Remote Tool Bundler (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Remote Tool Bundler is a command-line tool that takes a .cebundleinfo file that you have edited with the Bundle Input Editor and generates a plug-in .cetool file. The Remote Tool Bundler is typically added as a post-build event in a plug-in project so that when the plug-in binaries (desktop-side .NET assembly and device-side applications) are successfully built, the Remote Tool Bundler reads the .cebundleinfo file and creates a .cetool file. The output of the Remote Tool Bundler is used by remote tools.

- At a command prompt, change the directory to [C]:\Program Files\Microsoft Remote Tools Framework\1.00\bin.
