process.start with wceload using /noui switch fails

[davewilliamson55555]

I have a VS.NET 2005 cab along with it's inf on a storage card of a
windows mobile 5 device. From a VB.NET 2005 app on the same storage
card ... using the Process.Start("\Windows\wceload.exe", "/noui
/noaskdest /nodelete ""\Storage Card\App\mycab.CAB""") does not work
.... but if I remove the /noui it fires off the cab and the prompt
appears to "Choose the location to install".

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Correction ... the /noaskdest switch is what causes it to fail.

You can replace the /noui /noaskdest switches with /silent (Windows Mobile
5.0 only) for a silent install.

Peter,
Good to know. I'll give that a whirl one day. My bubble was burst
when I read that the default answer for uninstalling the previous app
is to Cancel (when no ui is presented) so regardless of the switch the
new CAB won't automatically update the device if a previous version was
already installed.
