About the Mobile Devices Page
Note
To see the Mobile Devices page, select one of these views from the Page Views drop-
down list in Installation Expert: All, Palm Application, or Windows Mobile
Application.
Use the Mobile Devices page to configure a Windows Installer installation to install files
that support a mobile device application.
This lets you install the main application to a desktop computer and simultaneously
install support for any mobile device that the user has. The ability to install to multiple
platforms at once, including Windows, simplifies the installation process for you and the
end user.
The Mobile Devices page supports the following platforms:
z
Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ platform for Pocket PC and Smartphone
z
Palm OS
If the installation supports the Pocket PC 2002 platform, you also can install the .NET
Compact Framework, a version of .NET designed for mobile devices. If you don’t have
the .NET Compact Framework runtime, and you include it in the installation, the
Download Redistributables wizard appears during compile and prompts you to download
it.
