Smart Device CAB Project

[Guest]

I'm using Visual Studio.NET 2005 and I'm creating a new Smart Device CAB
Project for my device that runs Windows CE 5.0.
My obbiettive is install 5 files under folder \Hard Disk\MyApplication and
another file under \Hard Disk\TEMP, where "Hard Disk" is my Compact Flash.
Now the question :
1) Exist a method that disable the my installation file under Control Pane
-> Remove Application ? I' don't want that my installation is showed under
control panel.
2)Why execute the CAB file from my USB key, the file CAB after installation
is deleted ? I'don't want that CAB file is deleted.
3)Is necessary for execute CAB file that Compact Framework is installed ?
Thanks
Stefano

Hi Stefano,

1) I'm not aware of a means to accomplish this. What is your concern with
having an entry for your application for Remove Programs?

2) If you don't want the CAB file to be deleted, you should call
wceload.exe[1] with the switch "/delete 0" (sans quotes).

3) It not necessary to have the .NET CF installed to execute a CAB file. Of
course, if you are installing a .NET CF application, you'll need it
installed for your app to run.
