Stupid question but important for me !

[Thomas]

Hi group !

I've a little question : when I execute CAB files (Compactframework install
package or .CAB generated with VS.NET), they disappear after the
installation. But when I make a .CAB file with InstallShield, it is not
destroyed after the installation.
I would like to have the behaviour for the installation package of the
Compactframework.
How can I do ?

Thanks,

Thomas

Set the Read Only attribute of the .CAB file to ensure the file is not
removed on installation. In File Explorer on your desktop pc right click the
file and select properties - ensure the Read Only checkbox is ticked.

Actually, it wasn't. Been wondering about it myself for a while
