Hi,
I've been searching all over the place to solve this problem, which I wanted to deploy files into the external memory card (Compact Flash or Secure Digital) as the default location, instead of clicking "No" when deploying and select the location.
I'm using VS.Net 2005 and the Smart Device CAB Project does not have the external memory card folder. I couldn't find any results searching the net for over 2 days. :(
I hope someone can help me! Thanks!
Don.

The only way to do it is to set default installation path to hard coded storage card path. That is, however, bad idea as card names can vary and devices can have several cards or no card at all.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Looks like I have no other choices! :(

That's in line with desktop installers - I've never seen any desktop application which would install to removable drive by default.
Note you can add setup dll into your cab and check if installation path is set to storage card. If not, you can pop up a warning and terminate.

That scenario was discussed here:

Thanks! I'll give that a try. My app will be deployed into the device memory, and the database, which is too huge, to be deployed into the memory card.
