Package: pocketpc-sdk Version: 1.0.0-2 Submitter: Rouven Schürch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tags: patch
Hello Shaun we have been using your script 'pocketpc-cab' for creating an installable cab for an application of ours. Recently, after having bought a newer PDA with WIN CE 5 installed, the CABs failed installing ... I spent a few hours tracking down why these CABs no longer installed (byte by byte analysis of the Manifest file of the CAB with a working CAB built for WIN CE 5) just to find out that the pocketpc-cab script packages the files in the 'wrong' order into the archive. I cite the 'wince_cab_format.html' in the pocketpc-cab package: "The order of these files within the cab file is important. The first file in the cabinet should be the ".000" file. It should then be followed by all other files in descending numerical order of their extensions." ;) The patch included with this email should fix this minor inconvenience and make it possible to create CABs for the latest WIN CE Version (adjusted the Version info as well). If you find this information useful, please do whatever you think fits best. Ah yes, and thanks for your script, we're glad it exists and use it very often!
