InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition
If you have .cab files that have already been built for an Express project, you can add them to your installation to create a Windows Mobile package.
If you would like to add more than one .cab file to a single Windows Mobile installation, see Special Considerations for Adding Multiple .cab Files.
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 existing .cab files for a Windows Mobile–powered device to your project:
| 1. | Prepare your .cab files if you have not already done so. The .cab files can be created by using the Smart Device Setup Wizard, or they can be some other Windows Mobile–compatible .cab files that you have on your machine. |
| 2. | Create the desktop installation that will be used to install the features 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 product through ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
| 3. | Add the .cab files 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.
