If you do not want to use the application installer to install the Socket Mobile software,
you can install a CAB (cabinet) file.
CAB files are available both on the installation CD and online at:
http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads/
In order to install the CAB file, you need a way to transfer the CAB file to your
Windows Mobile-based device, such as:
•
Use the Windows Vista Mobile Device Center or Microsoft ActiveSync to transfer
the CAB file to your Windows Mobile device. ActiveSync 4.0 or greater is
required.
•
Use a memory card reader to save the CAB file from your desktop PC to a
memory card, then insert the memory card into your Windows Mobile-based
device.
