VS2005 deployment

[Victor Paraschiv]

I want to make deployment pack for a PocketPC 2003 application. The
problem is that I cannot find in SDK files for CF the corresponding cabs
for X86 processors and the other ones.The only processor type cab I was
able to find is ARM4. How can I now make a setup pack for x86 devices?

You need to get a device SDK from your device OEM.

In v 1.1 I didn't need to get a device sdk. It's a common PDA with intel
processor. In the previous version of VS there were a .net framework cab
for each type of processor.

It's a common PDA with an x86 processor? How common? I can't think of even
one. And there are absolutely no PPC 2003 devices with an x86 processor
other than the emulator, so I can't see what you need to deploy to an x86
for.

I tryd to use the deployment on HP 1930 with arm processor and works
fine but on HP iPOAQ hx4700 with Intel PXA270 processor the setup
doesn't do its job. It says I must use a library for the apropiate
processor type. If it comes from intel I supposed it is a x86 type. Was
I wrong?

As Chris stated, there are no Windows Mobile 2003 Pocket PC devices with
an x86 processor, so you need to select an ARMv4 CAB. For.NET CF 1.0,
look in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\WindowsCE\wce400\ and you should see
a folder for each type of supported processor type. I would recommend
that you look in the \armv4 folder.

Check out this thread on ARM processors:

Intel makes the SA-1110 (StrongARM) as well as the PXA270, PXA255
processors which have ARM cores (so armv4 is the correct selection).

No, it's an ARM. v4I to be specific.

Thank you very much for helping me.
