Default Application Deployment / Installer - 12-07-2004 , 04:13 PM







Hi Everybody!!!

Is there an easy way to create a deployment program / project / batch
process or anything that will help a computer illiterate (a.k.a. final user)
to install my program in his or her PDA? As you may agree with me, telling
him or her to identify the processor and the operating system that his or her
PDA has so he or she can choose the proper CAB file to copy and install is a
task that... well... how can I say it?... will take a lot of... time and
effort?

I started by using the CeAppMgr.Exe, but it doesn't seem that there is
a way I could tell this application to choose the right
"MyApplication_YourOS.YourCPU.CAB" for the current PDA installed...

The application I created runs on both Microsoft's Windows CE & Pocket
PC.

Any help is greately appreciated!!!
