Smatphone installation problem

Wanted to create reg. value using setup inf file , that will hold full path to the installed application:

[MyData]
HKCU,Software\%AppName%,Location,0x00000
000,%InstallDir%

Everything works just fine. Key value is \IPSM\Program Files\MyApp

But when i select installation on Storage Card instead of Main memory , the reg value created is: *again* \IPSM\Program Files\MyApp, instead of \Storage Card\Program Files\MyApp.

So, when installing in storage card i get an invalid path.Need to find a way to store correct installation location.

Any help appreciated!

I had the same problem. Solved with a special command for cabwizsp:

1) Create an xml file with this content (es. savepath.xml)

<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\%AppName%">
<parm name="Location" value="%InstallDir%\%AppName%" datatype="string"
translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

2) run cabwizsp with this command line:

CabwizSP.exe AppName.inf /postxml savepath.xml

HTH,
