WCELOAD.EXE and /noaskdest in WM5?

[Guest]

I've read several posts stating that utilizing the /noaskdest switch with the
desired install path entered into the registry at
"HKLM\software\apps\microsoft application installer\Install" is no longer
supported in WM5. I'm quite puzzled by this, since it seems to be such a
needed feature. What we're trying to do is install the CAB silently, but
using the /silent switch, and have it install to the storage card. I realize
we can adjust the default path in the CAB file, but that only applies when
it's our own CAB file. What if we want to do this with someone elses? Is
there any workaround or is this now impossible?

Thanks,

I totally agree. I've had exactly the same issue. Does seem
strange doesn't it.

I just encountered this as well. So far, no solution. My last great
idea was to hard code my own value for the %C1% that substitutes for
"Program Files" in most .cab files, by peppering the registry with the
value ProgramFilesDir (as is the case for desktop Windows). Then I
could use /silent but still force the default Device path to something
like \Storage Card\Program Files\. So far, also no luck. Is there
ANY solution...short of hacking/recompiling the .cab files themselves?
