Launching cab file from Visual C++ dll


Does anybody know how to launch a cab file from a Visual C++ dll thats being used as a setup dll when installing an application on windows mobile. Basically, I need the dll to detect if compact framework is not installed and run required cab file if needed.

I've beeg googling for something similar for ages with no luck. Surely this has been done and there are some examples out there. Your help is very very very much appreciated. Tony


Solution

  • If your talking about windows mobile cab file then Ants answer is incorrect.

    You need to run the wceload.exe tool to start a install of a windows mobile cab file on the WM device.
