Per,
Thanks for your help. Its now even more frustrating, now that I've got this far.
Well I can always try the download again, but I don't think its that, because the download installs the desktop part ok, it only goes bad when trying to install to the sp5, and I'm presuming something on the phone is blocking the installer and the messagebox it displays is just a bogus generic message.
The example I'm trying is the NotificationBrokerViewer from the SDK. That checkbox in project settings is checked by default, so its not that. I can see while I'm deploying that the NETCFv2.wm.ARMV4I.cab is being deployed. So I'm not quite sure why you are even required to run Net Compact Framework 2.0 installer. I do get a warning from the phone that storage space is getting low, but the deployment succeeds. How did you conclude that this step was necessary? Neil's message didn't mention that, and I would have thought that the deployment would only be necessary, if you didn't have VS2005. What happened when you first tried to deploy before you installed CF2.0?
It would appear the phone is unlocked ok, because at least I can now use the Remote Registry editor and I can see the registry of the phone. I'm presuming that now its unlocked I don't need any additional certificates etc.
I'm getting there, but there appears to be one more step, before I can successfully run a VS2005 exe. Its certinly telling me I need a later version of the operating system, because the exception is InvalidProgramException.

Hi
First run the cgacutil.exe on your phone. (in the windows folder)
My 8310 shows
CF version 2.0.5238.0, 1.0.4292.2
Then fire up VS2005 and create your own small hello application project
and deploy that. That should work. (Make sure you select a CF 2.0
project and not a 1.0)
Also make sure you have enough space + memory left on your device...
