Edgar T. I just recently went through this exercise. First of all, the PackageBuilder creates a .psi file from a XML-based file you create (the .psml file). The .psi file REQUIRES PSISetup to be installed on your customer's computer. However, nowhere could I find any info on whether or not you are allowed to distribute the PSISetup file. It looks like PalmSource wants the user to download from their site only. It's probably good for over-the-air installs but other than that...
Your best bet is NSIS - an open source windows installer. It's scriptable and even includes an example for calling HotSync from the installer. It's what I plan to use. I can show you my script if you need help. -Cory -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
