Noob question...I have developed an app, made the cab file, installed it, noticed some changes I want to make to the app. What do I do about the existing cab file in the solution as far as do I need to name my next one something different, do I make revisions in the code and then just add another cab file to the project, and what will happen to the old cab file if I make a new one in the solution/project
Thanks.

You just rebuild the CAB and that's it. For minor revisions you should keep the product name in the CAB so it would replace existing one if already installed on device.
If it's major version of your product you¡¯d need to change the product name and CAB would install side by side with existing one.
ok... when I reopen the solution, the cab file shows up on the Solution Explorer, but I don't have the 'build cab file' option in the Build menu...I assume that means adding a new cab file to the project...I will try that and name it the same as before and see what happens....thanks for your response.

I¡¯m not quite sure I follow¡ If you have a project which builds CAB you just build that project to get updated CAB.
Similar, you just build your executable project every time your change the source code instead of creating new project with the same name every time.
