Advanced Users Only!
For Windows Mobile, you can install SocketScan 10 software directly from a CAB
(cabinet) file instead of using the installation wizard. A CAB file contains all the software
and drivers needed to install your product on a particular Pocket PC platform. CAB files
are available in the SocketScan 10 installation CD (in the CABs folder) and coming soon
online at: http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads/data-collection/series7/ss10/
If you have the Socket SoMo 650 running Windows Mobile 6 Service Pack 8 or later,
SocketScan 10 is pre-loaded on the device. To install, in the Today screen, tap Getting
Started and choose the option to install SocketScan 10.
