Thank you again for the replies. As I described in a follow-up post, a hard
reset seemed to fix things, as long as I didn't restore from an old backup.
I'm not 100% convinced I'm in the clear, because the very first time I tried
deploying CF2.0 against the freshly-reset device it didn't work; but when I
reinstalled it it was fine, and after another hard reset it was fine the
first time. But if there is a real problem, maybe it's something I can live
with, luckily I'm under warranty for a few more years ;)
BTW the device is an x50v, so it sounds like 2.0 should be fine.
Thanks again!

I would suggest copying huge binary (should take almost all memory on
device and should not be the one converted by Active Sync - ZIP would be
good) file to the device and then back to desktop and comparing copy with
original using "fc /b file1 file2".
If it shows files are not the same, you've got some hardware issue.
However, it's not that easy to detect memory issues.
NETCF calculates checksums of relatively big files so even one changed bit
would be detected.
By the way, what's the device model? We do have bunch of Dell's here and
NETCF V2 sure installs on to x50v.

Thank you for the reply. I'm on a Dell device running the English OS, but
it sounds like that might not matter.
Can you suggest any way to confirm there is file corruption, so I can
convince Dell to provide a warranty replacement?
Thanks again.

This failure to GAC was reported couple times on Acer n50 and iPaq
h5550, both running German OS.

Attempt to repro that on Acer n50 with latest German OS failed (e.g.
installation worked as it should).
I suspect this might be faulty device which corrupts files in memory.

Some additional info:
I found the CF 2.0 install log on the device, and it does look like the
installation is not succeeding. The specific problems appear to be
GAC-related: first there's a message "Delete GAC list file: failure",
followed by an exit code of 0x80008001 from cgacutil.exe, and the lines
"GACing failed." and "Unable to add files to GAC."

I'm trying to run a very simple CF app I wrote on my Pocket PC running
WM2003SE, and although I am able to build and deploy using VS2005,
when I try to run it on the device nothing happens. If I try to debug
from VS it fails with an error "Could not load the CLR" or something
like that. But it did deploy CF 2.0, and the device thinks CF 2.0 is
installed. There are no problems running on the emulator.
I also noticed that an older app I'd built with VS2003 against CF1.0
no longer runs on the device either. This app used to run fine,
although I have since had to replace the device (with the same model),
so I'm not sure if it ever actually ran on the new one. But the device
definitely thinks it has CF1.0 installed. I also tried building a new
app in VS2005 against CF2.0, with the same results. (VS2003 is now
completely unable to communicate with the device, but I'm assuming
that's a separate problem.)
My first guess is that somehow the CLR is simply not loading, but I
haven't worked much on the PPC and I'm stuck on how to troubleshoot
this. Is there any way to see what might are occurring? As it is the
failure is completely silent. Is there a way to validate the CLR
installation? I've tried removing and reinstalling, it didn't help.
Another thing I've noticed is that every time I deploy from the
desktop, VS redeploys the CF 2.0 cab, as if it didn't recognize that
it's already there. I don't know if that might be revealing. I haven't
yet tried a hard reset, but I'll probably try that next and see what
happens on a clean device.
This all used to work well, but somewhere along the line something
broke, and I don't know what. The major environment changes in that
time are a) I got the replacement device (which should be identical to
the previous one), and b) I installed VS2005 on the desktop machine.
Any suggestions are appreciated -- at this point I'm not sure where to
even start looking, and it's very frustrating!
Thanks in advance for any help!
