Editing the .inf File
The Allegro uses a 486 equivalent processor. You need to manually edit
the .inf file that is produced that describes each of the platforms,
processors, and version of CE. There is an entry in this file that looks
like the sample below. Change the “VersionMax=” from 2.11 to 2.12. If
you do not do this, when the program is installed onto the Allegro, the
installer reports an error message that this version is not for the Allegro,
and halts the installation process. For Allegros with Microsoft Windows
CE 3.0, this change is not required.

[CEDevice.HPCPro_486]
ProcessorType = 486 ; i486
UnsupportedPlatforms = “HPC”,”Palm PC”
VersionMin=2.11
VersionMax=2.12

Creating Installations for Multiple Devices
Because the platform type specified is not an exact match for the
Allegro, it is possible for to install the generated the CAB files onto a
different device type. If you are trying to create an installation that
installs one set of files onto a Handheld PC running Windows CE 2.0
and another set of files onto an Allegro running CE 2.12, it is possible for
the wrong set of files to get installed onto the devices. It is best to create
a different installation file for each device.
