    We don't have a cradle to connect the device to the PC, so I'm not
    using the Desktop installer. I just copy the cab file to flash memory
    from my PC using a WiFi connection, and a Network share.

    Is there any way of finding which Cabs are included in the Developer
    Redist ?

    The program I have written in Visual Studio .Net creates several Cabs
    for different devices and I copy and install the file:
    CarsPlusPPC_PPC.ARM
    Which doesn't show the warning.

    But when I install the files:
    netcf.core.ppc3.ARM
    sql.ppc3.arm

    I get the warning that they may not be compatible.

    Cheers

    Robert
