User-friendly Windows Mobile installer

I'm looking for a way to create a small installer for Windows Mobile 5.0 and higher applications that contains my software and loads appropriate .NET CF 3.5 CABs. At the same time I also do not want to bloat my installer unnecessarily.

The .NET Compact Framework 3.5 redistributable is over 33 MB large. Is all of this really required? If not, where can I get the .NET CF 3.5 CABs for windows Mobile 5.0 and higher.?

Thanks,

Adrian

The Compact Framework is more like 9 MB (well it's can be up to 12MB for MIPS processors I think). The 33MB "redistributable" is the desktop installer that installs the CABs for all processors on a development PC. That's not what you push to a device.
