Deploying CF2.0 app to device

[Dave Harry]

I've written an app for Windows Mobile 5.0 and am ready to deploy it.
I have a Device Application project and a Smart Device Cab project.

Since I don't have my own device, I run on the emulator, then build the cab
and email it to someone who tests it for me.
So far he has been copying the CAB to the device, then executing it there
which installs it.

Initially it would not run; he had to install the CF2.0 SP2 framework on his
PC before the program would run on the device, a manual process.


So...
What do I do to release the project publicly, to make it easy for users to
install?
Sounds like I need to bundle CF2.0 SP2 with it, but how do I do that?
Am I using the right deployment project, or do I want something else?

TIA

Thought it must have been, but I couldn't google one down.
Thanks for the link.
