Is it possible to install sp2 without a PC & Activesync?
I would like to deliver the compact framework service
pack 2 on flashcard, is this possbile? Pocketpc doesnt
appear to be able to execute a msi-file.
 
If you download the developer install of the SP2 package (as opposed to the
end-user package), it will install a selection of cab files for each
device/cpu type to a folder on your PC in Program Files. You can then place
the specific version required onto an SD card for installation. If you make
the file Read-Only before you copy it to the card then it will not be
removed once installation is completed.

Hi,

You can also use AutoRun feature and automate installation of cab file when
the storage card is inserted. The following MSDN article describes this
feature.

You can find related articles with "Autorun storage CE" keywords in MSDN.
