Subject: [nsbasic-ce] e-PocketSetup alternatives

 

Now that e-PocketSetup is gone, some sort of alternative is needed.

We have always used Microsoft's tools for this ourselves, as described
in this Tech Note:
<http://www.nsbasic. <http://www.nsbasic.com/ce/info/technotes/TN30.htm>
com/ce/info/technotes/TN30.htm>

You create a .inf file that contains all the information about your
project. Microsoft's CabWiz.exe program processes that to make one or
more CAB files. EZSetup is then used to wrap the CAB files into a
compressed exe.

Once you get it set up, it an easy to use and powerful method. However,
editing the .inf file isn't the easiest thing: there are many options,
and the documentation isn't great. Also, CabWiz.exe is only available as
part of Microsoft's Windows Mobile SDK, which is a big download. 

Side Note: e-PocketSetup installs CabWiz.exe. I wonder if Microsoft has
given permission for this?

I think it would not be too hard to create a front end to edit the .inf
files, especially if you wanted to make something for just NS Basic
users. We don't have time right now ourselves to devote to this, but I
will be happy to share all I know about how .inf files work with anyone
who is interested. It might make a nice collaborative project for the group.
