does location of the .CAB matter?

[rb]

when unzipping the cf1.CAB(or others) file on a WinCE 4.2 device, does it
matter where the .CAB file is located on the device? asking because in
examples i have looked at, the .CAB was copied from the \Application
directory to the \windows directory prior to unzipping. is there a reason
to do this?

When creating the CAB file, the files destinations are defined according
to the .inf file, so it doesn't matter where is it run from.

Not that I know of. wceload should be able to open the cab from pretty much
anywhere

I have seen issues where the registry entry for .cab files was not quite
correct and trying to run them from a path with a space would fail.
Othewise it makes no difference.
