Here's a question that I bet has been asked no more than a few hundred
thousand times before - How does one create a setup project that can be used
to deploy an application from a web page? I actually figured out how to do
this back in 2003, wrote the steps up and posted them on my web site, but
things have, I assume, changed and what was appropriate in the olden days is
no longer the best approach to take in VS05. Any help here would be
appreciated.
 
Hi Richard,

You can use VS2005 to create an .msi file, and put a link to this
file on your webpage.

Alternatively, you can use our app, PocketPC Installer..
drag'n'drop your .cab files into it, and it'll create both a standalone
PDA installer .exe file *and* a standalone Desktop installer file.

So, two types of installer .exe file, one which will run on your
PDA, one which'll run on your PC. Both contain all of your .cab
files and other files, all compressed within them. Just choose
which of the two is more useful, and ignore the other !

Both of them are in an ideal format to add to your website as
a download.
