Stand alone no install program for pocket pc?

[AcerN30]

How do you make a Stand alone no install program for pocket pc?

[petevick]

You mean just an exe that needs no runtimes or dll's?

[AcerN30]

Yup, like notepad as an example.

[petevick]

Using .Net CF you will struggle.

You have no guarantee that the .Net runtimes are installed on the device - 2.0 SHOULD be in rom, but no guarantees. It certainly wouldn't be on a 2003 device.

You could write it in eVC or Visual C++, and that would do it.

Why do you want to do this - simplicity? If so, just do a setup project for your application

[AcerN30]

I just want something simple?

Cab installer then?

[petevick]

Yes - just add a setup project

[AcerN30]

Once you've made a setup project, what is to be done next?

[petevick]

Copy it to the device, and run it

[AcerN30]

When I uploaded my project there, then saved it.

In the folders there was no cab file?

[petevick]

Sorry - when you run the setup project, it should create a cab file. Copy the resulting cab file to your device and run it

[AcerN30]

I did, copy all the files into the project, saved it.

But...once on the pocket pc, run the cab all files went into program files as I put them there. The program won't run...no errors. Nothing.

[petevick]

So the cab file ran and installed all the dependent dlls?

Do you use SqlServer? Did it install the .Net runtimes? Are you sure your program isn't hitting an error condition and ending. If there is a dll missing you SHOULD get an error loading the program - are you trapping all unexpected errors?
