Modify _setup.xml and rebuild .cab file?

[jayelarex]

I downloaded a cool Application but some of the settings (where it gets installed to) are incorrect for the Q.

Below is the XML file that I wanted to make changes to but every time I make a change the install fails (I'm assuming from a incorrect parameter in the xml or a bad .cab file update.)

<wap-provisioningdoc>

The change I wanted to make is just to remove \Storage from all the values, I was hoping to get this installed to a different directory (\Windows).

Any help would be great.

The application is Gstart (http://airfagev.com/downloads1.asp?id=128)

could it be because the Q (or WM5) is not supported ?

The App installs and works but I just want to install it into another directoty (I have tried moving/copying) I figured the easyist way was to modify the XML file.

The problem with the app is that is looking in the start menu directory (/windows/ Start Menu) so when it installs in storage it creates a sub dirtectory in storage.

Storage is the root folder on a WM2003 device. You have a few options.
1. Let it go and use as is.
2. Unpack the cab, alter the setup xml and re-pack the cab.
3. Move everything after the installation. Make sure to make any registry changes necessary.
