If you want to create a CAB file deployment you have to go

File > Add > New Project > Other Project Types > Smart Device CAB Project

Then create your application including the primary output from your existing application.

OR

If you just want to stick this on one device you can deploy it directly to the device like you would on the emulator, you just select "Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Device" from the dropdown that probably reads "Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Emulator" make sure your device is connected to the PC via active sync and then click play.. you can push a debug build of your app out to the device like that.

Hi,

You can use Microsoft ActiveSync to upload/transfer the .CAB file or .EXE file from PC to your mobile.
