If you are the device OEM and actually create the CE image for the device,
you can do it. If you're not (and by the nature of you asking the question,
it indicates you're not) then you can't.

The best we have been able to do is to store our application and
associated cab files on an SD Card, then use the Autorun.exe mechanism
of the SD card to run a script (custom c++ app) that does the complete
install.

By using our app to deploy, and storing our application data on the SD
card, we can have our Hotline department execute a cold reset as part
of their troubleshooting to rule user "tweaks" our of the possible
issues.

This can also be achieved by flash memory + some special post-boot
procedures if your device supports it. For example I develop for symbol
MC50, MC70, MC9000, VC5090 devices and all have a special built-in
flash volume, which persists the hard reset or clean boot (on WM5) and
the OS launches some predefined applications from the flash volume on
hr/clean boot. I'm succesfully using this approach for one of our
customer's system to reinstall all neccessary applications and
libraries after HR...

Filip
