Deploying PDA Application

[Matt Tapia]

I have created an application for the PDA. I have several CAB files. I want
to write a setup project that will install the .NET Compact Framework on the
PDA, then recognize which of the CAB files (depending on processor) it needs
to install on the PDA, and finally copy a few OpenNETCF dll files to the
application directory. Has anyone done this or know of a link that explains
how?

GREAT! This helps so much. Thanks!

The only thing left I need to do is figure out how to bundle the .NET
Compact Framwork with the setup...any suggestions?

I'm having a little trouble with the above link and how to complete the
setup in VB.Net. I'm confused as exactlyhow tro add the custominstaller
project and it installer.vb class. By that I mean what type of project is
custom installer and what type is installer.vb?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I had a problem too doing this with vb.net as the installer and switched to
C# just for this file. There is a project type called "Custom Installer"
(just like there is Class Library, Windows App, Web App, etc.). Look for
that while adding your project.
