Install font files when running CAB file

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to install some fonts (.ttf files) in the PDA folder Windows/Fonts while the main application is being installed? I mean, is there any way of indicating this into the CAB file created?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you want to install font using programmatically then you have to write code for copying @"\Windows\Font\"
