deployment fo pocket pc applications

[Ron Harter]

Can someone point me to some resources that show how package and deploy
pocket pc applications. All I can figure out how to do is create the cab
file. I would like to create an install that runs on the desktop and
downloads the application to the pocket pc, sets up all the program info.

Basically, what I have found is that if you're writing it in C its pretty
painless - but if its a VB app, plan on pulling hairs. Or just sticking to
copying the appropriate CAB files manually (or walking your users through
doing it).

I hope someone here proves me wrong...

The simplest way I've found (even if you know C) is to just use Wise or
InstallShield. Use it to deploy one app and it's paid for itself.

I have used the free installation tool from NullSoft
(http://nsis.sourceforge.net/) and it has worked very well. We deploy
multiple cab files using the same installer. It may not be as fancy as Wise
or Installshield but it does the work and gives you a lot of flexibility.
Hope this helps.
