Chapter 5 Application Deployment for Windows CE Introduction This chapter describes new features in Windows CE 6.0 including how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the MC9190-G. Packaging Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier to deploy and install an application to the MC9190-G. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL files, as CAB files, then deploy them to the MC9190-G.
5-2 MC9190-G Integrator Guide • If developing applications for Windows Mobile 6.5 or Windows CE 6.0 • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2005 • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack1 (or) • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2008 • Microsoft® Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack1 • One or more of the following Platform SDK's: • Windows Mobile 6 Professional and Standard Software Development Kits Refresh • For Windows CE embedded development use the Motorola Platform SDK (PSDK) for your specific device.
Application Deployment for Windows CE 5-3 NOTE If both Microsoft Visual C++ v3.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ v4.0 are installed on the development computer, ensure Microsoft Visual C++ v4.0 launches. Installing Other Development Software Developing applications for the MC9190-G may require installing other development software, such as application development environments, on the development PC. Follow the installation instructions provided with the software.
5-4 MC9190-G Integrator Guide RegMerge.dll RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows registry edits to be made to the Windows CE registry. Regmerge.dll runs very early in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders during a cold boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.
