Installing via CompactFlash Card

[Guest]

Hi

2 questions:

I'd like to deploy my Compact Framework via compact Framework, and I'm having problems finding much documentation on this. If someone could point me in a direction, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if I deploy, for example, using a 64 MB card, can that card be "split" to add 32 to storage and 32 to programs, like the base memory can?

Thanks

KP

You can create an Autorun.exe program on the card in a processor specific
folder. For ARM powered devices this would be \2577\
There is a QA on the subject here. Generally you should write such an
installer in native code if it may be run on devices which don't have the
..NETCF installed. But if your target devices are Pocket PC 2003 then you
could use a managed exe.

This is called with the command line argument "install" or "uninstall" to
indicate when the card is installed or removed.

You can't use the storage card for program memory - it is always a separate
file store for storage only.

Hi Peter,

Where can I find info of the autorun feature. I had no idea this exist and
I was in big need of it.

Thanks in advance,
