ImportantThe platform settings on this tab are supported only for Windows Mobile 2003 and later devices and, if used, will cause the installation to fail on older devices. These settings can be used alone or in combination with the settings from the Operating System tab, in order to target a post-Windows Mobile 2003 device more accurately.
