I posted a couple of questions about this on this group
but had no luck with the answers I got.

Does any one have an example of a working sample
application with a custom Setup.dll for Smartphone?

I can not get it to work. I think I got a valid
Setup.dll, I have include it in my cab and made the
necesarry changes to the inf file. But the dll is not
getting called at all.
Just for the hell of it, I tried changing the entries in
the inf file to and invalid dll and I get no error at
all. Shouldn't I at least get a dll not found error?. And
when I install the app on a Smartphone 2002 that does not
have support for .Net the vs_setup.dll, which I thought
checked for missing .Net, is not throughing any errors
and th eapp installs fine.

Does any one know anything about this subject?

Thanks
 
Smartphone CAB's are tricky. Not only does the CAB itself have to be
signed, but so does any ce_setup DLL you embed. Have you signed everything
using proper certificates for the device you're deploying to?
