This type of project allows you to create CABinet packages that can be used to install applications on Windows Mobile/CE platforms. Advanced Installer creates the CAB from scratch without any other tool being involved in the package authoring process.
There are several delivery options for deploying the CAB packages obtained by building this project type into Smart Devices:
- Desktop ActiveSync Installation or registering the application with the "Windows CE Application Manager" (a component of the Microsoft ActiveSync services). This is the most common delivery mechanism.
- The user downloads the CAB package from a Web Site using a browser such as Internet Explorer Mobile - the CAB file is automatically launched after the download completes.
- The CAB file is copied onto a storage card (MMC, SD, Compact Flash etc) and launched from there.
