I am writing application for Windows Mobile 6.5, and for application to run, I have to install sqlce.wce5.armv4i.cab and NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab files on the end device.
Is there someway that I can combine and bundle those two cabinet files together with my application cabinet file? I want to create a single install process, which would install each file sequentially one after another (when I start bundled cabinet file)?
Is it possible? Or what is the easier solution to create more automated installation of required packages (such as for SQL Server CE)?
-- I am able to create cab file with other two cab files in it, but how can I make them execute right after I finish installing cab file that contains them? Right now it just extract them.
If I am right you are looking for Multicab Installation.
WM already comes with an example on this. Here is a reference.
The sample can be found on your PC at C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK\Samples\Common\CPP\Win32\multicabinstall
