application on a connected Device?

Check out ActiveSync Application Manager. If you have a copy of the .NET
Compact Framework Core Reference (Wigley and Wheelright) there is a sample
of this in Chapter 6.

One way to deploy your installation files is OTA or Over
The Air. Place your .cab files on a webserver and have
the user navigate to your website via Pocket IE. Once
there provide a link for each of the cab files. They
will have the option of saving them to storage or
automatically installing them. I have used this method
in the past with great results.

Good luck,

JC
