Hi. I'm trying to use CeAppMgr to install my application. I've created an
ini file which refers to a cab file in the same directory as the ini file.
When I try to install, I keep getting the following message: "Application
Manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an
invalid setup file. Reinstall and try again." When I simply copy the cab
file over to the device and click on it, it installs fine. Thus, I'm
assuming something is wrong with the ini file. Here's what it looks like
(note that there is no linefeed after the last line-- the same as in an ini
file which I have used successfully). Can anyone see anything wrong?

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0
Component = HandiScript

[HandiScript]
Description = eScription HandiScript.
CabFiles = EDTPocketHandiScript_PPC.ARM4.CAB

Further info on this. When I turn on the debugging switch for CeAppMgr in
the registry, it puts up a message box with the title "Invalid Inf File",
and the message: "Could not find the "CEAppManager" header in the file
Handi.ini"

The message appears to have been caused by a faulty inf file used to build
the cab. I guess CeAppMgr is more finicky about such things than the code
which processes cab files on the iPAQ.
