NoUninstall option in Smart Device project

[Victor Espina]

Hi.

I have a Windows Mobile application and a Deploy Project, using
VS2008. When I compile the deploy project with NoUninstall property in
True, the generated cab works great at the device but I cannot
uninstall the app from Remove Programs options, as expected due to the
NoUninstall option.

But when I change the NoUninstall option to False and recompile the
deployment project, the resulting cab fails with the message "The
installation was unsucessfull", and the generated setup.log looks like
this:
