Having successfully created a CAB file that I can copy to the device and tap-to-install, how do I now create a Windows (non-PPC) application that will run, and install the program on the PocketPC through ActiveSync the next time it's placed in the docking cradle
If anyone has installed the Adobe Acrobat Reader for PPC, thats the type of install I want to do.
I'm forced to assume that the end user for the application I'm developing has almost-zero PC or PPC skills, and need to accomodate that user base, so copying a file to the device, then locating that file on the device, and tapping the CAB to install is not going to be something that they'll do..
Thanks

An additional note, if you are not using VS2005 as referenced in Ilya's post, you can check out this free tool that is also good for creating the desktop side of the install experience: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/ezsetup/ en
