Description

Files

The Files box is where you add application files to your Windows Mobile installation or your Smart Device project. When you add a file to this box, you also need to specify its properties, such as which platforms and processors support it. You must add at least one file in order to continue with the wizard.

Note: Each file added should be at least 1 byte in size.

Compress CAB

If you want to InstallShield to compress the .cab files that it creates for the Windows Mobile–powered devices at build time, select this check box.

Suppress Display Warning

Some legacy mobile device platforms include support for portrait mode but not landscape mode. Therefore, in some circumstances, the installation for a mobile device displays the following warning:

The program you have installed may not display correctly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.

To prevent this warning from ever displaying, select this check box.

For more information, see Suppressing the Display Warning for Legacy Mobile Device Applications.
