I need to install Microsoft® .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable on
a Pocket PC device.

Is it necessary to copy NETCFSetupv2.msi to the PPC and run it on the PPC ?

Or is it somehow possible to perform the installation over ActiveSync 4.2 ?
How to do this ?

Thanks.

The NETCFSetupv2.msi is a Windows Installer file. Make sure to have your PPC
connected via ActiveSync and start the msi file on your PC by double
clicking it and just follow the on screen instructions. The msi file
contains a cab file that will be copied by the installer to the device after
which it will be installed on the PocketPC.

You can use CABs:
PPC 2003: NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab may be in either of 2 directories:
-- older version: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\SmartDevices\SDK\CompactFramework\2.0\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce400\armv4\
-- newer version: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce400\armv4\
WM 5.0: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i\NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab

Copy over to any directory on the device, then tap on it -- this runs the CAB.

To copy: 1) Connect w/ActiveSync, 2) Use Explore on ActiveSync window (on
desktop) to get to directory on device, 3) do a Copy on CAB file in desktop
dir, 4) Paste into device dir.
