Guest mgama Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) I wrote a installer that did all that a few months back. Basically you need to create your CAB installer (documentation for that is in MSDN I believe). Then you need to create a installation application for the desktop computer that will install the CAB file to the desktop computer. Once that is done it will need to call ActiveSync with some command line parameters pointing it to the CAB that you want to install on the phone, and then that is about it. The whole process is pretty straight forward. I did this a few months ago just to learn how. I think it took me 3 or 4 hours total. But my day job is writing setup/installers, so it might take someone else longer. I used VS.NET 2003's setup projects, but you could use any of the other free seutp authoring tools. www.installsite.org is a good setup resource. Edited February 4, 2005 by mgama
