I try to edit the .inf file to generate the CAB mannually with cabwiz but give me errors. ..inf file --------------- [SourceDisksFiles] "System.Data.SQLite.dll"=1 [DestinationDirs] Files.Common1=0,"" [Files.Common1] "System.Data.SQLite.dll","System.Data.SQLite.dll",,0 ---------------- CabWiz.log ---------------- Error: Section [DestinationDirs] key "Files.Common1" requires valid data ..... What I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.
Hi.

The root destination is not an empty string, it would be "\"

Hi,
[quoted text, click to view] <isineiro@gmail.com> wrote in message news:88941221-849f-475f-8210-f5b847712825@n20g2000hsh.googlegroups.com... > I want to generate a CAB which install a file in root folder. Inside > VS 2005 I can not put a file in root folder. Generally installing files into the root folder of the filesystem is a bad thing to be doing. For example by doing this you don't give the user a chance to decide to install their application(s) onto a removeable SD Card, since the files will end up in the root folder even if the user selects their storage card as the desired installation folder when installing the CAB file. It is better to use the "relative" directories such as "program files" which will resolve to a different path depending upon the user's desired installation target. Can you describe the need to place System.Data.SQLite.dll within the root folder in more detail? From the name of the dll, it would appear that that it would be better to place this file within the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) since it would appear to be reusable by multiple application. If it is only utilised by your own application it would be more advisable to install the assembly within your main application directory. Thanks, Christopher Fairbairn
