Source Pathname
This is the full path of the file on your computer. To replace this file, specify a
new file.
Destination File Name
Enter the name for the file when it is installed on the mobile device.
File Copy Errors
Specify how the installation should respond if a file error occurs during the
installation of this file.
Skip silently if error occurs
Do not install this file and do not notify the end user if an error occurs.
Warn if attempting to skip

Increment Shared .DLL Count
Mark this to increment the counter for this file (if it is a .DLL, .OCX, or .VBX) in
the registry of the mobile device. The shared .DLL counter prevents the file
from being uninstalled if any programs are still using it.
Self-Register File
Some files (examples: .OCXs and some .DLLs) support self-registration. Mark
this to have the file register itself in the registry of the mobile device.
Replace Existing File
Specify how the installation should respond if the file being installed is already
on the mobile device.
Install Only if File Already Exists
Mark this to install this file only if a file of the same name already exists in the
installation directory of the mobile device.
