AutoInstall Program (w/ Silent cab install)

Anyone ever find a way to do this? I tried that WinCE cab manager program (the 30 day trial version) and I have no idea what I need to do to change the install directory so that things will install to the storage card.

Read the tutorial I made a while ago, you may be able to figure some things out about WinCE Cab Manager

Thats more to explain how to make a cab, no? All I'm wanting to do, is make it so certain cabs will install to the STORAGE card (preferably without prompting me as to where I want to install them).

I tried to edit the properties of one of the cabs I'm using, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to put as the install path. I tried Storage Card, and when I ran the cab on my touch it still asked me where I wanted to install it, on the device, or the card.

I use WinCE Cab Manager regularly and it will allow you to change the default install location. However, its about $100 for the software.

Hi.

To install unsigned cabs in silent mode you can download this utility from http://cssoft.freehosting.net/website2/default.html.

you can download a dll file with some stuff to install the cab files or an exe file to install one cab in silent mode.

i'll hope it helps

Well I think that is more than what I'm willing to spend for what I need it for....Any cheaper ways to do it?
