Checking for CF and SQL CE while installing

[Guest]

Dear All,
I am trying to make a setup project for a pocket pc project, i have two issues
1. i want to create a shortcut for the program in the programs folder
i create a shortcut for the output and copy it to the programs folder in the
filesystem editor in the cab project, but when installing i can't find the
shortcut

2. if the CF is not installed on the device how could i notice that and
install it, the same for the SQL CE component.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,

For the shortcut you can use a plugin today to add an icon on the
desktop.
You can also create a C++ application with EVC for testing if the CF is
installed.

Hi
Do you use VS2005 ? There you can add shortcuts via a setupproject


Concerning the Problems with dertemining, wether the .NET CF and SQL
Mobile is installed you may use the CEAppMgr.exe which determines
automatically the correct cab files and recognizes if it is already
installed.

I use the CEAppMgr. exe and it always worked fine
If you need help with this I may collect my Link I've got and send it to
you, its quite simple and you can integrate it in nearly all installer
e.g. the FreeNSIS installer
