Latest .NET Compact Framework:
You may receive a message saying you need a newer version of the .NET Compact Framework. If this is the case then you need to get a copy of the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab installation file. This can be done by following any of the following 3 methods:
- Following the installation instructions provided by Microsoft, although this is more complicated than the next option.
- The easiest approach is to download the file directly, details are available here
- If the above two options don't work, search for NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab in your favourite search engine and find a link to installation instructions.
We are unable to provide a link to the download directly as we are not licensed to distribute the software.
Testing:
The application has been tested on a HTC HD2 however it is known to work on other touch devices. If you successfully run it on another device, please let us know so we can include it in the list.
Known issues:
You may get an "Unable to read data from the transport connection. Unknown error (0x0)" error even when your data connection is active and strong.
This appears to be a problem with the Microsoft Compact Framework dropping packets when connecting to the type of web server that Windguru uses. This issue is under investigation. If you encounter the error, you can usually just attempt the action again and it will typically be successful.
Windows Phone 7 version:
Now available on Windows Marketplace!
