I'm trying to create a .MSI file for the first time. I'm using VS.NET
2003. I've gone through the great article at
http://www.codeproject.com/netcf/PackagingAndDeployingPPC.asp
and another one at codeproject related to adding SqlCE to your project,
since I needed to do that. I've read through several threads in the
discussions related to both of these articles about .ini files, and I'm
still getting the "invalid setup file" message from CeAppMgr. I'm
running CeAppMgr from the command line, from the directory where the
cab files are.
Here's my .ini file :
[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = MyProject
[MyProject]
Description = A Test Project.
CabFiles =
WDI_PPC.ARM.CAB,WDI_PPC.ARMV4.CAB,WDI_PPC.MIPS.CAB,WDI_PPC.SH3.CAB,WDI_PPC.WCE420X86.CAB,WDI_PPC.X86.CAB
I've tried all kinds of things; I tried cutting out all the cab files
except the first one, because one post said that the ARM cab will cover
95% of the devices, and because sometimes there is an issue with the
line length. I changed the name of my cab files, because one thread
said that the 'Foo' part of the cab names 'Foo.ARM.CAB' has to be < 8
chars. The original article said there can't be any new lines between
the [MyProject] section definition and the Description = key line,
although this is confusing because all the samples I've seen look like
there is a new line there. I tried it w/out it anyway and that didn't
work either.
Please help. I've been working on this for hours and am going nuts
