Provisioning XML

[Paula Schezcui]

Hi, i´ve my CAB project that is part of my app solution, but i´d like to add
and provisioning xml when i compile the entire solution.
I saw in the web, but all examples do it manually, with the command line
cabwiz.exe. Are there any way to do it automatically, it means, provisioning
xml file when i compile my solution or project ?

My solution is WM5, CF 2.0 C#.

Thanks in advance.

You could add a post-build step that runs a command line or batch file that
does it for you.

Thanks Chris for your reply....but under the CAB project ( in properties ) i
can´t find an option to run anything on post-build

Where do you say that i need to code that ?

Thanks

I think your best bet is to create a setup dll and then call your command via
the Create Process method in the Install_Exit method. You can find examples
of setup dll on the internte.

Maybe I am overlooking this, but can't you just add your _setup.xml to your
CAB project defined in VS?

I think the wize array of responses means that the question just isn't
clear. Can you tell us again, in more detail, what you're trying to do?

Paula,

See the following link about Injecting Provisioning XML into a CAB. There
is a sample download that I believe will do exactly what you are looking for.
Hope this helps.
