Creating CAB Files

The Windows CE operating system uses a .CAB file to install an applica-

tion on a Windows CE-based device. A .CAB file is composed of multiple

files that are compressed into one file. Compressing multiple files into one

file provides the following benefits:

• All application files are present.

• A partial installation is prevented.

• The application can be installed from several sources, such as a desktop

computer or a Web site.

Use the CAB Wizard application (CABWIZ.EXE) to generate a .CAB file

for your application.

Creating Device-Specific CAB Files

Do the following to create a device-specific .CAB file for an application, in

the order provided:

1 Create an .INF file with Windows CE-specific modifications (see below).

2 Optional Create a SETUP.DLL file to provide custom control of the

installation process (page 136).

3 Use the CAB Wizard to create the .CAB file, using the .INF file, the

optional SETUP.DLL file, and the device-specific application files as

parameters (page 139).

Creating an .INF File

An .INF file specifies information about an application for the CAB Wiz-

ard. Below are the sections of an .INF file:

[Version]

This specifies the file creator, version, and other relevant information.

Required? Yes

• Signature:“signature_name”

“$Windows NT$”

• Provider:“INF_creator”

The company name of the application, such as “Microsoft.”

• CESignature

“$Windows CE$”

Example

[Version]

Signature = “$Windows NT$”

Provider = “Intermec”

CESignature = “$Windows CE$”
