create smart device cab through msbuild

Question

Is it possible to use an msbuild task to build a smart device project into a cab file for deployment.

I've seen a couple of pages on the web:

but I can't believe that you have to go to that much trouble for something that should be simple!

Thanks.

Answer 1

It is that difficult and, yes, that is lame.
