Chapter 14: Adding Mobile Device Support to Installations<br />

Adding an Installation for a Windows Mobile–Powered Device to Your Project<br />

Adding an Installation for a Windows Mobile–<br />

Powered Device to Your Project<br />

You can add to your project an installation for Windows Mobile–powered devices such as smartphones<br />

and PDAs.<br />

Note: ActiveSync 3.x or later or Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed on the desktop computer in order to run<br />

a desktop-to-device installation. Active Sync 4.x or Windows Mobile Device Center is required for Windows Mobile 5.x and<br />

later devices.<br />

Task To add an installation for a Windows Mobile–powered device:<br />

1. Create the desktop installation that will be used to install the components of your application to the<br />

end user’s desktop machine. This also sets up your application to be installed on the Windows<br />

Mobile–powered device the next time that it is synched with the desktop computer.<br />

Note: You are not required to add anything to the desktop. You can use the desktop installation solely to deploy the<br />

application to Windows Mobile Device Center or ActiveSync.<br />

2. Add the Windows Mobile installation to your project:<br />

a. In the View List under Specify Application Data, click Mobile Devices.<br />

b. Right-click the Mobile Device Installations explorer and click New Windows Mobile.<br />

The Windows Mobile Wizard opens.<br />

c. Follow the wizard panels to customize the installation.<br />

When you add an installation for a Windows Mobile–powered device to your project, <strong>InstallShield</strong><br />

automatically adds it to all of the features that you selected to associate with the Windows Mobile<br />

application.<br />

When you build a release for the installation, <strong>InstallShield</strong> creates an installation that installs your<br />

application to the end user’s desktop machine and to the Windows Mobile–powered device. For more<br />

information, see Building an Installation for a Mobile Device.<br />

Launching the Windows Mobile Wizard as Part of an <strong>InstallShield</strong> Project Within<br />

Microsoft Visual Studio<br />

If your mobile device installation requires a desktop component, you can create the desktop component<br />

by adding an <strong>InstallShield</strong> project from the Add New Project dialog box in Visual Studio. Then add an<br />

Windows Mobile–powered device installation as described above. You can associate the project output<br />

groups with the Windows Mobile installation.<br />
