I read the popular MSDN article about creating an MSI file
for installation/distribution via ActiveSync. I have been
successful in creating an MSI file. When I install the
file - the CABs are copied to my PC - and CEAPPMGR.EXE
launches - displaying the programs loaded on my Pocket
PC. However - I'm never prompted to add the new program.
It does not appear on the list of programs to install.

I think it has something to do with the setup.ini file -
although I feel that I've looked over that in detail.

Any suggestions why CDAPPMGR lauches but does not install
my file/application/cab?

thanks.
 
Do you mean: Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications

It assumes that Setup.ini resides in the same folder as the DLL and CAB
files. Beside this you A) have to close ceappmgr.exe before, B)
setup.ini its path must exist and C) select Release Configuration from
within the VS-IDE.



You may debug it with the following settings (InstallerComponent:

External Program is
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\InstallUtil.exe

Arguments: CustomInstaller.dll

Working folder is ....\Source\VB\CustomInstaller\obj\Debug
