Hi,
I'm new in the world of CE programming!
I have written a simple mobile application (VS 2005) and I want to prepare
it for deployment.
1) Which CAB file installs the .NET Compact Framework 2 on device?
2) Which project template I should use to create a setup for my application?

Many thanks in advance,
Leila

VS2005 should do all the work for you. All required CABs are installed on
target device when your project is deployed. Look at VS output console to
see exactly which CABs are copied.
VS2005 also provides tools to create smart device CABs, see "Other types of
projects > Smart device CAB project" in VS New project dialog.

Hope it helps.

Renaud.

Thanks Renaud!
It deploys NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab.
I also created a CAB file with that template, but I need the setup process
install NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab on the device. How can I tell this to setup
project!

You can avoid this learning curve by simply using PocketPC Installer.
 http://www.pocketpcinstaller.com

 Just drag'n'drop your .cab file, plus any dependant cab files, like the
.Net CF cab, SQLCE .cab, etc into this app.  

 It will then compress all of the files into an installer .exe file.

 When this is run on your device, the installer will (by default) just
install whichever .cabs aren't already installed on it.

 It's worth a look,  it really is as simple as creating a .zip file,
with no scripting required.
