So the deal appears to be this: as I develop a Whidbey SDE application and deploy it to a PocketPC 2K3 device, it deploys the 2.0 CLR with it as it should, but since the PocketPC doesn't have a real GAC and is file based, mscoree.dll 2.0 overwrites the 1.1 version in the windows directory (on the device). I know that the Compact Framework 2.0 is supposed to support side by side versioning but either it's not there yet or I am doing something wrong. The newsgroups don't touch this area.
