This is the first time I have tried to create an install process for
the PPC.

I thought I followed all the steps documented in:
Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications - Ralph
Arevesen. - March 2003

But when I get to the end of the process and start the install, I
recieve the following message when the install process says to look at
the PPC for any further actions:

Application was not installed successfully. Please run Setup again.

Where Application is the name of the program I am trying to install.

The setup file looks like:

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = App

[App]
Description = Async Telnet client application.
CabFiles =
Async_client2_PPC.X86.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.ARM.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.ARMV4.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.MIPS.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.SH3.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB

Any thoughts on what could be wrong? I have a much more detailed
description of every step I took, but was unable to append it to this
message from Google Groups.

Thanks

You will have to remove the cabfiles that target the emulator
(Async_client2_PPC.X86.CAB & Async_client2_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB) from your setup
file.
When you do that, the installer will work just fine.

It seems that you encountered with the error in the AfterInstall event.
Review you post installation code. Also I recomend you to write small
application, reproduce all steps that you have done before may be it
will help you to recognize an error.

If you would like I can send you a small example.

Hi,

Appreciate if you could help me s I'm stuck up on my project which is
due to run demo ob actual device.

I have deveoped a Pocket PC application (VB.NET, VS.NET 2003). I ran the
application from developement machine using emulator as well as using
actual device. It's working fine.

Now, I want insall the application on Pocket PC device which "i-mate
PDA2k Pocket PC".

I don't know how to install SQL CE and .NET Compactframework on PDA
device. Also I want to create an setup (.msi) file to install my
applicaiton Pocket PCs.

How to create setup file ? Kindly advise is there any other methods to
deploying appllications on device ?

All your helps are much appreciated.

For "Deployment Patterns for Microsoft .NET Compact Framework" refer to
[1] also it will be useful to read "Developing and Deploying Pocket PC
Setup Applications" [2].
