I thought I could install my application and the CF framework like this, but
that didn't work:

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = GTX GPS

[GTX GPS]
Description = GPS Tracking
CabFiles = GTX.cab,NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab

Do I have to do this twice? Once for me application and once for CF 2.0?

Thanks,

Eric Renken

A CAB cannot install anotehr CAB. You must deploy them separately.

CABs listed in the INI are of the same application, just for different
platforms. Only one of them would be deployed.

You need to deploy two different applications - yours and NETCF, so you need
two INIs.

You need to write a custom setup.dll -- do a CreateProcess on WCELoad.exe to
load the CAB.

Thanks to everyone. I thought that is what I needed to do, but was just
hoping.
