Re: Overwrite exe silently

Thanks for the reply.

Currently, i'm downloading the file, and then on startup i'm running the cab.

So... as you suggest, i'm changing my code to something like this:

success = SHCreateShortcut(@"\WINDOWS\Startup\SAMSLoad.lnk", @"wceload.exe
/noui /noaskdest \Program Files\SAMS PDA\download.cab");

However, no error but doesn't seem to do anything.

Does that look right?

Thanks again.
