Hi, I have built an application that requires .NET CF 2.0. How can include it
in the installer. I am able to create an installer for my application but do
not know how to add .NET CF 2.0 MSI into the setup. Any idea? If i need to
modify my setup.ini file, please show me how or what code i need to add in.

Thank you.
 
You can install NETCF exactly the same way as your application.

If you using AS CeAppMgr.exe you don't need to modify INI, you need to add
another one for NETCF and launch CeAppMgr.exe the same way as you do with
your application.

Here's what you can do:



1. Make a copy of existing INI and name it NETCFV2.INI.

2. Open this copy with notepad or any other text editor.

3. Change application name and CAB files list to NETCF name and CABs.

4. Save INI file.

5. Include this INI and NETCF CABs into your MSI.

6. Invoke INI the same way as you do with another INI.



INI file is very simple and described here:

NETCF CABs are described here:

You can include only CABs for devices your application supports to save
space.
