I have a shareware application, and I would like users to be able to
share the application with other users. In the Palm enviroment that
would be a simple beam. Can I set it up somehow in Window Mobile?

The simplest method for this is to call \windows\beam.exe and pass it the
full path of your application file. This will bring up the standard beam
dialog and allow you to send via Bluetooth or IrDA.

Thanks for the reply.
That would be enough if the program is a single exe file. How can I
create a cab file or similiar, which would let me beam multiple files
in one, and possibly allow an installation dll or exe to run?
Thanks in advance,

I don't know of any mechanism to allow you to build a .cab file on the
device. If you mark your cab file as read-only when you install it it will
not be deleted so you could then find the file on the system and beam it on
to another device. I'm not sure if the file attributes are carried across
when you do this though.
