Installer which can install onto CompactFlash?


Installer which can install onto CompactFlash?

Postby britcode » Jul 13, 2002 @ 6:11pm

How do you make an installer which can install onto CompactFlash?

At "install into default directory" I clicked No, but there was no option to change the install directory. But I don't have a CompactFlash so I don't know

Do I need to add something to the .inf file to enable the user to install onto CompactFlash.

I'm pretty sure that if Activesync doesn't find a storage card on PPC, it'll just install onto device regardless of clicking 'no' for 'Install in default blah..."

Installing to CF card

Postby Conan » Jul 13, 2002 @ 8:55pm

When you have a card fitted you get choices of main memory or storage card. On devices with 2 card slots you get 3 choices. You took the correct option but without a card you can't see the options.

( many people miss this option & can't figure out how to install to storage cards so make it clear in your docs )

Add this line under CESTRINGS
InstallDir=%CE1%\%AppName%

and replace this line:

Files.Common = 0,%CE1%\%AppName%

with this line:
Files.Common = 0,%InstallDir%

*edit*
Ohh wait, put CE STRINGS at the top of your inf, otherwise it sees the wrong code first and will always put it on the device hence the %CE1%.

I had this EXACT problem I hope I explained good enough how to help.
