Do I have these processors correct?

I know that I didn't need to add this section (the one defining the
processor types) but i had also added

[CEDevice]
UnsupportedPlatforms = "PALM OS" ; PALM OS platform not supported

Now, every time I try to run my .msi file it tells me the connected device
is not supported for the software.

UGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!

Palm OS is not a Windows CE platform and hence a cab file won't work on one
anyhow - so this line is not required.

Ok, i took all those (not required lines out) but I continue to get the
error The Device isnt supported. If I had any hair it would certainly be
laying in lots on the floor by now.

So can you describe exactly what device you are using?

Im using the ViewSonic V37. I believe thats a X86 processor. The thing is,
the MSI was working before I put the line in saying what processors are not
supported. Then I took it out. Now it just errors and wont install. I can
manuall move the X86 cab file to the device and it works fine. On the
bright side, I was able to move the font file over to the proper directory.
Thanks for your help. This whole install file is a big PITA. (sorry)

Pete

The V37 has an XScale processor (ARM based).

Did you generate the inf file originally from Visual Studio? that should
give you a good basis from your .NETCF project from which you can customise.
Specifying the Processor types and unsupported platforms is rarely required
(and is not automatically generated by VS.NET). If you can get your cab
recognised and automatically installed without these items in the inf file
you are on the right track.
Its important you get the right CPU version because although your .NETCF exe
is portable, the support files (vsd_setup.dll) are not and are cpu specific.
Have you rebuilt the cabs using BuildCab.bat since the last edit?
