Is .Net 1.1 finally available for XPE?

We have been working for a while on an application that we would like to run
under Windows XP embedded. Since we started developing the application a
couple of months ago using .Net 1.1, we figured that by the time we were
done the .Net 1.1 was going to be available on XPE.



So the question is, is it available now? If not, does anybody knows when it
will become available??? If it will not be available for a while, is there a
way to easily compile the app to use .Net 1.0 and not 1.1?



Thanks.
 
I'm working very closely with the Netfx team, they are just as anxious to
ship this as you are <grin> Please be patient, if things continue to go
well, it should be very very soon.

Thanks for your patience.

Dear Andy:



I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post. Although your
response brings me some relief, the fact is that I have people breathing
down my neck waiting for a response on what are we going to do with the XPE
issue.



I am supposed to start working on the image next Monday (Dec 1). Since I am
pretty much a newby with XPE embedded, I will be downloading the evaluation
version, and it will probably take me a week or so to build a working image
before I can test the actual application on it. After that I need to make a
decision on what to do!!!!



Just out of curiosity, why is Microsoft so secretive about the release date
of .Net 1.1? Does "Very Very" soon equals to about a week or two?



Regards.
 
There's no secrecy, there is just no planned release date. The date it will
be available for download will be a few days after it's development and test
work is completed. Sorry, but this package is quality driven, not date
driven - as soon as it's done it'll be available to you.

In the meantime read this article XPe article by Mike Hall so that you can
continue your work with .net 1.0 in XPe until v1.1 is ready:

A reasonable workaround while waiting for the componentized .NET 1.1 is to
build your own .NET FBA installer. It's relatively simple ... just use
the files you find in the .NET SDK redistribution folder. Package these in a
"netinstaller.exe" that is run during FBA as an "FBA Generic Command" with a
phase number of 6000. If you want the installation cleaned-up afterward,
follow it with another FBA Generic Command at 6001 that deletes the
installation files.
