No ICON in Programm folder after CAB-Installation

[Wolfgang Schwarz]

Hi,

With VS2005 I have created a CAB-File from my PPC-Project.
After installing on my PocketPC there is no Icon in the programm folder.
Programm is available and runable

Testing CAB-Installation with an old CAB-File (from VS2003), the
Programm-ICON is there

What must I do, to get the Programm-Icon with VS2005-CAB-files ?

Thank you for response

Check your setup project and make sure the icon is included. You have
to set the icon file as content in the project itself. The you ccan go
to the setup project and look at the file include (primary output and
content files). Then you need to make sure the icon goes in the right
directory (/windows/start menu/programs)?

Briam,

thank you for your response

the icon IS includes in the setup project, and after installing the CAB-File
the iconfile is also in the programm folder on the pocketpc
(/start/programme/<folder>).
But its not shown in the programm-icon-folder !
Something is missing - but what ?

Well what is in that folder is typically the shortcut. Does your
solution have the icon associated with the exe?

What version of PocketPC are you using?

In my CAB project, I go to File System (View -> Editor -> File System)
and then in the Start Menu Folder, I add a short cut to the primary
output of the program project (Right click -> Create shortcut).

Now in the program project make sure your icon is set for the project.

Putting this shortcut in the start menu folder will automatically add it
to the programs folder as well.

Hope this helps

Ross,

yes it helps.
I don't know that in VS2005 must something be done manuell to create
shortcuts. In VB2003 it was automatically.
I don't find anything about this in the documentation !

Thank you very much.
