Custom Installer - Installation fails on Windows Mobile 5

[Thomas Bandt]

Hi,

I have build a custom installer like Chris Tacke describes it
in his article "Deploying .NET Compact Framework 2.0
Applications with .cab and .msi Files".

The installation process is successfull on my one PDA with
Windows for Pocket PC 2003, but when I try it on my other
PDA with the new Windows Mobile 5 it fails with a message
like 'Installation ... failed' (in German ;-)). It copies
the cab file to the device and executes it, but then the
installation of the cab failes.

Any ideas about that?

Just for information: there is enough space avaiable (~ 500 MB,
the app is about 16 MB) on the Storage Card which is selected
as installation target.
