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?

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....

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
