If you are running Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 using .NET Framework 1.1, then follow the instructions in the following URL:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838273.aspx

If you have upgraded to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 using .NET Framework 2.0, then the following may also be helpful as it describes more how to build the projects in Visual Studio 2005.

There doesn't appear to be any additional information available on Vista or Sync Center and how the rules change from XP and ActiveSync.

Not really because device might be disconnected while MSI is removed. It’s usually done all the way around – application is removed from device via AS’s CeAppMgr.exe which can remove MSI if you have that in the INI.

All files created by your application should be removed from device by your CAB file. To do so either add them to the CAB or remove them from CAB setup DLL.

Is there a way to initiate uninstall in pocket pc using .msi And delete all files as well such as log files, config files and directory of the application.

Typically you would need the following to be installed on device:
- .NET Compact Framework
- SQL Mobile
- Your project binaries i.e. DLL and/or EXE
- Your database file i.e. SDF file
If you're VS to test, VS 2005 will deploy & install the above for you and you can directly test/debug your application.

You can also create a setup project that will install the above. Setup is normally used when you're deploying your solution to multiple devices in a production environment and not during testing/development phase.
