NET Compact Framework - CAB auto update on Windows Mobile 6.5?

It is not really responding to your question but you can do the following.

It is not really responding to your question but you can do the following : launch another (small) executable showing a "Update in progress" screen. Do your stuff behind the scene end of setup => it starts your updated app Wait a little bit => it closes itself and the updated app is ready to use.

CAB installation and WCELOAD are limited in many ways. You're after some sort of UI that tells the user that things are in progress and you're wanting to conditionally install certain pieces of a CAB and that simply isn't achievable with wceload out of the box. You might be able to hack some of this together with a custom setup DLL, but I think the "conditional install pieces" is going to still be the show stopper.

One alternative is to not use wceload, but instead create your own CAB extraction tool. You could then do all of your own UI and custom logic based on the file name, etc. I put together an SDK and sample installer several years ago that would allow this - admittely it's not free, but the lowest cost option is only $5 so it's pretty close. Newer CABs actually contain an XML doc that describes the install actions (in addition to the older .000 binary file descriptor that the SDK I wrote decodes), so it's also possible that you could do all of the extraction just using that and save the $5.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
