Hi all

My target device will have a folder (external memory card) named "SDMMC
Disk". Can I specify that I want my application installed into a folder on
that disk rather than in the Program Files folder?

(VS2005 CF2)


Thanks

Pete

I have tried adding a custom folder but I cannot see where I specify its
path. Or maybe I can somehow set the path for the Application Folder?


Thanks

No. It's one of my gripes about the Studio "CAB File" wizard. You can't
install on anotehr card. I ended up writing my own INF file and calling
cabwiz manually.

It's pretty painless for me as we have INFO files for lots of stuff already
and a batch-file system for generating CABs.
 
Ah damn

I created a file called "SDMMC Disk" and it now installs onto the secondary
card but I cannot specify a subfolder. What are the steps involved in
changing this, and would it mean that I can no longer use my installation
project?

Correct. We use a batch file and a hand-written INF file. We still use
Studio for the MSI, but the CAB project still just doesn't fit our needs.
