a deployment question :)

Our application has some configuration values (server IP and server port).

Until now, those parameters were set in the cab project that wrapped the exe with other resources.

The process above was done by a programmer, but now we want to give this task to a non-programmer (which means that he/she doesn’t have VS installed on his/her machine). Is there a nice & clean way to make a CAB without the need to install VS (just to make the cab project..)

    You can download it separately. Check the SDK folder.

    Manav

    If you're using cabwiz.exe that ships with VS 2005 than you don't need anything else to create a CAB for your SP or PPC.

    You can use cabwiz.exe to create a CAB file for your PPC devices. See MSDN article here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa458948.aspx

    But that requires installing VS 2005 (a bit of an overkill for someone who does not intend on doing any development...).
