OEMs (the guys who make Windows Mobile devices) are required - by
Microsoft
to ship the lastest version of the Compact Framework (at that time) in the
ROM chips of the build they plan to build. This started with the advent of
PPC 2003 SE which had CF 1.0 installed, then some WM5 had CF 2.0 I think
SP2
installed. Now with WM6, SQL Server CE 3.0 will be installed in ROM as
well
as CF 2.0. I guess this trend will continue, maybe WM 6.1 will ship with
CF
3.5....lets hope so!

VS will automagically deploy CF to your emulator so this explains why you
need not install CF.

Hi.
I've been written desktop applications for years. One of the biggest
difficulties of distributing my application has been to make the
client install .NET Framework Redistributable. Now, I'm about to start
writing applications for the Windows Mobile 5.0 (smart device). Since
I don't have a pocket PC, I used the emulators. Using Visual
Studio .NET, running the application on the emulator was very easy,
but I don't see any process of installing .NET framework on the device
(emulator). When I browsed to the application folder, I could only
find one single exe file. Do Windows mobile come with .NET Framework
installed? I know there is .NET Compact Framework Redistributable, but
it seemed like it was meant to be installed on PC not on Pocket PC.

When I deploying my smart device application, do I only need to give
the users the executable file, like X-copy installation?
