CabWiz
|
From: jp2msft on 11 Apr 2008 09:42 Does anyone have good instructions for configuring a CabWiz INI file? I used CabWiz once before, and it took me a long time to get the INI file to work. Now, a couple of years later, I need to do it again, and I'd rather not spend all that time banging my head against the wall with CabWiz. I just need an installer that registers my "single exe" program with Add/Remove Programs, drops a shortcut onto the PPC desktop, and adds the program to the Start menu. Thanks!
From: dbgrick on 11 Apr 2008 10:12 I usually start by creating a Visual Studios 2005 cab setup project. Add my files, links, etc and build it. The resultant output directory will have the cab file, but also the inf file. This inf file should be close to what you want. You can then customize that inf file. Regards, Rick D.

From: jp2msft on 11 Apr 2008 12:48 INF file. Thanks! I would have been wondering why my INI file wasn't working. I'll give VS2005 a go. I've done a few (maybe 2) Setup Projects using VS, but I've never tried creating one for a "Smart Device". I've picked: "Other Project Types >" "Setup and Deployment >" "Smart Device CAB Project" I notice there is also a "Setup Wizard" in the same folder, but I'd bet it excludes Smart Devices.
