About Mobile Device Package Editor

Mobile Device Package Editor is an installation development tool that lets you create an

.INF file and compile it to one or more .CAB files that install a mobile device application.

It supports the Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ platform for Pocket PC and Smartphone

devices.

In the Installation Expert interface in Mobile Device Package Editor, you complete dialog

boxes to specify the installation resources and parameters. These installation options

generate the project file in .INF format, which is used to compile the installation .CAB

files.

For advanced customization, you can edit the .INF directly within the Mobile Device

Package Editor. Changes that you make in Installation Expert are automatically reflected

in the .INF file, and vice versa.

You can open an .INF file from any vendor or other third party in the Mobile Device

Package Editor, and compile it to a .CAB. You also can open a Pocket PC .CAB to edit and

recompile it.

Mobile Device Package Editor is included with the following products:

zWise Installation Studio

zWise Package Studio®

The functionality is the same in both products.

About Windows Mobile Installations

The Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ platform supports Pocket PC and Smartphone

devices. A Windows Mobile device installation consists of a single, self-extracting .CAB

file and an optional Setup.dll file. The .CAB file contains all the resources (files, registry

keys, and shortcuts) that comprise the application. The Setup.dll file provides functions

for performing certain operations during the installation and removal of your application.

Mobile Device Package Editor Reference 8

Introduction to Mobile Device Package Editor

Mobile device .CAB files are generated by the CabWiz program from an information file

(.INF). The .INF is a text file that specifies directories, files, settings, and configurations

that are used to install a mobile device application.

(Pocket PC applications only.) A single .INF file can contain information to produce

multiple .CAB files. Example: An application supports the Windows Mobile and Pocket PC

2002 platforms, but several of the application files are platform-dependent. When you

create the installation, you assign the files to the device that supports that platform.

When you compile, the Windows Mobile-specific files are placed in the Windows Mobile

.CAB file, and the Pocket PC 2002-specific files are placed in the Pocket PC 2002 .CAB

file.

A mobile device application can be installed in the following ways:

zThe .CAB file and an .INI file that describes the .CAB are included in an installation

that runs on the desktop computer. The desktop computer contains Application

Manager (CeAppMgr.exe), which is installed with ActiveSync. Application Manager

installs the mobile device application on the device.

zThe end user copies the .CAB file to the mobile device and opens it. The .CAB file

extracts its contents to the directories that were specified in the .INF file.

Uninstall of the mobile device application is controlled by the mobile device and

ActiveSync. Uninstalling the mobile device installation from the desktop computer does

not affect the application that is installed on the mobile device.

To add mobile device .CAB files to a desktop installation:

zWindows Installer installations: use Installation Expert > Mobile Devices page in

Windows Installer Editor.

zWiseScript installations: use the Install Windows Mobile Application script action in

WiseScript Package Editor or Wise Script Editor.

See:

About the Mobile Devices Page in the Windows Installer Editor Help

Install Windows Mobile Application in the WiseScript Package Editor or WiseScript Editor

Help

Starting the Mobile Device Package Editor

The way you start Mobile Device Package Editor depends on which of the following

products you are using.

Select Start > Programs > Symantec > Wise Installation Studio > Mobile Device

Package Editor.

In Wise Package Studio

Do one of the following:

zOn the Projects tab, click the Run link to the right of the task or tool associated with

Mobile Device Package Editor.

zOn the Tools tab, double-click Mobile Device Package Editor.

Page Area

When you click a page name in a page group, this area displays the page’s options. Each

page lets you define a specific aspect of the mobile device package. (Examples: On the

Files page, you define what files are included in the package.) Complete just the pages

that are pertinent to your particular package, in any order. If required information is

missing, an error message appears during compile.

View Navigation

Click these tabs to change views.

Compile

Click the Compile button to build the package.

Using the INF Editor

As you specify settings in Installation Expert, an .INF file is created, containing

information about the installation. The INF Editor lets you view and edit that .INF file.

You might do this to add functionality that isn’t possible with Installation Expert alone.

To display the INF Editor, click the INF Editor tab at the lower left of the main window.

The INF Editor is a basic text editor. Changes that you make in Installation Expert are

automatically reflected in the .INF file, and vice versa.

Warning

The INF Editor does not validate any changes you make to the .INF file. Edit the .INF file

directly only if you have a clear understanding of the .INF file contents and syntax.

Search for “.inf Files for Devices” in the MSDN library (msdn.microsoft.com/library/).

Compiling a Mobile Device Installation

Mobile device .CAB files are generated by the CabWiz program from an information

(.INF) file. The Application Type option on the Application Information page

determines which CabWiz program is used:

zPocket PC applications use Cabwiz.exe.

zSmartphone applications use CabwizSP.exe.

Compiled Files

When you compile an .INF file with the Mobile Device Package Editor, the following files

are created:

zinstallation_name.device_name.CAB

The installation file, containing all the resources (files, registry keys, and shortcuts)

that comprise the application. The compile process creates a .CAB file for the default

device and every additional device that is defined in the installation.

zinstallation_name.device_name.DAT

(Pocket PC only.) Stores the instructions for installing the application.

zWiseErr.txt

Records error messages that result from the compile.

To compile a mobile device installation

1. Click Compile at the lower right of the main window.

If you have not saved the installation, the Save As dialog box appears. Save the

.INF file.
