Problems with the install process for a PPC under Visual Studio .NET 2003

This is the first time I have tried to create an install process for
the PPC.

I thought I followed all the steps documented in:
Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications - Ralph
Arevesen. - March 2003

But when I get to the end of the process and start the install, I
recieve the following message when the install process says to look at
the PPC for any further actions:

Application was not installed successfully. Please run Setup again.

Where Application is the name of the program I am trying to install.

The setup file looks like:

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = App

[App]
Description = Async Telnet client application.
CabFiles =
Async_client2_PPC.X86.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.ARM.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.ARMV4.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.MIPS.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.SH3.CAB,Async_client2_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB

Any thoughts on what could be wrong? I have a much more detailed
description of every step I took, but was unable to append it to this
message from Google Groups.

Thanks
 
You will have to remove the cabfiles that target the emulator
(Async_client2_PPC.X86.CAB & Async_client2_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB) from your setup
file.
When you do that, the installer will work just fine.
 
It seems that you encountered with the error in the AfterInstall event.
Review you post installation code. Also I recomend you to write small
application, reproduce all steps that you have done before may be it
will help you to recognize an error.

If you would like I can send you a small example.
