How do I add a EULA to my windows mobile cab installer?

I am in the process of writing a few small windows mobile apps in C# using VS 2008 with the .Net CF 3.5. I can't seem to find any information on how to add the EULA to the installation cab. I would like to have the end user accept the EULA prior to install or exit the install if declined. This is very easy to do using VS '08 with a regular PC app, however I have yet to find out how to do so when it comes to using the .Net CF with C#. I have found some old embedded code techniques, which may work if p/invoked, but if there is a more appropriate way to do so with C# and the .Net CF I would like to do so. If someone could walk me through it (tutorial) or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I believe you can use the product on the following link to do such a think.

I had been using a packaging think I had tinkered with to do what I needed, but I might see about investing in this!

I just tried it out, and yes, if you click YES, it will continue to install, if you click No it says "You will now leave the installer"

So for around $40 seems pretty neat! GUI is a little basic, but maybe with customising it, you can improve the look.
