Hi, In VS2003 under build menu is a BuildCAb option. In VS2005 there is no
such option. I would like to package my application as a cab how do i do
this?

Thanks
 
Hi, i have another question. Where do i set the various fields in the inf
file from the VS2005 IDE

eg, in the Properties window you can set OSVersionMin
and a few fields but where can i set the following for example:

[DefaultInstall]
CEShortcuts=Shortcuts
AddReg=RegKeys
CopyFiles=Files.Common1,Files.Common2

or say i wanted to add the following

[Files.Update]
log.txt,,,0

Thanks
 
You add files to the project (there's a file view for the deployment
project). For reg entries there's another view. It takes a little getting
used to, but baove the project explorer window should be icons to switch to
all of these views.

Thanks Chris, that takes care of some fields but where can you set the
Install directory from the IDE

This is what i get in my inf file if i wanted to modify the
InstallDir path, where do i do this?

[CEStrings]
AppName="DWUProj"
InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%

Thanks
