Chapter 14: Adding Mobile Device Support to Installations
Adding an Installation for a Palm OS Device to Your Project
Adding an Installation for a Palm OS Device to
Your Project
You can use InstallShield to create an installation package for Palm OS devices.
Task To add an installation for a Palm OS device:
1. Prepare your application by compiling your code in a development tool that supports Palm OS.
2. Create the desktop installation that includes the Palm OS files that are to be installed on Palm OS
devices.
3. Add a Palm OS installation to your project:
a. In the View List under Specify Application Data, click Mobile Devices.
b. Right-click the Mobile Device Installations explorer and click New Palm OS. The Palm OS
Wizard opens.
c. Follow the wizard panels to customize the installation.
When you add an installation for a Palm OS device to your project, InstallShield automatically adds it to
all of the features that you selected to associate with the Palm OS application.
When you build a release for the installation, InstallShield creates an installation that installs your
application files to the Palm OS device via a storage card, or they can be downloaded directly to the
device over a network or the Internet. For more information, see Building an Installation for a Mobile
Device.
Adding Existing .cab Files to Your Project
If you have .cab files that have already been built for an Express project, you can add them to your
installation to create a Windows Mobile package.
If you would like to add more than one .cab file to a single Windows Mobile installation, see Special
Considerations for Adding Multiple .cab Files.
Note: ActiveSync 3.x or later or Windows Mobile Device Center must be installed on the desktop computer in order to run
a desktop-to-device installation. Active Sync 4.x or Windows Mobile Device Center is required for Windows Mobile 5.x and
later devices.
