Installing the game

This game requires Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 to be installed on your device. You may already have it installed, because it is used by many applications.

If nothing happens after you tap the game's icon, this means that the .NET CF 2.0 is missing.

You can download the .NET CF 2.0 from Microsoft's web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&DisplayLang=en

Don't worry about the size, it won't use more than 2-3MB on your device. The installer is so large because it contains every possible version of the .NET CF 2.0.

If the .NET CF 2.0 setup fails on Windows Mobile 5.0, please read this information:

"We have seen many reports of the NETCF v2 CAB files failing to install on Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Some of these setup failures have been caused by a bug in the Windows Mobile 5.0 CAB installer (wceload). If the CAB contains an .exe the installer scans the system for all running exes and in doing so takes up more memory then needed. If your device is already low on RAM the installer fails with out an error. This bug has been fixed in later builds of Windows Mobile 5.0 (AKU 2.2) so devices shipping in the future will not suffer form this issue. If you encounter a NETCF CAB file setup failure with error #4 you have likely hit this bug. To work around this bug we will be re-naming all executables (cgacutil.exe) extensions to something other then .exe. Then during installation our setup.dll will rename the file back to .exe. To get NETCF v2 RTM installed, soft reset your device, shut down all running applications, and try running the CAB file again [what they mean here is .cab file with the setup of .NET CF 2.0, do not confuse it with .CAB file with the game that we talk about below]."

It means that if your device has Windows Mobile 5.0 and the setup of the .NET CF 2.0 fails, you should perform a soft reset (the soft reset will close all running applications - you should save your work if necessary, it won't delete any data saved on your device) and the first thing to do afterwards is to run the .NET CF 2.0 setup.
