249700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
The system software looks for the following directory structure and files on
the installed media card whether it be an SD card or CF card or embedded
flash file system. No other folders need exist.
\2577\autorun.exe
\2577\autorun.dat
\2577\autocab.exe
\2577\autocab.dat
\cabfiles\*.cab
Creating CAB Files with CAB Wizard
After you create the .INF file and the optional SETUP.DLL file, use the
CAB Wizard to create the .CAB file. The command-line syntax for the
CAB Wizard is as follows:
cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]
A batch file, located in <program> directory, with the following com-
mands, works well:
cd\“Windows CE Tools”\WCE211\”MS HPC Pro”\support\appinst\bin
cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\<program>\<inf_file_name>
cd \appsoft\<program>
S “inf_file”
The SETUP.INF file path.
S dest_directory
The destination directory for the .CAB files. If no directory is specified,
the .CAB files are created in the “inf_file” directory.
S error_file
The file name for a log file that contains all warnings and errors that are
encountered when the .CAB files are compiled. If no file name is speci-
fied, errors are displayed in message boxes. If a file name is used, the
CAB Wizard runs without the user interface (UI); this is useful for au-
tomated builds.
S cpu_type
Creates a .CAB file for each specified microprocessor tag. A micropro-
cessor tag is a label used in the Win32 SETUP.INF file to differentiate
between different microprocessor types. The /cpu parameter, followed by
multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.
Example
This example creates .CAB files for the SH3 and MIPS microprocessors,
assuming that the Win32 SETUP.INF file contains the SH3 and MIPS
tags:
cabwiz.exe “c:\myfile.inf” /err myfile.err /cpu sh3 mips
Note: CABWIZ.EXE, MAKECAB.EXE, and CABWIZ.DDF (Windows
CE files available on the Windows CE Toolkit) must be installed in the
same directory on the desktop computer. Call CABWIZ.EXE using its full
path for the CAB Wizard application to run correctly.
