I am trying to create a custom installer that deploys and
installs the .cab file on a Windows CE Device from a
desktop.

I used the solution provided by Microsoft at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp
url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/netcfdeployment.asp

and modified it to install my application.

The problem I am having is that when I run it and it gets
to the 'Select Installation Folder' it does not give me
the option to install it on my device through my Active
Sync connection. It only allows me to install it on the
desktop.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob

The way installer works is that the application is installed on the desktop
(into a subfolder of the ActiveSync folder) and then upon connection being
detected - to the device
