Chapter 3 — Configuring the Computer
CK60 Handheld Computer with Windows Mobile User’s Manual 81
• If the optional Secure Digital storage card is in the system, then consider
this card the primary location for placing an applications install files.
This storage card creates the “\Storage Card” folder.
• Use the small nonvolatile Flash File Store region to hold CAB files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a CAB file
into the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a cold-boot or
clean-boot is performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited
number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writ-
ing purposes; however, reading is okay.
CAB files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .cab, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread over
several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application
decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s
system. Intermec recommends using CAB files to install your applications.
The CK60 uses standard Windows Mobile CAB files and does install third-
party CAB files.
For the CK60, CAB files register DLLs, create shortcuts, modify registry
entries, and run custom setup programs. Tap a CAB file to extract that file
or place the CAB file on one of the approved storage devices in the
“\CabFiles” folder, then perform a warm-boot on the CK60. There are two
methods available to extract a CAB file:
• Tap a CAB file to extract it. With this method, the CAB file is automat-
ically deleted when the extraction process is successful, unless the CAB
file is set with the read-only attribute.
• Use the AUTOCAB method to extract all files when a cold-boot or
clean-boot is performed on the CK60. This method is in the IDL via the
Intermec web site.
