Hi,

I'm stuck with a problem.

My device ROM has inbuilt support for .Net CF, so no need to package
the .NET CF files, but I want to package the sqlce.ppc3.arm cab file
with my application cab. How do I merge both the cabs into one single
cab which I can install on the device at one go? Any thoughts or
suggestions..

Warm Regards,
Dilip
 
I doubt the device has SP3 in ROM, so you should probably distribute that as
well.

At any rate, the answer is to unpack the existing CAB, remove it's files and
registry entries, and then add them to your own.

Thanks Chris for the immediate response.

1. I believe you are talking about CF SP3 . Rite? How do we check that
on device?

2. Unpacking the CAB, removing files and registry entries -> How is
this done? I mean you have to do it manually or via program if program
then how to go about it? Cant we achieve the same by modifying the inf
file or something? I tried the msi installer but there too, im not able
to add sqlce cab with existing package.

Please let me know your suggestions.

Regards
Dilip
 
Daniel,

Thanks for the link. Can anyone throw some light on the second question
of mine?

CHris,

Somewhere in this forum, I have seen your post saying that you can just
extract the contents from 2 cab files and make it to one. How do you do
it? It would be great if you can explain it in detail. Thanks in
advance for your time.

CHeers,
