I assume it's not installing correctly because of the version warning. You
can change the versions a .cab file is compatible with from the VersionMax
and BuildMax settings in the .inf file used to build the cab. Once you've
edited this file manually run the BuildCab.bat file in the same folder to
regenerate the cab file (don't use the option from Visual Studio as it will
overwrite your customisations). Visual Studio 2005 has much better support
for building device cab files and you can do this through the IDE.

Environment :

.Net Compact Framework :1.1
Visual studio 2003
Visual basic
Winforms
Windows CE
users No third party controls
Symbol machine
Emulator that i use for development : windows ce 4


Hi All,
My application was developed in the above environment using windows Ce 4.
To
persist a cold boot on the barcode scanners, i would move the following
cab
files over to the barcode scanners's application folder and when i cold
boot
it, the barcode scanners would automatically re-install all the following
cab
files ever time it is cold booted.
.net framework 1.1
symbol
cab file for my application build using the Build cab option of visual
studio 2003

Now this all works perfect on windows ce 4

I had to deploy this on windows ce 5 and when i move these installs over
to
barcode scanners 's applicatoin folder it does not install it when it is
cold
booted and when i manually try to install it it gives me the message "not
compatible with 5" but then it lets me install it and i install them
successfully. My question is, is the process of persisting a cold boot the
same for windows ce 5.0 as well i.e just place the cab files in the
application folder.

thanks in advance.
