Hi all

My target device will have a folder (external memory card) named "SDMMC
Disk". Can I specify that I want my application installed into a folder on
that disk rather than in the Program Files folder?

(VS2005 CF2)


Thanks

Pete

No. It's one of my gripes about the Studio "CAB File" wizard. You can't
install on anotehr card. I ended up writing my own INF file and calling
cabwiz manually.

It's pretty painless for me as we have INFO files for lots of stuff already
and a batch-file system for generating CABs.

I have tried adding a custom folder but I cannot see where I specify its
path. Or maybe I can somehow set the path for the Application Folder?


Thanks

Correct. We use a batch file and a hand-written INF file. We still use
Studio for the MSI, but the CAB project still just doesn't fit our needs.

Ah damn

I created a file called "SDMMC Disk" and it now installs onto the secondary
card but I cannot specify a subfolder. What are the steps involved in
changing this, and would it mean that I can no longer use my installation
project?
