Author CAB compression

Hello,
Is it possible to compress a cab file (modifying compilation options, or
whatever)?
Regards,
Agnes

SmartPhone CABs are compressed. WM 5.0 CabWiz has /compress switch for that.

SP 2003 CabWiz would compress anyway.


Best regards,

Ilya

Hello Agnes,

If the "/compress" switch is provided when building a CAB file with
CabWiz.exe, the resulting CAB file will be compressed. Please note that
Pocket PC versions 2003 and earlier do not natively handle compressed CAB
files.

Thanks,

I forgot to say that I am working on VS2005. There is no compression option
in the Cab project properties. Where can I check if the /compress switch is
activated??

Thank you,
Agnes

Jason was refering to PPC, assuming your targeting Smartphone, then
it's already compressed.
