Installing eVB 3.0 application on Pocket PC 2003 with eVB Runtime file

[Flying Whiz]

I am trying to install eVB application on Pocket PC 2003 thru a cab
File.I am adding the eVB Runtime file to the CAB file to copy in
Windows directory on the Pocket PC 2003 device,but the dll's are not
extracted from the Run time file and we have to do manually to extract
them.I don't want my user to go File Explorer and manually tap on the
eVB runtime file to extract the dll's.Is there any way where I can
install the eVb Run time files in Windows directory on the Pocket PC
2003 device while installig my eVB application.

Can anyone plz help me on this.

Thanks
Whiz

Are you using the eVb application install wizard to create your cab file?
Seems like it has always taken care of this for me (unless I'm not
understanding your question)...

Hi Whiz,

You can use CeAppMgr.exe which is desktop tool which installs/uninstalls
applications via ActiveSync. It comes with ActiveSync so you do not need to
provide it to the customer.

The following two articles describe how you can create MSI projects for
.NET CF applications. Although they are written for .NET CF applications,
described technique uses CeAppMgr and is mostly applicable to non .NET CF
applications. The first article misses some details and the second one
fills the gaps.
