I just installed my cf app onto a device (it runs from the emulator), I
installed first all of the required cabs including
OpenNetCF.sdf.ppc3.armv4.cab, and after my app gets installed the following
message is displayed:

<myappname> requires the installation of OpenNETCF.SDF.ppc3.ARMV4.CAB for it
to run properly. Intall the Cab file before running this application.

I did install it, and it displays in the Remove Programs applet.

I've installed this many times before without a hitch. I have also cold
booted the device and cleared the registry. Still, same thing. Help??

Could this be because two different machines have two different versions of
OpenNetCF? I made code changes at my dev pc and just moved the app's cab to
another dev pc. Installed opennetcf and the app from there. Found that if
I installed a copy of the app's cab that was built on that PC -the program
runs fine and doesn't get the warning message that OPENnetCF doesn't exist,

How can one tell what verions of OpenNetCF is installed on a given PC?
And, how can I tell from the OpenNetCF cab file what version it is?

The cab files are not named with a version but you can check the date and
size, v1.3 is larger and created on the 12th May

Thanks Peter - I just found that too.

What appears to have been our problem was that the PC I was installing from
still had the OpenNetCF v1.1 cab, my development machine has OpenNetCF v1.2.

It seems that an app built with OpenNetCF v1.2, is not compatible with a
device running OpenNetCF v1.1. Expected now that I know whats going on, but
hard to tell from the message. Good to know for future reference.

I've now installed v1.3 on each of my dev machines. Now, I just realized, I
have to remember to send out the new OpenNetCF cab for other apps I have
'out there' when I release an update.

Good to know.

If I'm missing something however, please let me know.

Thanks again.

-Mike

Please note that if you use v1.3 and you use the OpenNETCF.WindowsCE.Forms
assembly you'll need to workaround a known deployment bug in this release:-

Please help me here - its getting late and I have an 8am demo where I plan
to run the emulator to show this app. Ever since trying to update to
OpenNetCF v1.3 I had problems. I uninstalled and reinstalled v1.2 - but now
am getting errors when trying to run the app in the emulator:

An unhandled exception of type 'system.missingmethodexception' occurred in
system.windows.forms.dll

There are a few others that pop up following this one.

What can I do?? Is this caused by the v1.3 install???
