Packaging an Application

Installing Applications
90
Use any of the following methods to package an application for installa-
tion:
S For very simple applications, the application itself might be the only file
that needs to be delivered.
S It could be a directory structure that contains the application, support-
ing files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
S Or, you could package an application via a CAB file.
Consider either of the following when choosing a location into which to
store your application:
S In the basic 700 Series Computer, there are no built-in storage options
other than the Object Store. The Object Store is RAM that looks like a
disk. Anything copied here will be deleted when a cold-boot is per-
formed on the 700 Series Computer.
S If the optional CompactFlash storage card is in the system, then consid-
er this card the primary location for placing an applications install files.
The CompactFlash storage card creates the "\Storage Card" folder.
Files copied to either of these location are safe when a cold-boot is per-
formed on a 700 Series Computer — providing the AutoRun system is
installed onto the storage card. You can find this system on the 700 Mono-
chrome Software Tools CD. Copying a CAB file to the "\CABFILES" folder
on one of these cards automatically extracts that CAB file on every cold-
boot to ensure that your system is properly set up. See page 95 for more
details on how this works.
Consider any of the following options to get the package to the preferred
location on your 700 Series Computer.
S Microsoft ActiveSync
S FTP Server (page 92)
