Install Diagnostics messages on WinCE

I've a Windows CE device on which I try to install all Exceptions message contained in the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab

My problem is, when double-clicking on the CAB File, I get the following error message :

The file "NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab" is not a valid Windows CE Setup file.

As anyone faced this message? How can I fix it and install this CAB?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Are you attempting to install this on a generic Windows CE (i.e. not WinMo/WEH) device? If so that could very well be the problem. Note that your CAB file has "wm" in in, indicating a Windows Mobile CAB.

    Instead, try the non WinMo version NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab (found on my machine at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v3.5\WindowsCE\Diagnostics).
