Creating Setup .cab Files with CabWizSp (SP Only)

  • Article

CabWizSP, included in the \Tools directory of the Smartphone Software Development Kit (SDK), uses the parameters you define in a file with the .inf extension (for example, MyGame.inf) to create setup files for Smartphone. The resulting .cab files can be copied to the device or emulator and executed.

The .cab file you create can copy files, apply registry settings, or even run custom code during install and uninstall operations by including a SETUP.DLL file with your setup. A single .inf file can contain information to produce multiple .cab files. For example, you could instruct CabWizSp to produce .cab files for Smartphone devices and the Smartphone emulator through a single .inf file.

For a demonstration of how to create an .inf file, see the Win32 AppInst sample in the SDK.
