  Hi,

  I've sucessfully installed the application from desktop.

  Two more things i want to know

  1) Actually I've added icon in the setup project by selecting Addremoveicon property. But it has not been displayed on PPC.

  2)i want to have installation package on PPC storage card. is it possible to have .msi in storage card (hope cannot. it's for desktop deployment).

  then how to install from Storage card

  Thank You!

  Hi,

  Right click your project and click Build cab file.Copy your PPC processor based CAB file to storage card.(Commonly ARM) from cab folder.Check icon of your application.exe in desktop.Is it look like default icon or it looks like the icon that you selected.

  Hi,

  Since ur PPC have Intel Xscale Processor use ARM cab File.

  X86 CAB file is for emulator.So use MyApps_PPC.ARM.CAB

  sqlce.ppc3.arm.cab is a cab file for Sql Server CE.Are you using Sql CE database for your application

  Hi Senthil,

  Luckily i got that website when i searched in google. Useful link.

  http://www.codeproject.com/netcf/PackagingAndDeployingPPC.asp - good article

  I'm deploying VB.NET Project. So i've used two solutions and added "Pre_build " Project. (I downloaded sample from the same site).

  Now my pbm is getting an error when i build the solution.

  Error staes that "Error Spawing ' ' "  in Pre_build Project.

  I don't understand how to handle this pbm

  As well as  Build order must be

  PreBuild

  CustomInstaller

  Setup.

  But mine is in reverse order. how to change the Build order.

  Any ideas

  Thank You!

  Hi,

  The icon should be added in your application.exe.That is go to properties of your Project--->Common Properties--->Build.Change the application icon.Build the cab file again and prepare setup file.

  In order to install from storage card just copy the application CAB file to storage card

  and click it.Wceload.exe automatically installs it.

  Regards,

  Senthil.

  Hi,

  Ya. i got the icon.

  My PPC is DELL AXIM X3 

  In the System Spec: I've seen processor type is Intel XScale.

  When i deploy the project ,it's asking for sqlce.ppc3.arm.cab.

  Where can i get it from.

  I just followed the steps given in that article. Is there any other way of doing deployment (without creating .msi)

  Can i copy and paste cab file on PPC

  Sorry for asking stupid questions. but i want to know it.

  Thank U!

  Hi,

  As u said, i added icon. still not displayed.

  What do u meant by building CAB file . I rebuild the application and setup installer.

  Is it wrong .

  Application CAB means is it ApplicationnameX86.cab (as well the processor is X86)

  Thank U!
