Setup moans because of newer version

I'm writing software for the QTek 2020 at the moment which is running Pocket
PC Version 4.20.0.

However we're just starting to rollout the same software on the XDA II
running Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition version 4.21.1088.

The software actually works OK however when it tries to install SQLCE and
SP3 for the .NET Framework it's coming up saying "this software was written
for a previous version of software, and may not work, do you want to continue
with the install"

Is there anyway to get around this?

Many Thanks
Rob

Update your CAB files with a higher minimum version.

Well you're generating the CABs, so alter the INF file used by cabwiz and up
the minimum version number. A google search on INF formats, as well as the
exact warning string you posted should yield good info.

This is only true if you don't use installer programs, they mostly don't
use cabwiz or cabwiz ignores these settings if made in these cases.

Doubtful. Almost all of the commercial installers still use CABWIZ to
generate the actual cabs (I say "almost all" in the event there's one out
there that doesn't, but all that I know of do), they simply generate the INF
for you "behind the scenes" and pipe it through CABWIZ, getting rid of the
ugliness of dealing with them manually.

And if it's a comercial product generating the CABs, there will be a place
to tell it what the minimum and maximum versions supported are.
