Chapter 4 - Developing and Installing Applications Installing Applications on the CV30 There are several ways you can install applications on the CV30: • You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file. • If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver the .exe file. • You can copy a directory structure that contains the application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files. Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The CV30 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place your application in any of these memory locations on the CV30: • The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the system flash memory. This storage is not erased during a reset. Although it might be erased during the reflashing process. In addition to storing applications and data files, you have the option to store persistent registry to the Flash File Store region. • The optional SD card. If you are using an SD card, this should be the primary location to place application installation files. • The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are "ready-to-run" when you perform clean boot. Since the flash in the system has a limited number of write cycles, do not use the Flash File Store for excessive writing.

Installing Applications on the CV30
There are several ways you can install applications on the CV30:
You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.
If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver
the .exe file.
You can copy a directory structure that contains the
application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.
Intermec recommends using .cab files to install your applications.
The CV30 uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and will
install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place
your application in any of these memory locations on the CV30:
The Object Store or the Flash File Store. The Object Store is a
DiskOnChip® flash that looks like a disk. The Flash File Store
is an area of storage which is embedded in a section of the
system flash memory. This storage is
not
erased during a reset.
Although it might be erased during the reflashing process. In
addition to storing applications and data files, you have the
option to store persistent registry to the Flash File Store
region.
The optional SD card. If you are using an SD card, this
should be the primary location to place application
installation files.
The non-volatile Flash File Store region of the storage. Use
the small non-volatile Flash File Store region to hold .cab files
that rebuild the system at clean boot or install applications
from a .cab file into the Flash File Store so that they are
“ready-to-run” when you perform clean boot. Since the flash
in the system has a limited number of write cycles, do not use
