The article describes how to create an MSI to install CAB files on an
ActiveSync connected device using CEAppMgr (comes with Activesync). To do
this, you must create two new projects as outlined in the article. The
first is a setup project, the output of which will be an .MSI file that can
be run on the desktop. The second project is a class library which will
produce a DLL. The MSI will load the DLL and call functions within it when
the .MSI is run. The DLL, in turn, will Call CEAppMgr to install CAB
files. An .INI file that you write specifies which CAB files will be
installed by CEAppMgr, and for which platforms.
The "magic" button to create CAB files from within a Smart Device
application is the yellow filing-cabinet button on the toolbar. You can
access the same command through The Build->Build CAB File.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more assistance.
