Can Not Reinstall App Because NET 2.0 is Too New!

[winotree]

Well...that says it all, doesn't it...I mean I'm trying to reinstall a copy of Handmark's On Demand (came with SprintQ in April) after attempting a backup and restore using Sprite Backup Lite (let's not talk about THAT now) and I keep getting an error msg that my copy of NET 2.0 is too new...that if I want to (re)install On Demand I need to delete it (the new NET 2.0) and allow the OD program to...you get the idea.

Listen...I have other apps that do as good or better a job, so it's not like I really need this (and it'll reappear after my next master reset) but it's just becoming a bit of an obsession for a Saturday afternoon. Yes, I tried deleting my newest NET 2.0 CAB; tried soft reset; tried everything except getting an old copy of NET 2.0 and installing that...OMG...I'm getting dizzy just thinking about all this!!

OK...opinion time, boys and girls!! Should I (is it worth the hassle) or not. If yes, does anyone have an older copy of NET 2.0 to post? If not...I'm going to learn to love MSNBC Mobile (app) and 1stHeadlines(web)!!

I don't know how timely this is but when you installed MSNBC it updated the .Net Framework to a new (seemingly un-released) version. On-Demand will not work with it and it does not seem to want to uninstall at least not without uninstalling MSNBC.

However, you can download HandMark's Pocket Express at http://express.handmark.com/ It's a newer, better version of On-Demand. It puts news right on your home page. Beware however that many of the same features that cost with On-Demand also cost with this version after the first 30 days (9.95/month) and most of them can be gotten for free using MS Live Search.

will it let you backward downdate (instead of update ?) Scott's version is probably an older one.

Here is the "official fix"

Before I followed the instructions below I uninstalled On-Demand using ActiveSync.

[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']Uninstall MSNBC Mobile, then delete the physical directory it was in; (using ActiveSync.)[/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']It'll either be <main mem>\program files\msnbcmobile or <sd card>\program files\msnbcmobile. [/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']Once that's done, uninstall CF2.0 (using the settings program uninstall)[/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']Do a soft reset to reboot WM (probably not necessary but can't hurt). [/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']Select Get On Demand and install it to the device.[/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']It will then install CF2.0. install it to the device also.[/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']Verify that On-Demand is working again.[/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']If On-Demand is working now, go here [ http://aeurl.com/xeoqky3 ] to download the correct version for the Q running WM5. [/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif'][/font]
[FONT='Times New Roman','serif']There are also WM6 CF2.0 builds there too.
