Extract cab files in silent mode

[Romain TAILLANDIER]

Hi group

On my Windows CE terminal, i have an application that can be auto-update.
during runtime, MyApp check if there is a specific file (MyApp.cab), if the
cab exists the application run the Updater, and finish.

The updater wait for MyApp to finish, and then, run the Cab, wait for the
Cab to finish (which load the new version of MyApp) the run back MyApp.exe.

All that work fine.

my problem is that the user is forced to select the destination directory of
the cab. How can i run it in silent mode ?
i have to add something in the inf file wich params the .cab construction ?
i have to add some params in the BuildCab.bat ?
I have to add some params in the command such as MyApp.CAB /QUIET ?

thank you for your help...

On a Pocket PC You can use wceload.exe to install CAB file. (Actually it's
beeing called

by default)

Here is a list of command-line switches that wceload.exe supports:

a.. /delete - if value = 0 do not delete cab after install
b.. /noui - perform a silent operation. Do not ask if it is ok to
overwrite the exiting files
c.. /nouninstall - do not create a .uninstall file. The applciation entry
will not appear in Remove Programs list
d.. /askdest - will force wceload to display a dialog that allows user to
select installaltion location and some other things
e.. /noaskdest - install specified applications to specified locations
