Find out the versoin of PocketPC on device?

Hi,

I have an NSI script (modern version) which installs the following on a PocketPC device:

- .NetCF CAB
- Thirdy party CAB
- My application CAB

Now the problem is:

There are two versions of the Third Party CAB - one for PPC2000-2002, and one for all later versions. I emphasize - the version is NOT processor specific, it's OS specific (I didn't write it so don't ask me why).

Is there a way, from within an NSI script, to determine the version of PocketPC on the device, so I can deploy the correct CAB?

If not, then any workarounds, ideas, suggestions?

Much appreciate any help on this!

Cheers,
PeterZ

According to MSDN, the INI file for CEAppManager supports VersionMin and VersionMax. Those define the minimum and maximum supported versions of the OS.

Hi kichik,

Thanks for your response.

It's the INF file used by CabWiz that uses VersionMin/VersionMax parameters, not the INI file for CeAppMgr.exe.

Like I mentioned before, the third party component already comes in a CAB file - I'm not compiling it, therefore I have no control over the creation of the CAB itself.

I was hoping to explicitly deploy the appropriate CAB from the NIS script by examening the OS version. But seems that cannot be done.

Actually I might take up the issue with the makers of the third party compnent and see if they can produce a CAB file that has the VersionMin parameter set. That way all I have to do is pass an INI file to CeAppMgr that lists both CABs, and CeAppMgr should pick up the right one? Is my thinking correct?

Thanks,
PeterZ
