Guest Croccy22 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Can someone point me towards some information on how to create the installers for spv software?? thanx Matt
Guest gradiation Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 You'll need to download the SDk to get something called CabWizSP (in the tools director) then have a look at this page http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....screen.asp?_r=1 , it explains how to create a cab file to install a theme, but the ideas can be used to install pretty much everything
Guest Croccy22 Posted April 27, 2003 Report Posted April 27, 2003 Can someone give me an example of how to create a cab to install say: a.txt b.exe c.jpg into a folder on the phone. //storage card/program files/myapp/ Please??? Matt Ps. Oh yeah and how to create a shortcut to run b.exe aswell

Guest Croccy22 Posted May 17, 2003 Report Posted May 17, 2003 Thanx a lot! Next release will be able to make it look just that bit more proffesional :). Only one question, the %CE1% path. Where does that point to? is that program files??? Matt

Guest goonzo Posted June 4, 2003 Report Posted June 4, 2003 Ive followed these steps and after creating the cab file, i used EZSetup to create an install exe, but it doesnt work when i try to install... it says "invalid setup file". Is there a specific EzSetup for Smartphone?
Guest motbe Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 No, EzSetup isn't really specific for the SmartPhone, it's more just a "wrapper" that starts an Activesync installation. You should be able to use EzSetup to create an installer (after you've used CabwizSP to create your cab file), you just need to make sure you have a valid INI file for it. I created a setup for the Smartphone for PocketCandy, and then used my own version of EzSetup (I put a GUI interface on it to make creating the setup a more user friendly process). I've not heard any complaints about the installer running, so I'm assuming it's working fine.... Someday I need to upload my version of EzSetup to my site.. I will .. one day....
Guest goonzo Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 thx for all the help. it turned out i had made a typo in the -ini file.. now its just finetuning left... :lol:

Er they are the Pocket PC CEStrings :lol: so most of them aren't valid on the Smartphone. You can only use 1,2,4,5,11,14,17,18 and 19 :!: %CE18% is the default storage location, in our case IPSM %CE19% is Application Data
