Hi,

I need to have a cab automatically install. I thought there was a
directory I could just copy the file to, what is that directory? (for
wm 2003 and wm 2005)

Thanks

Stick in on your SD card and it will auto-install on insert of the card.

What is the device ? It has a Flash Memory with a persistent part that
will have de OS if any problem occurrer you can put the cab there to,
and it will install it automatically every time that the PDA make the
initial cofigurate.

and I want it to run everytime the device is reset.

I understand, at any devices have this memory flash that has the os any
other programs that is reinstal if you do a cold boot, read at the
manual of the PDA if it has this and where is this. If exist you can
put your cabs there and it will reinstall if have a cold boot. One
doubt this PDA have any "reset" that before you do it, it reinstall all
factory things ?

Make a folder in the flash storage area \storage folder\2577 and make
an app named autorun.exe which installs your cab. Your app simply uses
wceload to install the cab. E.g:

CreateProcess("wceload.exe", "\"\\storage folder\\Pharm_PPC.cab\"", 0,
0,
0, 0, 0, 0)

How this works is that when you hard reset it mounts the flash storage
and searches for the autorun folder just as it does if it was an SD
card being inserted.

Cheers,

Sorry for not specifying, I mean a normal reset. I guess I'll have to
use the Startup folder.
