Nice work! This will help out alot.

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)
 

I'll definitely be playing with this. Before I do, I'm wondering if it just runs the .cabs in series, leaving me to click the radio buttons about whether I want to install to the device or to the storage card, then clicking OK when done, or whether it just installs everything to the device?

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)
 

Hello,

It doesn't ask for the location, it just installs everything to the device, without you needing to click OK for each cab file.

Great stuff man. I'm sure this will come in handy somewhere down the line. :-)

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)
 

yes this really does simplify alot of UC, especially now that you added copy functionality... great work!

So is it possible to write a stand alone version that will silently install files directly to the storage card using the same method? i'm starting to catch onto this concept, but i dont understand why it's limited to installing to device only.

Re: AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)
 

As far as I can tell, there's no way to automatically install cab files to a different location like the storage card, unless the cab file explicitly specifies the storage card as an install location... it looks like Microsoft took out that functionality since WM5 for who knows what reason. D:

I thought I read somewhere on here that you can use a program to modify the CAB file to install to storage card. I will have to find that again, as I found out that almost everything on my card has to be reinstalled after each hard reset or rom change. I was hoping that all I needed was the shortcuts.

Oh you go find that post now fryguy, NOW!! lol

Not that i've started using it yet, but i switched from sbp backup to Sprite backup (6.10) for this exact reason... it now has a feature that allows you to restore backups even after Rom upgrades and reflashes.... should take alot of the legwork out of these contstant upgrades... I'll truly be happy when i have a 'one touch' solution for reinstating my settings, customizations and setups....

I think it might have been the WinCE Cab Manager.
