Hello everybody!

I've been having problems lately with Visual Studio .NET not willingly compiling CABs for me. I've got the WM2003 SDK installed with emulator images which has previously worked for me. However, now it doesn't work again. Previously I solved this by reinstalling everything -- which proved to be much work.
Here is what the output window shows me:Error : The call to CabWiz.exe failed


Creating batch file 'G:\...LoooongDirectory...\obj\Debug\BuildCab.bat' for command line buildI've tried checking all settings, but nothing wrong found yet.

Anyone got suggestions?

I found the problem!

If you try to have CabWiz to make a Cabinet file out of a directory containing (in the dir. name) any foreign characters then it will fail. In this case, it didn't like my letters: å, ä and ö. 8O
