wceload.exe is in \Windows. The path to your target CAB must be quote
delimited (single or double IIRC). The switches must be before the CAB file
path.

Something like this:

wceload.exe /noui '\Program Files\MyApp.cab'

On WM5.0 the /silent switch replaces /noui /noaskdest. If you want your
application to always install to the device and not prompt for a destination
you can set your destination folder as a folder beneath the Program Files
system path rather than the Application Path folder created by the Device
CAB project (assuming you are using VS2005)

I?ve tryed this, but doesnt work!!, i generate the cab with VS2005 and
put the result file in program file folder, furthermore, if i want to
install a cab that i cant modify, how can i do? its impossible?

i?ve discovered if i install manually a cab, then, the /silent mode
work well!! so i think the first time write something in the registry
and them in /silent mode is read, but its my assumption.

thanks.

Bear in mind, if using the /silent switch on your WM5 device, any prompts
such as granting permission for the cab to be installed (if not signed by a
valid authenticode provider such as Verisign etc) will halt your install
without you even knowing.
