Installing CAB files

Copy any CAB files you want to install into the AutoStart CAB folder. These CAB files will then be automatically installed in alphabetical order the next time you start the device.

How AutoStart Uses Wceload

If you intend to create highly interactive installers, you should either install the CABs manually or review the section on “Interactive CAB Install” in this chapter.

In certain environments, CAB files will be deleted after execution. To prevent the CAB file from being deleted, write protect the file before copying the file onto the device.

CAUTION

CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application.
