How can you detect the Pocket PC version in the installation program.
Basically I have on setup program which installs .NET, SQL CE and our
application.

But if the version is PPC 2003, I do not want to call the routine to install
..NET CF, but if it is PPC 2002, I do want to install .NET CF.

Thanks
 
If you are using RAPI, then you can call CeGetVersionEx to determine the
device OS version. If you are using CeAppMgr.exe, then you would need to
restrict your .cab from installing by OS version in the .inf:

[CEDevice]
VersionMin = 3.000
VersionMax = 3.999

Using RAPI did work in my custom installer program. Thanks.

However changing the inf file did not work, because it is not the cab file
of my application which I do want to control when to install. Rather it is
the .NET framework which has the cab files alerady pre-built.
