4 - 6 MC45 Integrator Guide
6. The MC45 re-boots.
7. The calibration screen appears.
microSD Card
To install an update loader package using a microSD card:
1. Copy all the update loader package files to the root directory of a microSD card.
2. Install the microSD card into the MC45. See Installing a microSD card on page 1-2 for installation
instructions.
3. Connect the MC45 to AC power. See Chapter 2, Accessories.
4. Perform a cold boot.
5. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold
the right programmable button.
6. The Update Loader application looks for the update loader file in the root directory of the microSD card.
When it finds the file, it loads the update loader package onto the MC45. A progress bar displays until the
update completes.
7. The MC45 re-boots.
8. The calibration screen appears.
XML Provisioning
To configure the settings on an MC45, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the MC45,
create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file:
_setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the
XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC45. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating
success or failure.
XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the MC45 (i.e., registry and file system).
However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have
certain privileges (roles). Some registry keys require you to simply be an Authenticated User, while other
registry keys require you to be a Manager. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help
file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3.
For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged
certificate installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file and the
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 SDK for instructions and sample test certificates.
Creating an XML Provisioning File
To create a .cpf file:
1. Create a valid provisioning XML file named _setup.xml using an XML editor or the tools supplied with
Visual Studio 2005. (For example, use the SampleReg.xml sample created in the RegMerge section and
rename it _setup.xml.) Ensure the file contains the required parameters for the operation. Refer to the
Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for information.
