Compact Framework 2.0 in PB 4.2

Hello,

My system: PXA255, 32 MB FLASH, 64 MB RAM, Platform Builder 4.2.

I would like to run aplications made with Compact Framework 2.0.

So, I have installed the CF 2.0 cab in my system. After doing this,
the applications work fine.

But when I reset the system, I lost the compact framework
configuration. In the installation, some of the files are always stored
in Windows folder, no matter what folder you choose on the
installation. The new files in the Windows folder are stored in RAM, so
when you reset the system, all the files are lost. If I choose the
flash folder to make the installation and I save the registry to make
the changes persistent, the result is the same

I have tried to include CF 2.0 in my Operating System image with no
result. I have included all the files of the cab in a BIB file, and all
the registry entries in a REG file of the image. When I load this image
in my system, I have checked that all the files needed are in the
windows folder, and all the registry entries are in the registry.
Everything is fine, but the CF2.O aplications doesn't work.

I think that CF 2.0 , in its initialization , checks if the files
are in ROM, and if so, it reports an error and stops working.

Is it possible to include CF2.0 in an Operating System image using
this method?

Is there another solution?

Thanks in advance.

Javi.

Sure, you can put anything into the image. In this case you're probably
doing it incorrectly.

When you install the CF CAB, it puts the files in the GAC, so the file names
are GAC compatible, not a simple "System.Drawing.dll" and the registry has
entries specifically to mark them as GACed. Your BIB and REG files must
reflect this.
