Usage:
AutoCab [-ChkRst=][-File=][-Force][-Log=][-Move=][-Quiet=][-Show=][-Signal=]
-ChkRst= Set to 1 to configure AutoCab to check for the Reset flag after all CAB files are installed. This file is cre-
ated by CAB files that want a warm reset after installation. Default is 0 (do not check for flag).
-File= Specifies the CAB files to extract. Note that the specified files need not end with the .CAB extension.
-Force Forces the specified CAB files to extract regardless of whether it was previously extracted.
-Log= Set to 1 to create a log file in the same folder that AutoCab is running. Useful for debugging CAB
installation. Default is 0 (disabled).
-Move= Set to 1 to force source CAB file deletion, even when read-only bit set on file. Default is 0 (disabled).
-Quiet= Set to 0 to allow AutoCab to display user message box on errors. Useful for debugging CAB installation.
Default is 1 (keep quiet).
-Show= Set to 0 to prevent showing any installation progress interfaces. Also prevents user from canceling instal-
lation. Set to 1 to show normal installation. Set to 2 to show Intermec installation progress interface
(user can see what is installing but cannot cancel it). Default is 1 (show normal).
-Signal= Set to string name of signal to use at the completion of CAB installation before a reboot occurs (if
enabled). AutoCab uses WaitForSingleObject on this name. Default is disabled.
Example:
; Install all cab files in the \Flash File Store\XYZ directory, regardless.
AutoCab -FILE="\Flash File Store\XYZ\*.cab" -FORCE
; Install only one cab file, use Intermec cab installation display
AutoCab -FILE="\myCab\app.cab" =show=2

AutoCab only installs the CAB file if it was not installed before by Auto-
Cab. To track the installation of a CAB file, AutoCab marks the CAB file
with the System attribute. This attribute is ignored if the device is perform-
ing a cold-boot on a non-persistent file system.
AutoCab preserves the CAB file after installation if the ReadOnly attribute
is set. If not set, the CAB file is deleted automatically after installation.
Command line switches are described below.
If <PathName> references a single CAB file, that file is processed. If <Path-
Name> references a directory, all the .CAB files in that directory is pro-
cessed. If <PathName> is a wild card pattern, all files matching that pattern
is processed, If <PathName> is omitted, InstallCab processes all the .CAB
files in directory "\CabFiles."
If you have several processes that you need running in a specific order as the
CN30 Computer turns on, you can use the AutoRun system to customize
the way applications load. For compatibility with other Intermec comput-
ers, you can place a copy of AUTORUN.EXE in the same folder as your
AUTORUN.DAT file but it is not required.
