CEAppManager Version

If you are creating a setup program for a Pocket PC/ Windows Mobile application that installs on the desktop using ActiveSync and get an error message like

Application manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an invalid setup file. Reinstall and try again.

Then the problem might not be with your CAB but with the ini file passed to CEAppMgr.exe. I had set the version to 1.1 because that's the version of the application I was installing. But after a couple hours of searching I found out that the version is for ini file. It failed with a value of 1.1 and worked with 1.0.

[CEAppManager]
Version = 1.0 ; this is the CeAppMgr .ini version, not the app version
