for the past two days i've beeen trying to download both "microsoft.net compact framework 2.0 SP1 and SP2" because i need it to run an application i bought for my HP iPAQ phone, and i have had no luck.

i have tried so many different sites and links for it, and it downloads part of it, then when i try to install it, it gives me this message:
"Error 1335. The cabinet file 'cffiles.cab' required fot this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package."

can anyone please help me? i don't know that much about computers and i've been trying to solve this on my own but i just don't know what to do anymore.

i've contacted microsoft about this, since i first tried their website, and they've just brushed me off with their policy and procedure.

You will need to download it untill it is not currupted, i have put a link here for you.
What ever you do please delete the files and start over again until you have the correct files. Sometimes when you are in another country their networks are locked down or are more overloaded so you might have a slow connection and this can cause you to have currupt files. If someone you know has a very fast connection ask them if you can use their line. Hope this helps you.

thank you for your help.i've used the link and have begun downloading already. i hope i succeed this time.

but i do have a question about this program; does it make a difference which version i download? i mean will my application work using just CF 2.0 because the website where i purchased my application specifically mentions SP1 or SP2, so isn't the version i'm downloading older and therefore might not be sufficient to run my application?

if so, then can i somehow upgrade the version i'm getting now, to SP1 or 2 without downloading all of it in full?

i have dial up internet and it's quite time consuming as well as difficult because i can lose my connection at any time when someone calls my home tel. line and then i have start all over again.

The normal procedure will be to download the app and then the "SP1" and then install the app. When ok then install the "SP1" then the "SP2" update. Bit of a pain i know but until everthing comes in one box (or download as is in this case) it will be always slow.

Please post back if you have anymore problems or questions.
