Cab file generated in debug but not release folder.

[dwyane123]

Hi guys,

I would like to enquire. In msdn website. I have learnt how to create a cab file as an installation file for my windows mobile project for windows mobile 5. at Walkthrough: Packaging a Smart Device Solution for Deployment . I can sucessfully generate the cab file. However, in the article, it states that the cab file will be found in the release folder. But as for mine it is found in the debug folder and there is actually no release folder at all. So, i would like to ask if this is normal or is the building of cab file not sucessful. This is as the cab file seems to work well but it is in the debug folder of my solution instead of the release folder and that my solution for cab file does not have release folder

thanks a lot

You should have a Configuration Manager in Build menu where you can choose Debug/Release.

Oh i saw that but is there any difference between them?

Debug configuration of your program is compiled with full symbolic debug information and no optimization
