Building an Installation for a Mobile Device

InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition

Your mobile device installation is built when you build the desktop installation that your mobile device installation is part of.

If your project includes a Windows Mobile device installation, the resulting Setup.exe—and other files if the release was built uncompressed—contains all of the logic required to configure Microsoft ActiveSync on the desktop machine to install the application and, if necessary, the .NET Compact Framework on the device.

If your project includes a Palm OS device, the resulting Setup.exe—and other files if the release was built uncompressed—contains an installation that installs your application files to the Palm OS device via a storage card, or they can be downloaded directly to the device over a network or the Internet.
