c# - windows mobile 6.5 CAB signing - what is the added value? -


i'm developing windows mobile 6.5 application in .net cf 3.5 dedicated customer. app has implemented functionality of autoupdate. application asks webservice @ startup newer version, if 1 exists, downloads cab installer via http , calls cab installation shellexecute.
cab file not signed. wonder, add cab signing in case of application?
current problem when cab installed requires user ack installation (by choosing install , ack newer version installed). wonder whether cab signing eliminate steps?
, question - generate updates (1-2 per week). every cab signing require participation of microsoft? can sign cab manually?

regards

signing cab can done you, though need certificate valid cert provider (or custoemr has able reach cert server).

however, buy absolutely nothing. signing cab allows installed on device has security prevents unsigned cabs being installed.

the user interaction cab standard. can prevent ui in many cases shipping cab in package has installer exe runs wcelaod.exe /noui and/or /silent switches.

iirc, can avoid "target folder" dialog providing hard destination in inf file used generate cab.
