Resources.dll do not update .cab (third try in this NG! MS Bug ?!)

When i deploy a localized solution directly from VS2005 to a device, the
resource DLLs embed correctly into their language dependent folders.
When creating a CAB-File (with localized resources) and install it on a
device, the resource DLLs copy randomly in any localized sub-folder.
Any workaround available??

Have you included subfolder(s) and files into the CAB? Please post CAB's INF
file.

Can you check this to ! Thanks a lot in advance!

I see... I though localized resource files were not deployed correctly which
is not the case.



What you see is expected as CabWiz from from WM 2003 SDK does not support
Unicode, you can only use ASCII characters in INF.

My recommendation would be to avoid any none-ASCII characters in INF files.



CabWiz from WM 5.0 offers limited Unicode support.



In this particular case you might be able to use macros:

Dear Ilya,
thanks, but localized resource files were not deployed correctly!!!
The shortcuts problem has only been the second question.

The most important question is the issue with localized dlls.

Thanks
Michael

Thanks for your reply. I believe I only use Ascii characters in the
..inf (there are no accents,....)

Interesting: So, what exactly is going on with these files? Can you see them
in the CAB (you can open it on desktop to check)?

Are subfolders created? If they are not deployed correctly (how?), are other
files deployed?

Basically these files are no different from any other file in the CAB,
CabWiz is not aware of their nature.



I've one comment on the INF, but it should not be an issue - you've declared
InstallDir macro:



InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%



However, it's not actually used.

Hi Ilya,

the CAB file itself makes all subfolders and installations correctly. I
checked the _setup.xml file and found, that all is OK,

The issue seems that VS 2005 can not divide during CAB creation between
different languages. The CAB file that results contains either only englisch
Resource.dlls or french dlls. Although in the CAB file should be two
different dlls (english and french)
there are two exactly same files CONVEN~1.008 and CONVEN~1.009 (french, if
you open them in editor you can see french words)

The english DLL is not transferred from VS2005 into the CAB-file at all.

I can send you the original files if you give me your email address.

Thanks
Michael

Same here:
I have three langauges french english and german
If they are correct the size is respectively 80 ko, 72 ko, 80 ko
But it appears with cab installation that all language are with a of 80
ko and french and german doesn't work.
Is there a relation with neutral language ( I set english) or
assembly???
I also can send files If you want to check deeplier. Just ask what you
need.
And for the installation dir: I do not set this variable it is VS2005
smart project cab which defines path like this. So a bug?

It appears CabWiz could not distinguish between source files with the same
name but in different folders.

So, it would grab first file and duplicate it twice (or more):



[SourceDisksFiles]
....



"CONVENO Sales.resources.dll"=8
"CONVENO Sales.resources.dll"=9



[Files.Common8]
"CONVENO Sales.resources.dll","CONVENO Sales.resources.dll",,0

[Files.Common9]
"CONVENO Sales.resources.dll","CONVENO Sales.resources.dll",,0



Note entries are the same; CabWiz does not pay attention to the folder.



Here's a workaround:



1. In main project which produces resource files run a post build procedure
which would create copies of these files with unique name.

For example, "fr\CONVENO Sales.resources.dll" would be copied to
fr\fr_CONVENO Sales.resources.dll

2. In your CAB project add files with unique names instead of originals.

3. Select these files one by one, choose "Rename" in context menu and type
original name.



Here's sample INF. Note files are unique now, but original names would be
restored on device.

Also note I've added files to "Application folder" so %InstallDir% macro is
actually used.

This macro can be redirected to storage card upon installation.

CESignature="$Windows CE$"
