Greetings!

Does anybody know the InstallSheild equivalent for PocketPC2002?

What I really need to know how to do is install an application w/ a shortcut & icon the Start/Programs menu.


I've read the .cab documentation w/ the help, but it doesn't go into too much detail on how to drill down to InstallShield capability.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Yes, there is an installshield for you Pocket PC. But as far as I know it is not free and was not as powerful as I needed. If you desire to write your own installation routine. You can use RAPI to copy the files between your PC and your Pocket PC and run addittional installation programs, etc. That is what I have done, several times. You can see a RAPI example here:
