Creating cabfiles...

[Guest MoRFLeZ]

I've nosed around and found some sites and some tips and tricks.

Mostly just copying other peoples work :oops: and then altering it to fit my needs.

Basically I just want to be able to do something really simple, create a cabfile for eg Invasion.exe - (so it can be downloaded from the net and installed right away). Now I've actually managed to make a cab file, but even tho I tell my SPV to install it on my Storage Card, it installs on the Phone, so I must have messed up in the .inf file

[Version] 

Signature = "$Windows NT$"  

Provider = "Orange"  

CESignature = "$Windows CE$"  

[CEStrings]  

AppName = "Invasion"  

[CEDevice.ARM720]  

ProcessorType = 0  

[DefaultInstall]  

CEShortcuts = Shortcuts.All  

[sourceDisksNames]  

1 = ,"Common files",,  

[sourceDisksFiles]  

Invasion.exe = 1  

[CEStrings]  

AppName = Invasion

InstallDir = %CE1%games%AppName%  

[shortcuts.All]  

Invasion,0,Invasion.exe  

[DefaultInstall]  

CopyFiles = CopyToHomeDir  

[DestinationDirs]  

CopyToHomeDir = 0,%CE1%%AppName%  

Shortcuts.All = 0,IPSMWindowsStart MenuGames  

[CopyToHomeDir]  

"Invasion.exe",Invasion.exe

Any suggestions? :?

Okay so I fooled around a bit with the DefaultInstall, which seems to be the problem, doing it like this:

[DefaultInstall] 

CopyFiles = CopyToHomeDir  

[DestinationDirs]  

CopyToHomeDir = 35#,Storage CardProgram FilesInvasion

CopyToHomeDirsc = 35#,IPSMWindowsStart Menugames  

"Solves" my problem, as it will install the program on my Storage Card, but then I can't install on the phone *duh*

[DestinationDirs]

CopyToHomeDir = 0,%CE1%%AppName%

I think %CE1% means IPSM, so if I figure it right you need to add an extra option, ie:

[DestinationDirs]

CopyToHomeDir = 0,%CE1%%AppName%

CopyToHomeDir = 1,%CE2%%AppName%

Not sure though, check MSDN site for more info
