1) First make sure you have .NET Compact 3.5 installed

2) Do registry fix

Maybe someone could help me with .NET as I don't think I'm "right". I don't remember in what order I did things but the bottom line is this:

When I try to run Mobile Monger I get an error saying "This application requires a newer version of .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device". Then I see a .NET CF Initialization Error saying "the app failed to load required components....".

So it sounds like I'm not up 3.5. So when I run the .NET CF 3.5 cab file I got from MS, I get an error telling me "The .NET Compact Framework version you are attempting to install already exists in ROM" and the installation fails.

FWIW, my registry is set so that 2.0 is 0 and 3.5 is 1. I believe I hacked that myself at some point. Also at some point in time, I recall going to Remove Programs and seeing 2.0 in the list and removed it thinking it would help. Now I see no .NET in Remove Programs at all.

At this point, I'm not sure 3.5 is properly installed (Monger says no). Can someone tell me if they see either 2.0 or 3.5 in their list in Remove Programs? Is there another method for me to determine where I am and how to fix things. Truthfully, I have no other symptom of a problem except not being able to run Monger but now I'm wondering if I am really running 3.5 and getting the speed improvement over 2.0 or not.

Thanks
