Hey guys
I need find out a way to customize our application build process. When
cab file is installing on device, I want to update registry entry for
application configuration. Because we have a framework application and
other applications need to plug in the framework. I want to update
registry entry while I am installing framework, so when I install
application, it will create a entry under framework application.
Framework will know there is one application installed and need to
support.
I heard someone wrote a small native program and plug into cab wizard.
Can someone give me more details how to do that?

Thanks in advance.

You need a custom setup.dll written in C that can do pretty much anything. 
pocketpcdn.com I believe has a template project.
