Hi all,
Since this question is purely regarding desktop development, this might not be the
correct place to ask it - so if not, please direct me to the correct forum;
I want to make my desktop application install a list of palm programs using the usual
instapp.exe - so if I run:
C:\Program Files\Palm\instapp.exe "C:\Palm Programs\My App.prc",
then the user has to click on 'OK' twice (or even three times if there are multiple
users
on the computer) for each program to be installed. How do I specify the HotSync name,
and skip the confirmation screens? While trying it out on my own, I noticed that if I
move a file to the install directory (eg "C:\Program Files\Palm\ChaikiM\install\") and
then HotSync, nothing is installed; but then if I properly install another program and
then
HotSync; both are installed. Is this a possible way, will it cause any problems, and
is
there a better way without even having to confirm the last one?
I also want to be able to read the list of Palm users on the computer (and their
respective directories); it seems that this information is contained in "users.dat".
Where
would I find a VB6 sample to input this information?
Finally, I would want my program displayed as an addin to the Palm Desktop
application, either as one of the buttons (under Memo Pad, Date Book, Install etc) or
in
the addins menu. How do I do this with Visual Basics 6, and using InstallShield?
Any tips or pointers to the right direction will be appreciated, considering I am
asking
some very general questions.
Many thanks,
Michoel Chaikin
