Installing my program on Windows CE 5

Question

I'm in the progress of finishing up an application for Windows CE 5, and I was wondering what the easiest way of installing the application on CE 5 devices would be.

Hitting "publish" in VS8 generates an installer, but this installer isn't compatible with CE 5.

What is an easy, effective way of installing my applications on Windows CE 5?

Answer 1

The easy way is to just add a new Deployment project to your existing solution.

Right-Click your solution and pick Add > New Project

Go to Other Project Types, select the Smart Device CAB Project

Right click the new project, including all the files your project uses, then build it .
