PSS. Chris, got any solutions to auto installing multiple CABs?? I'm only
running one instance of wceload.exe. If you search this forum on
'wceload.exe' or 'CAB' you will see details on this issue.

My setup dll is very simple and it too worked before. No such luck now and
it's no fun having to go into the mobile and run all the supporting CABs
after the applications initial install. Let me know if you need to see my
CABs ini setup, inf, or the steup.dll code. It's all pretty straight forward
and IT DID work. If you feel this is best resolved at a higher level let me
know so I can stop buggin everybody. :-) Thanks
