Adding Programs Using ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows
CE 5.0 Core and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by selecting Start -> Settings ->
Control Panel -> System -> General tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
Generally, software for Windows CE Core devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then
transferred to the ScanPal 5100 terminal.
1. Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the install CD. You may see a
single *.exe or setup.exe file, a *.cab file, or *.dll. (There may also be several versions of files for dif-
ferent device types and processors.)
2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect the terminal to the workstation via an ScanPal 5100 communication peripheral.
If the File is an Installer
An installer program is one that installs to the workstation and the terminal simultaneously; one process
installs to both devices.
1. On the workstation, double-click the *.exe or *.setup.exe file. The installation wizard begins.
2. Follow the directions on the workstation screen.
The installation process includes transferring the software to the terminal.
If the File is Not an Installer
Some programs cannot be installed on workstations because they are designed exclusively for Windows
CE Core devices. In these cases, the appropriate files must be stored on the host workstation and
transferred to the terminal via ActiveSync Explore or Windows Device Mobile File Management.
Note: If an installer because an error message stating that the program is valid but designed for a different type of
computer appears when you try to install the program on the workstation, the program is not an installer.
1. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation,
do one of the following:
a. Open ActiveSync on the workstation and click Explore, or
b. Open Windows Mobile Device Center and click File Management.
2. On the workstation, navigate to the workstation folder containing the program file(s) and copy them
to the Program Files folder on the terminal.
3. On the terminal Desktop, select My Device and, in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where
the program is located.
4. Select the program file to install it.
If you copied the file to the Autoinstall folder (\Autoinstall\Cabfile), you can choose to install
the program by performing a soft reset. The program installs as part of initialization.
5. After installation is complete, access the program by selecting Start -> Programs, and the program
appears on the Programs screen. Select the icon to open the program.
