Our NETCF 1.0 application is being installed via CAB file over the air.
We need to do some file system cleanup when the application is
removed by the user. Is there any way to get hooks into the uninstall
process so that we can do our cleanup?

Thanks,
Craig

Yes. You need a custom installer DLL. It must be written in C.

Ouch... I'm going to have to dig up my C skills which are buried
underneath my Java skills on which my .Net skills are now piled :-) It
has to be done and thankfully the cleanup should be simple and the
amount of code should be small.

Any pointers to relevant sections of MSDN or a good online tutorial? I
will start digging through MSDN.

Thanks again,
Craig

PocketPCDN has a shell for an installer.
