Or you could do it the recommended way: Provide a desktop-to-device
installer which copies the CAB files to the desktop PC, then launches the
Windows CE Application Manager to complete the installation. Here are a
couple of links to get you started:

Yes, you can do this by creating a custom setup.dll but be careful - the
installer is being rearchitechted in the next version of Windows Mobile and
you'll no longer be able to have more than once instance of wceload running
at a time (Smartphone already has this restriction). This means that
having
a setup.dll that just launches other CABs recursively won't work in the
future. Here's the workaround (straight from the mouth of our wceload
developer):
"In short, what you need to do is to have a small exe in the cab that the
setup.dll will invoke createprocess on, at the Install_Exit entry point.
This app would then get a handle to the running wceload process and wait
for
it to get done and once it is done, it will start installing the contained
cabs as instructed."
