			Cleaner Method.

			While the above method works just fine, I would like to point out that the same result can be achieved without having the 'Add / Remove Programs' dialog pop up three times, which can be confusing and unfriendly to stupi...errr...<I>Less Experienced</I> users - it can be done much more cleanly in one dialog. This is also a better solution when you are installing dependencies (i.e: If you need to have the .Net compact framework installed before your main app).

			To do this, take the above installscript, and modify it thusly:

			<highlight-nsis>
			StrCpy $0 "$INSTDIR\1.ini"
			;Call InstallCAB <-- Comment out this line
			SectionEnd ;

			Section "File 2"
			SectionIn 1
			SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"

			File 2.ini
			File 2.CAB

			StrCpy $2 "$INSTDIR\2.ini" ;<-- $2 instead of $0
			;Call InstallCAB <-- Comment out this line
			SectionEnd ;

			Section "File 3"
			SectionIn 1
			SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"

			File 3.ini
			File 3.CAB

			StrCpy $3 "$INSTDIR\3.ini" ;<-- $3 instead of $0
			Call InstallCAB

			<SNIP!>

			Function InstallCAB
			ExecWait '"$1" "$0" "$2" "$3"' ;<-- Extra parameters '$2' and '$3' Here
			FunctionEnd
			</highlight-nsis>

			<B>What This Achieves:</B>

			The PDA CAB Files are installed by calling CEAppMgr.exe with the cab files as command-line parameters. In the main article, this is accomplished by calling CEAppMgr three times to install Three Cab Files. With my changes, instead of calling ceappmgr three times:

			CeAppMgr 1.cab<BR>
			CeAppMgr 2.cab<BR>
			CeAppMgr 3.cab<BR>

			it calls it once:

			CeAppMgr 1.cab 2.cab 3.cab

			CEAppMgr can handle multiple cab files in one go, thus is installs all three CAB files through one dialog.

			If you want to change the order in which they get installed, i.e if 2.cab required that 3.cab was already installed, just change the order. e.g:

			<highlight-nsis>
			Function InstallCAB
			ExecWait '"$1" "$0" "$3" "$2"'
			FunctionEnd
			</highlight-nsis>

			Thanks to the Original poster of this tutorial, it helped me out greatly. I hope that my little addendum is of use to someone. apologies if it's messy / incomprehensible, but I'm typing this in a hurry.
