Hi jihmantiquilla,

It's Okey, but this given reference/ thread is also suggest you for single cab file having multiple cab file.

You can also refer this article and sample code for multiple cab installation.

Below path is providing you a sample project on your PC if you are using Windows Mobile 6 SDK

C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\Common\CPP\Win32\multicabinstall

Very good article written by raffaele, even you can also refer this

Answer 4

Thanks for the reply sir.

why do i recieve an error when i try to open such examples in multicab. iv'e downloaded also one of the examples on the link that youv'e given me but it always says that "The project consists entirely of configurations that require support for platforms which is not installed on this machine. the project cannot be loaded."

can someone here tell me why does this error occur?????

Answer 5

You can try reinstalling (or maybe repairing it is enough) Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh, and then openning the multicab in the installation folder as WmDev has shown.
