InstallShield 2012 Spring Express Edition
Use the Mobile Devices view if you are creating an installation that requires a desktop component to be installed along with a mobile device component. When you add a mobile device installation to your project through this view, InstallShield automatically adds it to all of the features that you selected to associate with the mobile device application.
This view enables you to do the following:
| • | Create an installation package for Windows Mobile–powered devices such as smartphones and PDAs. The package installs the necessary Windows Mobile .cab files to the end user's desktop computer first, and then launches the Windows Mobile Application Manager or uses either Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center (for Windows Vista and later) or Microsoft ActiveSync (for Windows XP) to copy the correct files onto the Windows Mobile–powered device. It can also optionally register an icon file on the desktop computer with ActiveSync or Mobile Device Center, so that the icon is displayed within the Windows Mobile Application Manager window. |
| • | Create an installation package for Palm OS devices. The application files can be deployed via HotSync to the Palm OS device. You can target either the device's memory or a storage card. |
| • | Add .cab files that have already been built to an Express project. 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. |
The Windows Mobile Wizard or the Palm OS Wizard launches when you add a mobile device installation to your project. These wizards help you to customize the settings for the devices that you want to target.
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.
Tip: To create a dedicated installation for a smart device application, use the Smart Device project type.
