Hello,
I would like to deploy my application using .CAB files.

When someone wants to install my application, he should
install every of the 4 CAB files. (3 for SQL CE and 1
for .NET CF).

Is it possible to create only one .CAB file for the entire
application, containing my application`s CAB file and the
4 others needed to run?

Thank you in advance.

I have used the solution linked below with the NSIS installer to create
a multicab installer that installs more than one cab at a time.

It will install all the cabs separately so its quite the solution you
are looking for but it should work to install several cab files at once.

Hi Theodore,

In your solution, add a new project and, in the "Create Project"
window, choose "Setup and Deployment". You can either specify
everything manually or use the wizard.

HTH,

Isn´t this only possible for desktop-setups? I did not ever get a setup
project to work for the PocketPC...
