I have a PPC app I have written, it's going to be installed on a few
thousand PPCs within the same company.

I have created an installer application in VS for this app. What I want to
know is how can I ensure that DotNet V2 + SqlCE 2005 is installed as part of
the same installation? I only need the data part of SqlCE, not replication
etc.

Basically I'd like to have only a single CAB file to install everything, it
will make implementation much easier.

Thanks

Pete

Hi Peter,

Have a look here:
www.pocketpcinstaller.com

This does exactly what you're after. You can drag'n'drop your .cab files
into this app, it'll compress them all into one PocketPC installer .exe file.
When this is run on the device, it will go through your .cab files, determine
which of them *need* to be installed, and install them.

It's an ideal way to create one (large, but compressed) .exe, which
contains everything you need to install all of your libraries and code
on a blank device in one go.


Good luck !


Mike
