Hi,

I have created an installer MSI for a Pocket PC device according to this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446504.aspx
But I would also like to be able to detect and if needed, install the
correct/newest version of CF2 from my MSI. Does anyone have a decription on
how to do that?

Thanks,
Ole

Unfortunately, this procedure is not as simple as it could be. Jim
Wilson provides a sample application that installs multiple CABs in his
blog post at
http://www.pluralsight.com/blogs/jimw/archive/2006/07/31/32713.aspx.
Look for the "Installation Program Example" link. The sample code does
not cover detecting the CF version, but here's a resource for that:
