    Hi, I have a problem to make a CAB file for my project exe (create in Visual studio 2005, C#) into PocketPc 2003. When i execute a cab on a PDa with pocketpc 2003 I retrive an error: "It's not a valid CAB file for windows CE". The CAB work perfectly on PDA with windows mobile 5.0. Why? I can create a CAB file compatible with pocketpc2003? Thanks a lot.

      As far as I know PocketPC2003 is a diffent opreating system from windows mobile 5.0 you will need to compile it to work with pocketPC2003 not windows mobile 5, also dont forget you will need to download the .net framework for that opperating system and CPU too

          Ok when you started the project did you select a Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC. if so you will need to start a new project and Select Pocket PC 2003 under new smart device application. Then move all your forms across from the first version and rebuild it that way, you see the project is setup speifically for the device you are targeting, you will have to have a sperate pocket pc 2003 version, this should not tak too long provided the controls used are suport by both devices

            what you say is OK for "smart device" projects, not for the group "other projects" (setup & cab project). :)
