Hi again group,

Thanks very much for you help during my first CE project. It is
appreciated!

Now that I'm wrapping up my project, I'd like to get some tips on deployment
packaging. I'm coming from a web development point of view, so this is new
to me. My app uses the compact framework and also the OpenNetCF library.
This dll gets copied fine to the installation folder.

The main issue I have is that I wanted to use subfolders of the project,
such as /images, /sounds, etc. I created empty projects in the solution
that deployed to these folders since all files in a project get copied to
the same folder, however, I needed to create an empty EXE in each dummy
project as each was expecting a sub main (not desireable, obviously).

So, there's obviously a correct way to deploy these folders, and to create
an installation package that checks for the compact framework, etc. Any
tips for how to set this up?

Thanks,
Brian
 
Actually, after messing around and looking into the folders question which
has come up before, it seems editing the INF is the way to go for deploying
items such as images, etc. Is there any example of how to edit the INF to
simply move each BMP/JPG into an /images folder?
