Hrm... I don't think it is possible to make a folder without putting files in there. However, you can create dummy text files in each of the folders you want, and then add an XML to the CAB to automatically delete the files after installing.

In WinCE CAB Manager there is an area to specify a Post-XML file (on the same window that you can rename your CAB file)

Here is an example of the code you would need to delete the file "initprov.lnk" in the folder "\Windows\startup\"

Code:

<characteristic type="FileOperation">
    <characteristic type="\Windows\startup\initprov.lnk"  translation="install">
        <characteristic type="Delete">
            <parm name="ForceDelete" />
        </characteristic>
    </characteristic>

I guess Im not getting the registry part. Where do I change the path and how do I put it in the correct area?

You select the main registry folder, then right click on it and select "New Key..."

Remember - a KEY is like a folder, it has more registry keys or entries inside of it.

Once you get to the proper key directory, you just right click in the white space and select "New..." and whatever type of entry you want.

My first attempt and for some reason I thought reg files would input the path for me. I got it though. I went ahead and added the whole key cause I wasnt sure if I could add one change of a DWord value without deleting the rest of the key information.
