SqlServer files.....

[Lloyd Dupont]

I'm writting an application for the PocketPC
It access SqlServer (on the desktop) therefore I need the SqlServer ADO.NET
driver.

I saw these CAB file:
sql.ppc3.arm.CAB, sql.ppc3.sh3.CAB, sql.ppc3.mips.CAB
and
sql.wce4.armv4.CAB, sql.wce4.x86.CAB, sql.ppc3.x86.CAB

the last 3 one are not really needed, isn't it ?
I mean the x86 file are for the emulator and the other are not ppc but
wce4(? what is that) file.
Am I right ?

I mean should I only provide the first 3 one in my install package ?

It really depends on the device you are going to deploy on. If the device is a pocket pc based you will have to install sql.ppc3 FILE(s) for the cpu of the device you are deploying on (for example iPaq 2200 has an XScale cpu which has ARM architecture so you would have to install de file sql.pp3.arm.cab). The same way you will install the correspondent file for Windows Ce .Net 4.x (not pocket pc). You could provide all sql.ppc3 cabs but you might want to implement a cpu detection routine to install the right cab on the device.

Pocket PC 2003 is really wce4. You need sql.wce4.armv4.CAB for Pocket PC
2003.
