Problem realted to creating msi for the project

• PsyCadelik

  We have created a Pocket PC application in VB.Net on Compact Framework 2.0.

  I tried creating an Installer for my project (MyPocketPC) by following the steps outlined in the below link:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/deploy_cf2_apps_cab_msi.asp

  I faced a few stumbling blocks…

  The Installer installs all the files (exe, dlls , images, text files ) under “MyDevice/ProgramFiles/ MyPocketPC “ folder.

  Also, the icon associated with the .exe file is the default icon. I tried using a new “.ico” file but it did not reflect in the device.

  Our requirements :

  1) The exe file alone should be present in the Programs folder.

  2) We should be able to provide the image for the icon that shows up in the Programs folder.

  The walkthrough left out a couple of small steps. You must look closely at the pictures to realize that they created folders that they didnt tell you about in the text. In your file system editor, there is a program files folder. whatever you put in that folder will show up in the programs folder.
