Special Considerations for Adding Multiple .cab Files

InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition

A Windows Mobile installation is a set of .cab files. If your Windows Mobile installation supports more than one platform-processor combination, the set of .cab files consists of a separate .cab file for each platform-processor combination. If your installation supports all platform-processor combinations, the set of .cab files consists of only one .cab file that can be used for any platform-processor combination.

Note: If a Windows Mobile installation consists of multiple .cab files, you should add all of the installation's .cab files to the same node of the Mobile Device Installations explorer in the Mobile Devices view. You should not separate the .cab files into different nodes.

If you want to add to your project multiple .cab files from different Windows Mobile installations (that is, from different sets of .cab files), you should create a separate node in the Mobile Device Installations explorer for each set of .cab files. You should not mix .cab files from different installations in the same node.
