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file to the
pocketpc and run it there

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, running the exe on my PC (Win Vista) doesn't seem to work.
Error: "{C:\filepath\filename.exe} is not a valid Win32 application."
Any ideas? I'm a complete newb at this so have exhausted my very limited list of possible ideas...
some people don't distribute their apps with installers so it could
just be the program itself
in which case you have to execute it on the pocketpc
this of cause mean that it will not put a shortcut to the exe
in your programs thats just something you have
to do manualy with a program like total commander
which you can also use to browse to where you put the
exe file and execute it to start the program

OK thanks - I already tried running the exe straight from my Diamond, and although it appeared to work correctly, the hotfix didn't actually fix what it claimed to. Not to worry, I'm still learning all this stuff (only had my Diamond for a day and a half now... ).

the links are in my signature amd the procedure is explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630416
again with working download links
dear tony
i heave read your page i'am currently ussing windows mobile 2003 se i downloaded your files they workt perfect the only problem i face a.t.m is i can run the repart_doc but i can not run the setup dll or any of the other files any idea how that comes?
thx for reading
greetings
michael
what setup dll would that be?
all you need is the cab and the exe. don't bother doing anything else with your device, after upgrading, everything will be gone anyways.
well what i did was i downloaded the files and when i extract the unlucker cab zip file i get some files i have put them onto my phone but my tell cant read them
thx for reading
michael
a cab file is an installer for the device. you don't unpack that, but simply copy it to the device and click it in file explorer. that will install the contained program, in this case the unlocker. kinda like a setup.exe or .msi file on the pc
dear tony
Thx for your help so far i unocked the ext.rom from my mobile now i was reading the wike for my sellphone and all went wel untill i got here:
Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager.
Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".
This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device.
Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
Select "Let me pick from a list...."
Click the "Have Disk" button.
Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
Now select your file
Vista 32bit users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
Vista 64bit users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
Then click Open.
Click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
Press close and escape back to the desktop now.
When i'am tryinf to update it just says it did not fond any drivers in As_driver
do you maby know why? i'am using windows vista
thx for reading
michael
unfortunately, i have never managed to flash on windows vista/7, but d-two has released a tutorial for that, that differs from the wiki instructions and seems to work for some people. you can find it in his new rom thread. alternatively, use a windows xp pc and my tutorial. it is way easier and guaranteed to work:

[Q] Can't transfer .wmv files using USB - different file system?

Hello. I am now running Darkys ROM 8.1. Its the first time since upgrading I've tried transferring anything via USB. I notice that in windows I can't create a new folder on the ext sd card, nor access the existing folders, in fact they appear in windows (xp) with no icon or file assocation. Is it the file system used in the darkys rom that windows cannot recognise? .flv and .mpg files will transfer but when I try any other formats windows explorer says it may not be copied, may not exist or may be in use by another program.
Is this a setting in darkys I need to change? Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help please
I found the answer thanks. Posting this for those who might have the same problem. I installed the Kies V2 on my win7 64bit laptop, and the file system on the phone can be seen now and file transfers can be done ok now.
It is either issues with Kies 1.5 or problems with my other pc after a hardware install.

Installing .xap on Win XP

Ok so all who have WP7 on their HD2's and having PC with Windows XP have this problem : "wtf man, how do i deploy/install .xap's on my HD2 ?"
Well i have the answer, we all have met the problem with the SDK Developer Tools installation (it was shtting about "ya need vista or 7 bla bla bla")
So after a really hard search (spended 1 minute) i found the answer !
I found this at http://www.redfrogfish.com/483/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-developer-tools-on-windows-xp/
All credits go to that guy!!!!
Ok, so if ur afraid to go to that site i will now copypaste the tut
Download the Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW from Microsoft Download Center
Extract the downloaded package by running vm_web.exe /x
Go to the folder of the extracted package & open the file baseline.dat in any text editor
Look for the ‘gencomp7788’ section and change this two entries from 1 to 0:
InstallOnLHS=0
InstallOnWinXP=0
Save the file baseline.dat
Run setup.exe /web
i extracted the .exe with WinRaR and then opened the baseline.dat with Notepad
Finally, made a shortcut to "setup" file and the "Prpoerties" on shortcut and in the end u add that " /web" thing. Run the shortcut and it should all work and dl the stuff.
Again, i won't visit this post so it's better to find a solution by urself
coul some body explain better this please?
I had problems installing SDK and running Tom XAP installer until now. Basically, I had the WPSDK installed, .NET 4.0, Tom Xap Installer and it worked just fine on my XP Pro.
