I have created a smart device cab project in VS 2005 and noticed the
cab file only installs on devices with ARM processors, our target
device is going to be an X86 device. I do not see any place to change
the target device in the properties or configuration manager, I do
remember in VS 2003 you can change the target processor in the .bat
file.

any direction would be great.

regards,
Jay
 
In a C# application you can change the target platform under the project
porperties, Build tab, Platform target drop down. In C++ you can change the
platform under Project Properties, Configuration Properties, Advanced, Target
machine selection. I hope this helps.

I do have my target platform set correctly, I do not thing that is the
issue. when the install cab file is generated it is not compatable
with the X86 processor. in VS 2003 you could define the target CPU in
the *.bat file that kicked off the cab creation process.

Found the solution.
if you do not compress the cab file in the deployment properties panel
it will install correctly.
