You can start off by creating a Smart Device CAB Project, here are some useful walkthroughs:

If you want to install it from Windows then you can package your CAB file in an MSI then use activesync to install it to the device.
I once wrote an article about a generic smart device CAB installer for the desktop:

As a technical fellow, I prefer just installing from a CAB that I can download directly from the devices web browser. But if you application targets a more non-geek consumer market, you might want to provide a desktop installer

You can also distribute it through storage cards by using the autorun features of windows mobile (your application can get installed automatically as you insert the storage card):

Hello,
I am a beginner with programming with .Net CompactFramework.
I had made an .Net Framework 3.5 project and sqlserver with Visual Studio
2008.
With Visual Studio I can test my project.

Now I want to distribute the application.
How can I make a setup for the end user?
What do I need?

Thanks for the help

Thomas
