I'm using SQL CE 3.5 in a Windows Mobile 6 project. I've built a CAB
installer and then a project to install this CAB from a windows desktop
setup project.

However, the machines that this will be installed on may or may not have SQL
CE 3.5 installed. How do I include SQL CE as a part of the installation
process so that it is installed automatically if not present?

Many thanks for you help

Alan,

I just include the SqlCe DLLs along with my executables in my own CAB file.
 
Ginny,

Thanks for the advice.

I thought that different DLLs were needed depending on what processor was on
the WM6 device? How do you deal with this, or am I completely mistaken?

Thanks again

Alan
 
Alan,

All Windows Mobile devices use ARM processors. If you have some CE devices
you're supporting that might have a different architecture, that could
indeed be an issue for the unmanaged DLLs.
