Hi there, any help with this would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to build a simple setup program in .net following the
instructions from:
http://www.codeproject.com/netcf/PackagingAndDeployingPPC.asp#xx1027169xx

as well as the ones from MSDN.

However, i go through all the steps in the instructions (about 5 times) and
i still can't seem to get it to work.

The installation installs all the files to my PC, runs CEAPPMANAGER i then
click OK and it just closes and does nothing.

Now my thinking is it can't find the .ini file, but it's under the main
application root and it's definiately called the same thing in the
installer.dll (SMPDA.ini)

Any ideas at all?

Thanks in advance
 
The trick to CeAppMgr is to ensure that the .ini file is in the current
directory. To help troubleshoot it add /Report option to the CeAppMgr
command line
 
Thanks Alex, sorted it shortly after posting it...

i wasn't actually adding the ini file to the project and therefore it wasn't
being embedded in the msi.

Thanks!
