Configuration Settings and CAB files

[Guest]

I have an xml file called Settings.xml in my project. When I tried to build
and launch the application into the device via MSI, it gave me the
"TypeLoadException". I found that Settings/xml file is not found in the
cabfile. But when I buld the cab file using the buidcab under the Build mneu
in the VS .net, I could see the contents of the xml file in the clear text
format, and I could able to load the application using the active sync and
runs properly. Could anyone please explain me what to do to have the
Setting.xml file CAB file when I buid and create the MSI file ? Di Ihave to
add anything specific in my Installer Project ?

It sounds like you need to modify the INF file to include your XML file in
the CAB.

Try looking at article on MSDN - Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup

Thanks John...

I have already found where did I go wrong. I copied and pasted the .inf
and buildcab.bat files before I added the settings.xml file. So the info file
didn't include the settings.xml. Now it is working fine. Thank you very much
for your reply.

Thanks!!
