Hi,

I'm trying to port my app from a WM2003 device to WM5. When I am
installing my cab files on the
WM5 device, I am being prompted to, "Choose a location to install <cab
name>", with options for
"Device", "\SD Card", and "\Flash File Store".

How do I get the cab files to tell the installer that I don't want to
be prompted, that I know the destination location. The
DestinationDirs are set in the inf file that created the cab files.

My hardware is Intermec 761 (old) and the Intermec CN3 (new), if that
makes any difference.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Carlos

I think you don't , that all CABs do prompt since users would like to decide
where they are installing the application.

I can say for myself that I don't purchase anymore any application that
forces me to install it in the main memory (unless it is an utility and I
see a good reason for that), and I hope others are doing it as well.

Anyway, if you want to get a better answer for that, you'd probably have to
ask the guys in microsoft.public.pocketpc.developer .

If your setup inf file has InstallDir=.. in the [CEStrings] section
then try to remove it (InstallDir).
