Re: CE 5.0 Cab files with VS 2003

I did answer you. Studio has nothing to do with it. CABWIZ creates the
file, and CABWIZ probably hasn't changed in forever (if it has then they've
really screwed up by not making it a lot better than it is).

As Peter pointed out in one of your earlier posts, modify the INF to allow
CE 5.0 as a target and regenerate the CAB.

And remember - just because it's an emergency for you, doesn't mean it is
for us. Most everyone that asks a question here thinks it's important,
otherwise they probably wouldn't ask.

The problem is simple - your CAB is marked for 4.2. Studio itself
doesn't
make the CAB - CABWIZ does. Do some research instead of just asking over
and over - it's well documeted how CABWIZ works and what INF files should
look like.
