Thanx Mr. Himanshu for your suggestions
Your suggestion is working. If run time image has support for cab
installer then it extracts the files. I am able to install it from the
cab file.

Now i have one more query. I am having the following section in .inf
file

.....snip..............
[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = CopyToInstallDir

[CopyToInstallDir]
"Driver dll file",acmmodem.dll,,0x00000001

[DestinationDirs]
CopyToInstallDir=0,%CE1%\WinCEDriverDirectory
....snip end..................

When the cab file installs the driver that time instead of the driver
acmmodem.dll in Program files this file "Driver dll file" was created.
So in reality the driver .dll file was not placed in program files....I
think i have made some problem in
...snip....
[CopyToInstallDir]
"Driver dll file",acmmodem.dll,,0x00000001
...snip end........

Please suggest

Hi Puneet,
yes you have to just run that cab file it shows cab file icon if it
shows unknow file icon means you dont have include cab intaller in your
OS image. when you double click it then cab file automatically make
entries in registry and copy your file into \windows folder.

I am using WinCE 5.0 and I have one system CEPC that has pentium II. I
have created some modem device driver on windows ce 5.0. I want to
create some installation utility to install the wince driver on CEPC
using .cab files. I have created .cab file using .inf file and
CabWizard utility.

Now I have Installed ActiveSync 4.2 in my system as i find that
CEAppMgr.exe" is a component of ActiveSync, specifically the agent
which handles the transfer of CAB files onto the device. It has created
the following registry entries in the host system.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\CEAPPMGR.EXE.

I have also created .ini file that describes which .cab files
correspond to which platform

Now still i am not getting how to use CEAppMgr and my .cab files to
install
the driver on CEPC for some handset.

I find one setup.exe file that facilitates in installing the driver and
uses the .ini file as a command line argument.
Reference: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/creatingsetup.html
When i execute this I am getting the message "Application Manage can
run only when a mobile device is connected"

Although i have booted the CEPC using run time image created on my host
system and also attached the nokia handset to install the driver, then
why i am getting the dialogue "Application Manage can run only when a
mobile device is connected"

Please suggest me.....
Thanx for your suggestions in advance
