Hi,
I am writing an application for PPC that will need to be
distributed remotely. My users have wireless Symbol
scanners running Pocket PC 2003.

I create the CAB files in .NET and have placed them on a
web site. The problem is that when surfing to them with
Internet Explorer from the pocket pc devices, they are
opened as 'web pages' with garbled text, instead of being
downloaded as files which can be installed.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
dave
 
You need to make sure that the MIME type for CAB files is set correctly on
your web server. It should be something like application/x-msdownload
