as RAPIConfig, may not work properly. Refer to the Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for finding
information on Remote API security policies.
Packaging
Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier
to deploy and install an application to the MC45. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL
files, as CAB files, then deploy them to Mobile 6 devices. Refer to the Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3
Help file for information on CAB files.
Deployment
To install applications onto the MC45, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB file,
then load the file onto the MC45 using one of the following options:
•
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or higher
•
Storage Card
•
AirBEAM
•
MSP
•
Image Update (for updating the operating system).
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for information on CAB files.
Installation Using ActiveSync
To install an application package:
•
Connect the MC45 to a host computer using ActiveSync. See Chapter 3, ActiveSync for more
information.
•
Locate the package file on the host computer.
•
In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the MC45.
•
Copy the CAB file from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC45.
•
On the MC45, navigate to the \temp directory.
•
Tap on the application CAB file. The application installs on the MC45.
Installation Using Storage Card
To install an application package:
•
Copy the package CAB file to a storage card using an appropriate storage card reader.
•
Install the storage card into the MC45. See Installing a microSD card on page 1-2 for more information.
•
On the MC45, open File Explorer.
