I have searched this forum for solutions to "How do you deploy your PPC app" and the example I have found does not work for me, how it done

I've made some progress but

When installing an app how do you get it to put an Icon in “Programs” to start your app

[JohnSavage]

Come on guy's (and girls) I am trying but

How do I update the Common language runtime on my mobile device?
As I now have a message that says it’s not compatible with my app?

I have always followed a pretty minimal approach, because I have never needed to set up any kind of serious and polished installation package. I also have worked with a slightly older version of .NET, but I suspect that what I did is pretty much the same as what you could do.

All I ever needed to do was get the four .CAB files (three of which are system files, while the fourth was my program). Two of the three system files are related to SQLServerCE, if I remember right, and the third was the runtime framework.

With those three files, I copied them across to the PDA using ActiveSync (is that applicable to your system? The key is copying them over, not what you use to do so), then clicked on each one in turn to install them on the PDA. This took care of the icon and all that rot.

I have read about more involved techniques, but I, personally, have never used them.

Thanks for the input but I have now sorted it, but what a lot of work!!

First I had to cook a Rom to update from PPC 2002 to PPC 2003SE on my XDA, then used the IDE to add the latest Windows updates and then finally from http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/ I used there installer and now it's working fine

Well, yeah, you can do that too.
