Did you generate the inf file originally from Visual Studio? that should
give you a good basis from your .NETCF project from which you can customise.
Specifying the Processor types and unsupported platforms is rarely required
(and is not automatically generated by VS.NET). If you can get your cab
recognised and automatically installed without these items in the inf file
you are on the right track.
Its important you get the right CPU version because although your .NETCF exe
is portable, the support files (vsd_setup.dll) are not and are cpu specific.
Have you rebuilt the cabs using BuildCab.bat since the last edit?
