Hi,

is it possible to directly generate a .cab installation file for Windows
Mobile Devices out of Visual Studio? I am thinking of something like the
"Publish" Button for .NET Projects, just for .NET-CF.

Can anybody help me?

And the surprising thing is that it works!!!! I have now used it on 2
projects and it works great. For bundling files and creating shortcuts
it works great and it is nice to use it right inside VS.

Of course, if you need to do something complicated you might find it
lacking. If you need more control (like running code before and after
cab install) check out the product from http://www.opennetcf.com/.
They provide basically a VS2008 project that allows you to build a
highly customized installer.
