Troubleshooting the CAB Wizard

To identify and avoid problems that might occur when using the CAB Wizard, follow these guidelines:

• Use %% for a percent sign (%) character when using this character in an .inf file string, as specified in the Win32 documentation. This will not work under the [Strings] section.
• Do not use .inf or .cab files that were created for Windows CE to install applications on Windows-based desktop platforms.
• Ensure that the Makecab.exe and Cabwiz.ddf files, included with Windows CE, are in the same directory as Cabwiz.exe.
• Use the full path to call Cabwiz.exe.
• Do not create a .cab file with the Makecab.exe file that is included with Windows CE. You must use Cabwiz.exe, which uses Makecab.exe to generate the .cab files for Windows CE.
• Do not set the read-only attribute for .cab files.
