Packaging Applications for the Computer
Use any of these methods to package applications for installation:
• You could package an application as a cabinet (.cab) file. Recommended
• For simple applications, the application itself may be the file to deliver.
• It could be a directory structure that contains the application, supporting
files like ActiveX controls, DLLs, images, sound files, and data files.
Consider any of the following when choosing a location into which to store
your application:
• In the basic CK60, there are two built-in storage options: the Object
Store and the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a Disk on Chip
(DOC) Flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of
storage which is embedded in a section of the system FLASH memory.
This storage area is not erased during a cold-boot. It may, however, be
erased during the reflashing process.
• If the optional Secure Digital (SD) storage card is in the system, then
consider this card the primary location to place applications installation
files. The “\SD Card” folder represents the SD card.
• Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that
rebuild the system at cold-boot or install applications from a .cab file into
the Flash File Store so they are “ready-to-run” when a cold-boot is
performed. Since the FLASH in the system has a limited number of
write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing
purposes; however, reading is okay.
Cab files (short form of “cabinet” files) are compressed folders as defined by
Microsoft. A “cabinet” file is a single file, usually suffixed with .cab, that
stores compressed files in a file library. A compressed file can be spread over
several cabinet files. During installation, the setup application
decompresses the files stored in a cabinet and copies them to the user’s
system. Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CK60 uses standard Windows CE .cab files and does install
third-party .cab files.
