Compact Framework 2.0 Install Problems

I have an iPAQ 2795 with Windows Mobile 5.0. ActiveSync has never worked for me, that is a separate issue. For this reason I install all programs on it by first obtaining a .CAB. I put this .cab into a .zip and post it to my local website. From there I use pocked ie to download. I exctract this zip on my mobile device with functionality built into the Resco File Explorer.

I have verified that Resco is extracting files without issue from a .zip.

With the .cab file on the mobile device I simply double click and the install starts. Everytime I do this I see the following message: "Installation of CF.cab was unsuccessful". CF.cab is file "NETCFv2.wce5.x86.cab" simply renamed.

Using cgacutil.exe I can see that Compact Framework 1.0.4292.00 is currently installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the latest CF installed I am at a loss.

Thanks in advance.

I imagine some program could be using the installed cf but how would I know that there is no task manager correct
