Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5

The eXpo like every other WM phone comes with .Net 2.0. This is an older version than the current 3.5 or even the beta 3.7. Well you can download .Net 3.5 and install it to your phone from Microsoft. Here is the link:

You will need to use your data cable and activesync to hook up your phone to your computer. The file runs from your computer. It will install .Net 3.5 to your phone. We aren't done yet though. Now we got to set .Net 3.5 as the default because 2.0 is still set as the default. I recommend a nice little program that was developed for the Incite that works on the eXpo to do this. It is called CT810 Tweak 1.5 created by SSeymour. You will also need mortscript to run it. Attached are cabs for both. Mortscript can also be found on the author's website at:

Once you have them installed you will notice that CT810 Tweak 1.5 won't be in your start menu. For some reason it doesn't appear as a shortcut on WM 6.5. To access it go to start menu>file explorer and navigate to windows>start menu>programs and run it from there. Once you have it open select Make .Net CF 3.5 default(faster) and click ok. It will then ask you to power off your device. Power it off and power it back on. Now .Net 3.5 is the default. The advantages to updating .Net are that your phone will run faster (although it may not be noticeable with the snapdargon processor) and some third party apps won't run without it.

Note: All other options with CT810 Tweak 1.5 have not been tested on the eXpo so use at your own risk.

I'm running Framework 3.7 over 3.5 right now.

Does it make 3.7 default if i chose the 3.5 framework?

Thanks Dark, kinda figured but wanted your opinion sir.


No linky for the Beta?  
No wonder you got hacked

Gotcha, so danger

How do I tell if it worked and it actually switched over to 3.5? I don't really notice any difference like aforementioned. (Sorry if this is a dumb question.  )

lol I have no idea how it happened, but somehow 3.5 got installed on my phone. Maybe it was a supplemental install for another program I installed. I used this reg key to switch over to the 3.5 though.

Yeah. Unfortunately when Microsoft coded the cab that installs to the phone they neglected to include a reg edit to make it the default. Why they would do that is beyond me, but at least with a little searching the tweak was found.

That is weird. Are you using Woodhole's tweaker program. If you are maybe you accidentally set 2.0 to the default. If not then it may have been some sort of fluke. After all these Windows Mobile phones aren't perfect and do have their glitches, yet i love them so.
