Hello,

How to create a Desktop installer which will automatically use CeAppMgr.exe without using any third party software. Is there a walkthrough for this? Please help...

Hi,
Try this - should do what you want.

I use the excellent PocketPCInstaller reviewed on our home page

Hi,
sorry - don't know as I use a 3rd party.

I seem to remember when I used the setup project, I just added the cab files as dependencies

Just tried PocketPCInstaller and it put all the files in the app directory (exe files and all the dll's).

Is that normal?

Yes - although you can change the path if you like.

If the dll's are with your exe, you get no version problems
