Develop and Install Applications
Use the Intermec Resource Kits and the CV41 Software Development Kits to develop
applications to run on the computer. The Resource Kits are a library of C++, .NET, Java,
and web components grouped by functionality that you can use to create applications
for the computer. The Resource Kits are part of the Intermec Developer Library (IDL),
and can be downloaded from the Honeywell website at
www.honeywellaidc.com .
For more information, see the Intermec Developer Library Resource Kit Developer Guide .
Package Your Application
For very simple applications, the executable file may be the only file you need to deploy.
More typically, you will have a set of files to install.
Honeywell recommends using .cab files to install your applications. The computer uses
standard Windows CE .cab files and will install third-party .cab files.
Choose a Target Location
Place your application in any of these memory locations on the computer:
• The ObjectStore.
• The optional SD card. Depending on available disk space, consider installing your
application files on the SD card. Using a card creates the \SD Card folder on the
computer.
• The \System folder. Applications and data in the \System folder will persist through
a clean boot.
Install Applications Using SmartSystems Foundation Console
You can use the SmartSystems console to drag-and-drop applications onto your com-
puter. The console is part of SmartSystems Foundation.
1. Download your application file from the Honeywell website and unzip it on your
desktop PC.
2. Double-click the application file to install it. The application file should appear in the
Software Vault.
3. From the SmartSystems console in the Software Vault, drag-and-drop the
application onto each computer in your network, or drop the application on a group
of computers contained in a folder.
Install Applications Using Microsoft ActiveSync
When you only have a few computers to update with applications, you can copy files
using Microsoft ActiveSync. This procedure assumes that Microsoft ActiveSync is
installed on your PC and is up and running.
