SD Card Install

[Beebs]

I've asked this question before without a response, so I'll try again.
I need it so that when a user drops the cab file in a folder on their
SD card, it extracts exactly where they put it, not to the default
/Program Files/Application Name as Visual Studio wants it. Is there
any way to configure this to work in the .inf and then rebuild it, or
how can I go about this type of dilemma?

Installation folder is defined by InstallDir variable in [CEStrings]
sections. It can be redirected to storage card using standard WCELOAD
capabilities.

You can check if installation folder is on storage card from setup DLL and
terminate installation with error message if it's not.

You can not, however, install to the folder your CAB is in because there's
no way to set InstallDir to that location.

Now I know what I basically need can be done...does anyone out there
have a link or a sample they could provide. I don't really know where
to start as I've never done anything like this before.
