I've managed to build a (simple) .NET CF v1 application, but now I'm having trouble getting it to auto run at boot.

I put the file in the root directory of the compact flash card with the filename "boot_app.exe" (no quotes), according to the instructions in AN296 and also in the latest "Zoom™ Development Kit Windows® CE Evaluation Guide".

Once CE boots I can open "My Device" -> "Storage Card" and then double click on boot_app (the extension is hidden) and the program runs.

This is using the NK.bin from "LH7A404_DEV_IMAGE_For_All_Other_PNs.zip" in the download section. The program won't run at all using the NK.bin from "A404_Show_Image_For_All_Other_PNs.zip", presumably since the .NET Compact Framework isn't part of the bin file (right?).

Any suggestions?
