To Create CAB Files

This process only applies to Mobile Win CE devices which have been deprecated by Microsoft Windows.

These steps describe how to build a CAB files that contains the profile so the device can be setup to run as a Thin or Mobile client.

Step 1. Build the CAB file in the Mobile Development Studio.

Step 2. Select the Transfer CAB method.

Step 3. Connect and initiate Active Synchronization.

or Connect via a Wireless session.

AFTER CAB file (profile) is installed.

1. From the Windows Start button on the mobile device, click Programs and then the RFgen client. A splash screen displays the version of the client installed on the mobile device. This version should match the software running on the server.

2. After the splash screen, the RFLogin screen is the typical first form. In this case, the RFLogin screen shown is from the sample applications shipped with the software.

3. To show the soft menu buttons press the specific F key or perform an action that executes the language extension MenuStrip.Show. The configurable menu buttons appear as well as the client configuration menu option. Click the configuration menu option for features such as authentication, resetting the connection or exiting the application.

In the case of the mobile client, the menu may have the Authorization option. If the client has wireless access to the server and the server has Internet access (and the client is allowed to be authorized) then this option will authorize the client device and the menu option will disappear. The other options are to reset the connection between the client and server which makes sense if the client is wirelessly connected and exit the client.

This form can be bypassed and the user could be presented with a menu or another form if desired. If a desktop password has been configured, the user must enter that password before being exited back to the desktop.
