Windows Mobile Wizard/Smart Device Setup Wizard
Note: Since the icon must be installed onto the desktop computer before it can be displayed in the Windows Mobile
Application Manager and Mobile Devices Explorer windows, this option is useful for desktop-to-device installations only.
Specifying the Application Icon
You can either click the Select Icon and then select a custom icon using the Select Icon dialog box, or you
can use the default icon provided. If the icon you select resides within a .dll or executable file, it will be
extracted and saved as an .ico file in the project’s output folder to save space.
When the application is installed, the icon you have selected is displayed next to the application name in
the Windows Mobile Application Manager window.
Associating a File with the Application Icon
In the Device file list, you can specify a file on the Windows Mobile device to be associated with the icon.
When the file is viewed in the Mobile Devices Explorer on the desktop computer, the icon will be
displayed.
Note: Only files with an .exe extension can be associated with the icon.
In the XML Files panel, you have the option to add acceptable configuration XML to the .cab file. The
XML must follow the appropriate WAP provisioning format for the Smartphone development
environment.
The /prexml and /postxml flags are useful if the metabase needs to be updated during the installation of
an application.
