Packaging

NOTE Applications compiled for Windows Mobile 6 are not backward-compatible with previous versions.
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 MC75A. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL
files, as CAB files, then deploy them to Mobile 6 devices. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Help file for
information on CAB files.

Deployment

To install applications onto the MC75A, developers package the application and all required files into a CAB
file, then load the file onto the MC75A using one of the following options:
•
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.1 or higher
•
Storage Card
•
MSP 3.X
•
AirBEAM
•
Image Update (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 MC75A to a host computer using ActiveSync. See
information.
•
Locate the package file on the host computer.
•
In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the MC75A.
•
Copy the CAB file from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC75A.
•
On the MC75A, navigate to the \temp directory.
•
Tap on the application CAB file. The application installs on the MC75A.

Installation Using Storage Card

To install an application package:
•
