Hi Simon...

Just to make sure... I removed all "Frameworks" from my PC (XP w/SP2)...
hard reset my iPAQ (back to factory).  Then:

1.  Ran (on PC) NETCFSETUPV2.MSI (downloaded from MS)
2.  It sync'd to iPAQ... I loaded to DEVICE (not storage card) and IT reset
the iPAQ.  I pushed reset button just to make sure I followed your comments
3.  I then loaded the App (from Storage Card) and loaded it to DEVICE
also... making a new folder under PROGRAM FILES.  This half worked (as
always)
4.  Finally I loaded the App's File Converter program and it aborted.  First
try I loaded "converter" from Storage Card; second time I copied into new
folder created (in 3 above).

Regardless I got the same error (from App's second converter program) saying
"... unexpected error ...", hitting DETAILS says MissingMethodException file
or assembly name System.Windows.Forms.

This app has ALL it's files dated 11May07 but I don't know if it was
compiled under v2 or v3... as I said, developer seems to have disappeared
but, in short email with another "user"... he says it worked outright on
whatever smartphone he has.

Sure would like to get this thing going... but I'm just not smart enough on
these little guys!
Thanks for your response and, hopefully, you (or someone) has more ideas to
try...
Steve
