Everything that I have found says to use the inf file (with cabwiz) created when you build the project from within visual studio.

We have a composite application built using the Composite UI Application Block (CAB)/Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF). To date, each module in our composite app has used its own set of DTO's, and business logic has been duplicated throughout the module, both in the UI layer and the Service layer. I would like to pursue more Domain-...

I'm in the process of evaluating the use of CAB for a new .net 3.5 winform project I plan to use the Infragistics toolset, which is known to be 'CAB compliant' While CAB has the immediate upside of letting me focus on my business instead of coding basic docking/login/etc code, I feel like I would be able to achieve the same level of fu...

We have a composite application with a DockPanelWorkspace as its main user interface area. Above this sits a MenuStrip with a window menu set as its MdiWindowListItem.

I have my first Windows Mobile app ready for deployment (Windows Mobile 6). I have made my CABProject and made a .cab file that will install successfully.

Hi all, I've finally finished my killer app and now I've got a bit of an issue. I've created my cab file (builds fine and installs perfectly/runs perfectly on the PDA device) and now I'm trying to create my windows installer.

How do I place the shortcut icon in the cab file? Can anyone shed some light on this? I searched online and found no info about this at all, except a claim that the icon used in the smart device project is automatically pulled into a cab. Well, it isn't so. It got pulled in once and after that when i CHANGED the icon it still shows an ol...
