PocketMatrix

Hello!

Does anyone know how to make a single file installer for a GapiDraw application?

Eg. A installer that installs different stuff depending on the target pocket pc.

My game will only support the ARM cpu, so thats not a problem. But since I use Gapidraw I need different gapidraw dlls for ppc 2002 and mobile 2003.

I have managed to do two separate install files, using cabwiz and ezsetup.

But since Handango and Pocket Gear only seems to supports one single file, I need to make one which supports both platforms.

Ok I know there is an other way to register two different applications:

* my app [ppc 2002]
* my app [mobile 2003]

But it seems kind of lame, and really not what I want.

Regards Okku

One simple solution: Include all the various installer versions in a ZIP file, let the customer download that and choose the right one (you might have a single executable that starts up and asks for their device type, then executes the proper installer for them).

Another option: multiple listings on Handango and Pocketgear. That's personally what I've done, and what I say a great many people do.

What you ask to do is of course possible, I don't know the answer (although I did it with one product, I don't really recall all the pertinent details, and now it's just a batch file for me to run)... It just may be more efficient use of your time to go an easier route, like the above options.

This is in my ini file:

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = Beshaped
[Beshaped]
IconFile = beshaped.ico
IconIndex = 0
DeviceFile = Beshaped.exe
CabFiles = beshaped.PPC30_SH3.cab,beshaped.PPC30_MIPS.cab,beshaped.PPC30_ARM.cab,beshaped.PPC2002_ARM.cab,beshaped.PPC2003.cab

This is in my bat file:

copy ..\ArmRel\Beshaped.exe .\PPC30_ARM
copy ..\ArmRelease2002\Beshaped.exe .\PPC2002_ARM
copy ..\MIPSRel\Beshaped.exe .\PPC30_MIPS
copy ..\SH3Rel\Beshaped.exe .\PPC30_SH3
copy ..\PPC2003\ARMV4Rel\Beshaped.exe .\PPC2003
cabwiz beshaped.inf /cpu ppc30_arm ppc2002_arm ppc30_sh3 ppc30_mips PPC2003
ezsetup -l english -i beshaped.ini -r readme.txt -e eula.txt -o BeshapedSetup.exe

P.S. Yes I know the names are inconsistent.
