Installing Applications Using SmartSystems Foundation

CN4 Series Mobile Computer User's Manual
• The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the
small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that
rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab
file into the Flash File Store so that they are "ready-to-run" when
you perform clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited
number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive
writing.
Files copied to any of these locations are safe when you cold boot the
computer as long as the AutoRun system is installed in the
appropriate location. When you copy a .cab file to the \CabFiles
folder, the folder automatically extracts that .cab file on every cold
boot. For more information about AutoRun, see the Intermec
Developer's Library (IDL) Resource Kit Developer's Guide which is available
from www.intermec.com/idl.
There are several ways you can install files and applications on the
