I want to create a setup dll for cab while installing the ppc
application using the cabwiz & its inf. file.
I have used the code in the .inf file.

[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Provider = "Lu"
CESignature = "$Windows CE$"

[CEStrings]
AppName = "ce_setup"
InstallDir = %CE1%

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = FileList
CESetupDLL = ce_setup.dll

[FileList]
ce_setup_dummy1.txt,ce_setup_dummy.txt,
ce_setup_dummy2.txt,ce_setup_dummy.txt,
ce_setup_dummy3.txt,ce_setup_dummy.txt,
ce_setup_dummy4.txt,ce_setup_dummy.txt,
; Bug! If using a dll, then less than four files
; generate an error when running the cab. ???

[SourceDisksNames]
1 = ,"source directory",,
2 = ,"bin directory",,SetUp

[SourceDisksFiles]
ce_setup_dummy.txt=1
ce_setup.dll=2

[DestinationDirs]
FileList = 0,%InstallDir%

i m not very sure of this.

I want to know how to create the setup.dll using evc++ that will close
all the running applications from the ppc & delete the temp. installer
files.

I have tried some code that gives me error of invalid CE SetUp file
