Complete Autorun Application

[Guest lllr]

I have attached a complete autorun application that runs the first .cab file it finds in the same directory as autorun.exe on the storage card. It has been tested on PocketPC 2002 and Smartphone 2002 devices.

Just a little tip about posting source code. You can safely delete the X86Dbg, X86Rel, ArmDbg, ARMRel directories. You can delete files ending .vco, .vcl, .vcb, .aps and .vcw (unless you are using multiple projects). This will reduce the zip file size from 900kb to about 6kb!

Also, if you want to ship the actual executable then delete the contents of the ARMRel directory except for your autorun.exe.

Can somebody explain what this actually does?

Well I havent tested this, but I think it works like this:

You put the proggy in a folder on your Storage Card. And when you want to install cab files, you put one in the same folder as Autorun. Then you run autorun (from a short cut in the start menu) and it runs the cab file you put in its folder.

So it saves you from searching for the file via Smart Explorer!

At least, that's what I think it does!

Put autorun.exe in a directory called 2577 off the root of the Storage Card. Put a cab file in that same directory. When you insert the storage card the CAB file is automatically installed.

I realize this is an old topic, yet relevant to this autorun app., which I may add, does work for WM5 on my prophet.

Is there any way to run multiple cab files at once on the phone :??:

I suspect that if you put them in a folder (eg. \2577\*.*) you should be able to execute installation of all cabs. Only thing may be switching off the certificate check (which I did) and setting the app. to install to the storage card always (didn't do this... I'm sure it can be done).

Hope you all can help, in this fine forum ;)

Cheers,
