create an installer for windows mobile


I have developed an application using J9 that runs in windows mobile. but now I want it to package in a single installer(.cab), that should copy the J9 files, my application and its dependencies to a folder in the mobile, and creates some shortcuts(.lnk) files. Any suggested tool that I can use to create the cab file?? Thanks!


Solution

  • One of the reasons I didn't want to go to the visual studio is because I mainly develop in linux. Never though there was a linux application to create .cab files, but there is one, it is called lcab, and the other is pocketpc-cab, I think the second uses the first one but Im not sure. Anyway I create my cab file using the second tool and tested in windows mobile and it works. I got all that I need it without having to install a whole SDK, and even better without changing to any other OS, I definitely have to love linux and its community.
