ActiveSync Page
Desktop ActiveSync Installations represent the most common delivery mechanism for Windows Mobile/CE CAB packages. This is also called registering the application with the "Windows CE Application Manager" ("CEAppMgr.exe", a component of the Microsoft ActiveSync services), which resides on the user's computer. The Application Manager handles the installation and removal of mobile applications (packaged as CABinet files) onto Windows Mobile/CE devices.
This page allows you to specify mobile applications that should be registered with the Application Manager when the MSI package is installed. You can specify the order in which the corresponding CAB packages are installed as well as how they are grouped together, in order to achieve the smallest possible number of prompts from the Application Manager (if this is a requirement).
Creating a new ActiveSync Application Group
Use the toolbar button or the “New Application
Group” context menu option or press the
Insert key while the left tree control is
focused.
Application Groups are used to collect one or more related mobile applications and to register them with the Windows CE Application Manager in one single step (this means there will be only one prompt asking whether to allow the installation on a cradled device).
Creating a new ActiveSync Application
Use the toolbar button or the “New
Application” context menu option or press the
+ key while the left tree control is
focused.
An ActiveSync Application represents a mobile application, but is not necessarily limited to a single CAB package. You can add multiple CAB packages, each one targeting a different platform or device type.
Renaming an ActiveSync Application or Group
Use the “Rename” context menu option or press the F2 key while an ActiveSync Application or Group is selected in the tree control.
The name for an Application Group is only stored in the
project, whereas the name for an ActiveSync Application will also be the name
of the generated Application Manager INI
file. This file will be automatically generated for you by
Advanced Installer based on the information you provide and appears in the Files and Folders page.
Deleting an ActiveSync Application or Group
Use the
toolbar button or the “Delete” context menu option or press
the Del key while an ActiveSync Application or Group is
selected in the tree control.
You can set the order of installation for ActiveSync Applications and
Groups by drag & drop in the tree control.
