Dear Friends,

I have been searching all day for a way to create a setup file for my
Windows CE application which I developed on VS.NET 2003. I have been able to
deploy my app using CAB files only, I am looking for a way to create a setup
file or at least have a setup file to install the CAB files. Any advice is
valuable . Thank you!

Sincerely,
Al
 
Briefly you should create Custom Installer project that will execute in
the Custom Action (Install and Uninstall) the CeAppMgr with specific
..ini file for your cab:

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = MyProject

[MyProject]
Description = Project.
CabFiles = MyProject_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
