Deploy .NETCF SP2 to the emulator

[Bogdan Sima]

Hello All,

Is there a way can I deploy the CF SP 2 to the emulator?

Thanks a lot,

Bogdan

Hi Bogdan,

Yes. I've generally connected to my PC from the emulator (using the
emulator's file connection to open \\mypc\sharename) and copied the CFSP2
file netcf.core.ppc3.x86.cab from my PC to the emulator. Then just
doubleclick on the cab from within the emulator. (You may want to uninstall
the previous CF from the emulator first.

fyi, after reading what I wrote, I noticed it's a little confusing around
opening a share. Use file explorer within the emulator to Open a share to
your folder.

The easiest way is to let VS.NET deploy it for you.
Install the developer redistributable on your workstation
then copy the appropriate SP2 cab files to the folders
where VS.NET deploys from. You can either rename or
overwrite the older versions.
The folders for VS to look in are:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce300
and
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\Windows CE\wce400

There are sub folders under these where you put the cab
files for various processors. The emulator uses the onse
under the x86 sub folder.
