small utility: cab batch install (a batch installer) with source

[helloworld1]

Introdution:
This small app will help you out when you have a bunch of cab files to install after flashing the new rom.

How to use:
1. Select or input a directory that contains a bunch of cab files.
2. Generate the list file that is [INSERT SELECTED DIRECTORY]\batch-list.txt. You can manually edit this file to select which to install.
3. Batch install. It will promot you if you really want to install that file.

Problems:
1. The small utility can not silently install cab files.

Todo:
1. More UI friendly to select the files.

Note:
I am rather new at windows mobile programming. I have learned it from scratch. The whole program uses pure C and winapi, no managed code, no MFC/ATL.
Acknowledge:
Thanks legedug for packaging the cab file.

Copyleft:
The source code is available, anyone can modify it and redistribute it. But you should contain at least a piece of my name in it and should distribute with full source code.

Will try it! This will be super good as my P3600i constantly needs a hard reset due to all available roms are for P3600. I'll let you know how this go! Thanks

This will differentiate itself from other similar programs (TierAutoinstall) if it can popup when dialogs are displayed after installs on some cabs.

Tested. I really like it!

No bug so far and here are my findings and suggestions:

1. Yes we need silent installation

2. Pick a directory: this need to pick up sub-directories. My cabs saved in "Storage Card/PDA SW/Common". It won't pick up cab file in "Common" directory.

3. Some cab files require restart - If I choose restart now, it won't resume batch install. (I can choose not to restart now to by-pass it)

Ok, you can manually input the directory. I do not know how to invoke folder selection dialog. If anyone know , please help me.
