<div>In attempting to install PythonCE (latest, downloaded from
sourceforge), using the PythonCE.WM.cab file, on a Windows CE 6.0
mini-laptop (7" screen w/ 800x480 res, ARM VT-8500 300MHz CPU, and
256MB DDR, 2GB Flash SSD), I get the following message popup...<br>
<br>
<b>Setup Failed:</b> The application cannot run on this device
type.
Please install the application specific to this device type.<br clear="all">
<br>
Could someone kindly explain the reason why the Setup Failed. In the
past I've installed several application which are originally WM apps,
successfully on this WinCE6.0 device, without any issues.<br>
<br>
What could I do, to have PythonCE installed on this machine ?<br>

<div>sounds like its not liking whatever CPU is set in
the cab<br>

Thanks for the reply, Jake. AFAIK, the CPU for which the
PythonCE.WM.cab is built, is ARM (family). Of course, ARM family is
quite wide, and slight differences do exist in instruction set, this is
almost the first time, I ran into this could of trouble. :-)<br>
<br>
Would building PythonCE (cross compiling) specifically my machine help
? <br clear="all">

Wondering if this is the culprint... this is what I find in the
_setup.xml inside the .cab file!! Which effectively means that that cab
would not install when OSVersion = 6.00 !!!<br>

thats what I would wager is the issue<br>

</blockquote></div><br>sure. got any ideas on how i could edit the .cab file contents ? i tried the approach of using WinZIP / WinRAR on PC to extract and re-make the CAB file as a PKzip file, after editing the .XML, but that approach didn't work. on trying to use some other CAB-editing tools s.a. i6comp* -- they can't even open the .CAB file, citing some reason as .hdr file not being found in the .cab !!<br>
