I gotta tell you, the new CAB builder that comes with Visual Studio 2005 is a glorious failure. It is glorious because it is intuitive, easy to use, and simple. It is a failure because it doesn't friggin work.
Sure, it will build a CAB. And sure it is easy to setup the first time. But everytime we open the project a day or two later, all sorts of dependencies are out of whack and it won't build, even if nothing changed! And it hides so much that it is difficult to trace where exactly the failure is. I'm really getting fed up with this tool. I can't wait for the next service pack, cause this one is an abomination.
