I have successfully modified the setup information (.inf)
files for my device and built a new cab file on the
changes made in the inf file.
You do this by changing the shortcut on the last line of
your .inf file to point at the specific application.
However, I want the new cab to install not just one
application but a couple of others that are within the
project as well.
Is this possible? Has anybody done it before? If so what
is the syntax.
The currant syntax for one application is

[Shortcuts]
Project_Name,0,FileName.exe

I have tried variations of this such as

[Shortcuts1.ARM]
Project_Name,0,FileName.exe

[Shortcuts2.ARM]
Project_Name,0,sqlce.ppc3.ARM.exe
 
Try this documentation on MSDN :

Thanks, I have read all documentation I can find and have
successfully added a number of files to my .inf file.
I now need to know whether I can add a string that will
open the files within the cab i send to the device. And is
there a run order. The reason I am doing this is that when
the battery on a mobile device runs out or there is a hard
reset all RAM is lost. I then need to re-install the .net
compact framework, sql ce, myApp etc etc..
Any help greatly appreciated.

Marc.
 
Marc,

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking how to perform a
custom action when the CAB is exploded on the device?
