Hi all,

Since there is famous problem of pda machine built-in memory, we
decided to move the program and DB file out to SD card. I am
considering some issues below:

1. How to config .INF file so that the cab file will automatically
install to \SD card\PDA folder. I heard that we can change tag
[CEStrings], InstallDir = %CE1%, but I don't know which should be
changed to?
2. The program performance could be slow down remarkbly or not? which
kind of SD card should we consult customer?

Any help would be very appreciated.
Regards,

Hi, not a good idea.

We had the application and DB file on the storage card, which turned out to
be very unrealiable, due to the application constantly needing to read/write
to the Storage Card.

Storage cards, have a limited life, which is further limited by the app
writing to the card all the time.

InstallDir can be changed to InstallDir = \storage card\pda folder or
InstallDir = \sd card\pda folder
