Unless I am mistaken, you can get the version 3.xx hotsync manager to
install a PRC file by just copying the file to the <pilot
base>\<user>\install folder. The file is installed at the next hotsync.
You can get the <pilot base> path from the registry (under Windows). (I
think it is something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S.
Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core)
Getting the name of a user's folder is a little trickier. For an
inhouse util, I look at the file <pilot base>\users.dat to get the
default user name. I don't know if the format of this file is
documented or not. There might even be a conduit API to access the data
in it (I've never done a conduit).
Either way, conduit SDK or looking at the file directly, it would be
pretty easy to put this in a simple DLL to include with Installshield.
It is very easy to call a custom DLL during both install and uninstall.
Good Luck

Subject: Installers for Palm applications?
Hello -
Has anyone used any installers for installing both .prc files and
conduits?
I'm wondering how I could put together something InstallShield-like that
would run the Palm Install Tool (allow me to HotSync .prc on to the
device)
as well as register conduits for me.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben Flaumenhaft
