Pocket PC Installation

[VBMaster]

I searched the forum for "windows ce" and "pocket". Found nothing. Any future developments for including Pocket PC installs?

Yes, currently Windows CE isn't an officially supported platform. From what I know, there aren't any immediate plans of supporting it, however that's not to say that in the future the developers won't decide to add it's support. All I can really say is....we'll see.

If you create CE CAB and INI files, you can install them from within Setup Factory. For one of my apps, we install both a Win32 app and a PocketPC app in the same setup program. Here's the pseudo code.

---------------------

1. %CEAppMgr% = HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\CEAPPMGR.EXE

2. %ActiveSync% = ParsePath(%CEAppMgr%)

3. Install the INI and CAB file to %ActiveSync%\AppName folder

4. Execute %CEAppMgr% with "%ActiveSync%\AppName\App.ini" as the argument.

The quotes in step four are required.
