Installing apps to SD Storage instead of flash memory

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

The CAB files never give you the option, that's why I always click the
EXE on my PC to install to PPC. If you do install via a CAB you can
always cut and paste the directory to storage card and then create a
shortcut to the exe in windows/start menu/programs and delete the old
reference.

Just a second note here... CABs won't give you that option that I described
in my first reply. It is only via ActiveSync that what I described will
work via the .exe install.

The only time I've had that is when I've tried to run an application
designed to be executed only on the PPC.
