Including .net cf 2.0 with Custom Installer

Having a problem installing the .net cf 2.0 along with my PPC application.

I have 2 setup.ini files, Setup.ini and Setup2.ini. The following is what
they look like :

SETUP.INI

[ceAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = QuantifiSetup

[QuantifiSetup]
Description = Quantifi
Uninstall = Quantifi
CabFiles = QuantifiSetup.cab

SETUP2.INI

[ceAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = DotNet20

[DotNet20]
Description = DotNet20
Uninstall = DotNet20
CabFiles = NETCFv2.ppc.armv4


I have the following code executing the CustomInstaller.dll that I thought
would run the cabs:

Dim iniPath As String = GetIniPath()
Process.Start(ceAppPath, iniPath)

Dim ini2Path As String = GetIni2Path()
Process.Start(ceAppPath, ini2Path)


What happens is this :

The PPC application file gets copied and run on the device. I see a shortcut
generated also.. But the .net cf 2.0 cab copies over, but does not run on the
device.

Do I have the Custom Installer set up right? Can anyone please help?

Thanks
 
You might want to wait for the first installation to complete before
starting next one.

Or register all INIs and then install, see MSDN on how to do it.

Also your Uninstall entry seems to be invalid and probably won't work.
