Our PPC app looks good. The install works.
My management understands the need to install CF on the PPC, but doesn't
like needing to do the larger full .NET download to a customers' PC just so
the installer extension works.

So - Is there an example of creating a custom installer dll (like the C#
example), in C++ so I won't need full .NET framework on the customers' PC?

Thanks,
Jim Mead

MFC component as your setup project's custom actions... I don't know of any
samples out there of this though...

my solution was to write a quick little vb app that calles the pocket PC
installer
Public Const strMICROSOFT_CEappMGr =
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\CEAPPMGR.EXE"
under Hive LOCAL_MACHINE if you go to this registry entry you can get the
path of the CE app manager....

for example I use c:\program files\appmgr\cdappmgr.exe compactframework.ini
it should start up the installer application.

I will check back if you have anymore questions

later,
Jay
