Implementing BuildMax in cab file.

Hello,

Issue is how to implement the BuildMax property with the Smart Device Cab Project.

I've read the white papers http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/screen_orientation_awareness.asp indicating how to implement the BuildMax property. However when I edit .inf file related to the cab file created with the Smart Device Cab Project, I still receiving the following message after installation on a Pocket PC 2003 OS.

The Program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.

It appears the Smart Device Cab Project must enter the BuildMax value into the cab file. Therefore is there a area in the Smart Device Cab Project the BuildMax value can be set. Or is there another way to implement the BuildMax value properly.

Here is the portion of the .inf file I'm editing to set the BuildMax property.


[CEDevice]
VersionMin=3.00
VersionMax=5.99
BuildMax=0xE0000000


Regards,

Peter

    Hi, What version of VS 2005 do you have I was looking at the internal bug database and we had fixed this issue in July this year (should be in the latest RC)


    I will also talk to the developer about this.

    Thanks

    Hi Peter,

    In the latest RC, we set the BuildMax value to 0xE0000000 by default.  We don't allow modification of this value from within the IDE.  If you need to utilize any of the other BuildMax values, you'll have to do it manually by running CABWiz.
