InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition
You can add to your project an installation for Windows Mobile–powered devices such as smartphones and PDAs.
Note: ActiveSync 3.x or later or Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed on the desktop computer in order to run a desktop-to-device installation. Active Sync 4.x or Windows Mobile Device Center is required for Windows Mobile 5.x and later devices.
To add an installation for a Windows Mobile–powered device:
| 1. | Create the desktop installation that will be used to install the components of your application to the end user's desktop machine. This also sets up your application to be installed on the Windows Mobile–powered device the next time that it is synched with the desktop computer. |
Note: You are not required to add anything to the desktop. You can use the desktop installation solely to deploy the application to Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.
| 2. | Add the Windows Mobile installation to your project: |
| a. | In the View List under Specify Application Data, click Mobile Devices. |
| b. | Right-click the Mobile Device Installations explorer and click New Windows Mobile. The Windows Mobile Wizard opens. |
| c. | Follow the wizard panels to customize the installation. |
When you add an installation for a Windows Mobile–powered device to your project, InstallShield automatically adds it to all of the features that you selected to associate with the Windows Mobile application.
When you build a release for the installation, InstallShield creates an installation that installs your application to the end user's desktop machine and to the Windows Mobile–powered device. For more information, see Building an Installation for a Mobile Device.
Launching the Windows Mobile Wizard as Part of an InstallShield Project Within Microsoft Visual Studio
If your mobile device installation requires a desktop component, you can create the desktop component by adding an InstallShield project from the Add New Project dialog box in Visual Studio. Then add an Windows Mobile–powered device installation as described above. You can associate the project output groups with the Windows Mobile installation.
