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 MC55. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL files, as
CAB files, then deploy them to devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for information on CAB
files.
Deployment
To install applications onto the MC55, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB file, then
load the file onto the MC55 using one of the following options:
•
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or higher
•
Storage Card
•
MSP 3.2
•
AirBEAM
•
Image Loader Image (for updating the operating system).
Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for information on CAB files.
Installation Using ActiveSync
To install an application package:
•
Connect the MC55 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 MC55.
•
Copy the CAB file from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC55.
•
On the MC55, navigate to the \temp directory.
•
Tap on the application CAB file. The application installs on the MC55.
Installation Using Storage Card
To install an application package:
•
Copy the package CAB file to a microSD storage card using an appropriate storage card reader.
•
Install the storage card into the MC55. See Installing a microSD Card on page 1-2 for more information.
