I am looking for recommendations on the best installation packages everyone
likes right now. I have a PocketPC application for which I want to build a
install solution. I have tried many trial versions of various products, and
have tried using the deployment solution built-in to Visual Studio .NET 2003.
I have yet to find one that works well.
I want something simple to use, that will build a smart install in which I
can include all the processor-specific .CAB files, and the install will
install the right version on the PocketPC device. I have yet to find
something that "fits the bill". What does everyone else use for this right
now?
- Thanks,

this is a good start: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...deployment.asp
however, i'd put the shell code in a seperate project - one that can be run
over and over again independent of running setup. reason being, your pc
could/should be used as a deployment center if installation is going to
occur for many devices. you really don't want to setup the pc again, just
shell out the cab info to the win ce app manager.
but that's my 0.02 usd.

Good Afternoon,
I need to distribute an application which includes the run time files for
Access 2002. I do have the Office XP Developer CD’s. The application itself
is written in VB 6 with an Access back-end. I have created a number of
reports in Access and I am starting them from the Visual Basic Front End.
However, I have a number of users who do not have a copy of Access which
means they will obviously need the run time files.

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
