Ok, so I compressed the cabs using cabwiz, I am using ezsetup to compress and install the program, but now It will only install in the on device dir(in main memory). I don't think the problem is inherent in the installer, It seems to me that the cab is what directs it where to install. Is there anyway I can make this dynamic??

Thank you,

As far as I know, you merely place the CAB file in the storage card (\Storage Card). At least that's all that ActiveSync does when you choose to install to a card.

Do you mean that you want to force the installer to go outside main memory using .inf file options?

During the normal install process the user gets the choice 'install [name of program] using the default application install directory?' If you say no to this question you get a drop down list 'Select Destination Media' with main memory or storage card as the options.

Conan, I must be doing something wrong because it gives me that option, I can do it, but then it just goes ahead and installs in the directory that the cab uses.....

So, heres my file, as far as I can see I specify the dir, but it will only install on main memory.

I think your destination dir is wrong. I looked through all the CE .inf files I have & almost all use something beginning with InstallDir=%CE1%\ and only a few small samples used CE8
Can you try changing [CEStrings] and [DestinationDirs]
Files.Application = 0,%CE1%\%AppName% ;\Target\AppName
