So, I would like to find some way for a cab to automatically run once
it downloaded onto a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, programatically or
otherwise. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Any help is
greatly appreciated, seeing as how I don't know that this is at all
possible.
 
How will the file get to the device? You could write an app or service that
is always looking for new CAB files in a specific location and runs them
when they appear. Not too elegant, but it would work.
 
i'm actually getting it by downloading it with a little FTP client I
wrote. I think what I want to do is something similar to that, but I
don't want it always looking for new cabs. Actually, is there some way
to launch a cab automatically if you know the location where it will
be?
 
Sorry for asking questions, when the answers are already out there.
For anyone else in the future looking at this post. I'm gonna give
something similar to this a try:

OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core.CreateProcess("wceload.exe",\\My
Documents\\MyApp.cab);

which I found in another thread.
 
Hello

I think u r using rapi to copy the files to device.
it also provides the ceCreateProcess() method that can be useful to
extract the cab files.

thanks & regards
