Hi,

When I run the .NET Compact Framework installer on VIsta for Business
when UAC is enabled I receive an "invalid setup file" error from
Application Manager and the installation aborts. I am prompted by UAC
for permission to run the installer, which I grant. The same problem
happens with the CF 2.0 SP1 installer.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Compact Framework 2.0 installer:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9655156b-356...

Thanks, -Scott

I did find a post in the Microsoft forums and the solution was to
manually copy the CF 2.0 CAB for the appropriate device to the
handheld and execute it. That's not really acceptable for our end-
users to have to do. Does anyone know of another solution?

Thanks, -Scott
