The Handy Terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as dragging and dropping
or copying and pasting as you would for moving files between folders on your hard drive.
10.12. Adding Programs via ActiveSync
WARNING: When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows Embedded
Handheld 6.5 Pro and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start -> Settings -> System -> About -> Version
tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
Generally, software for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Pro devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then
transferred to the Handy Terminal.
1. Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the install CD. You may see a single *.exe or
setup.exe file, a *.cab file, or *.dll. (There may also be several versions of files for different device types and processors.)
2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect the terminal to the workstation via a Handy Terminal communication peripheral.
If the File is an Installer
An installer program is one that installs to the workstation and the terminal simultaneously; one process installs to both
devices.
1. On the workstation, the *.exe or *.setup.exe file. The installation wizard begins.
2. Follow the directions on the workstation screen.
The installation process includes transferring the software to the terminal via ActiveSync.
If the File is Not an Installer
Some programs cannot be installed on workstations because they are designed exclusively for Windows Embedded
Handheld 6.5 Pro devices. In these cases, the appropriate files must be stored on the host workstation and transferred to
the terminal via ActiveSync Explore.
☞NOTE: If an error message stating that the program is valid but designed for a different type of computer appears when you try to install the
program on the workstation, the program is not an installer.
1. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, open ActiveSync or
Windows Mobile Device Center on the workstation and click Explore.
2. On the workstation, navigate to the workstation folder containing the program file(s) and copy them to the Program Files
folder on the terminal.
If you want the program to persist through hard resets, save the program to the
Autoinstall \ Cabfile folder(\AutoInstall\Cabfile).
3. On the terminal Desktop, File Explorer in Windows Menu navigate to the folder where the program is located.
4. Tap on the program file to install it.
If you copied the file to the Autoinstall\Cabfile folder, you can choose to install the program by performing a hard reset.
The program installs as part of initialization.
