Use WinRAR to create the Windows Mobile Software PC installation package
Are you sure you have created an installation package in Microsoft cab format?I don't need to talk about it here. In Microsoft's help file and msdn, I will explain a lot about how to compile. inf and how to package it. For example, you can search for the cabwiz or. inf keyword in EVC helps to find the relevant method. For example, you have prepared a sample. Cab installation package.
WinRAR installedThis can be downloaded online. Remember to use the genuine version. Of course, you can also use WinZip or any compression software that can make self-extract (SFX.
Compile a. ini fileThe file content is very simple. After writing it in notepad, save it as sample. ini [ceappmanager] version = 1.0 Component = sample [sample] Description = Installation Package example uninstall = samplecabfiles =./sample. Cab
Prepare installpackage.exeInstallpackage.exe is a small program written by me. The principle is to find the location of the ceappmgr. EXE file in the registry. This file is the component used to install the program in ActiveSync, and then install it as a parameter. The program source code is as follows. The compiling environment is vc6.0. However, if you are using the source code, note that I use Unicode instead of the default MBCS macro of VC. Therefore, remember to remove MBCS from the C/C ++ option of the project, change it to _ Unicode, and replace it with Unicode. Of course, do not like friends can modify the source code, if you need to compile the file, please send to my mailbox nbcool@yeah.net request. Here, we would like to remind you that the current path symbol "./" is essential in executing installpackage.exe./xxx. ini with parameters. // Installpackage.
