How to launch another Setup or CAB file on the Pocket PC Device using Windows CE Object.

I need to install .NET Compact Framework on the Pocket PC Device from my install. The way I'm doing now is deploying .NET Cab files to the Pocket PC Device \Windows\Startmenu folder. Later user taps on these .CAB file to install the .NET Compact framework.

Is there any way can I launch these .CAB files automatically after deploying them.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I am not aware of any method to launch the cab file on the device after it is installed through ActiveSync.

The correct procedure for doing that is installing .Net CF cab in addition to your application's cab files through ActiveSync.

We are working on a feature to install .Net CF before the actual application files are installed are installd on the device. If you want to do this yourself, I suggest writing the AppManager's ini file and deploying that on the desktop in addition to the .Net CF cab file. Launch CEAppMgr.exe through a custom action and pass the ini file location to it as a command line parameter.
