Hello
I'm new to C++.
I am trying to create a setup.dll in VS 2005. The samples in the SDK didnt
work for me:
=> removed the CAB-Project in it, then tried to build the DLL, I got:
1>------ Skipped Build: Project: SetupDLL ------
1>
========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 1 skipped ==========
I dont know why, tried from Smartphone WM 5 and PPC WM 5... the same...
So I have created an own project:
1. New Project = > Visual C++ => Smart Device => MFC Smart Device DLL
2. then I proceed like this here:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/setupdll.html
3. I added in the codeINSTALL_EXIT-Section:
between AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
and
return codeINSTALL_EXIT_DONE;
the following:
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = ;
CreateProcess(TEXT("\My Documents\myapp.exe"), TEXT(""), NULL, NULL,
NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &pi);
This is working! But: The DLL is 361KB big (!)
Why is this? What have I done wrong?
Thanks
James

The last is likely becuae it's bringing in MFC, which you have no need for -
don't use it.

Please log in for more thread options Hi James,
As Chris mentioned, the filesize got big coz the project uses MFC. If you
statically link MFC it might even be bigger. I found another step by step
example for creating a CE Setup DLL that just uses pure Win32
Here's the link:

Please log in for more thread options Hi
If I turn off Static Linked (set to dynamic), I can build it. but when I
create the cab and install it, it just says "cannot install"....
If I have static linked, it is working (but is big)
I will try your link although it seems to be quite a lot to do for a total
new-to-C++...
Thanks
