Wes -> Auto Installing files on Windows CE Device - Removing install prompt (11/10/2007 12:05:33 PM)

I could not see a Windows CE category on the forum so this is the next best place!

Device = Symbol PPT8800, Windows CE.

I am using the symbol cpy file and also editing the registry in order to copy files from the permanent memory to the windows folder on cold boot. The registry edit executes the copied files on cold boot.

However I get a prompt "Install Here", each time a file is about to be executed. This means on cold boot the user has to click "OK" each time they are prompted to install a setup file.

Does anyone know how to disable the prompt and install the files automatically?

Here is an extract from the reg file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog12]
"Name"="\windows\wceload.exe"
"Command"="\Windows\3_xOpenNETCF.SDF.WCE4.ARMV4.CAB"
"Continue"=dword:0
"ColdBootOnly"=dword:1

Hi Pete,

thanks, that does look exactly like the solution. However it doesnt run the file now at all on cold boot. Can you verify that I am applying the command line syntax ok. I have tried both methods below.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog10]
"Name"="\windows\wceload.exe"/noaskdest
"Command"="\Windows\1_xnetcf.all.wce4.armv4.cab"
"Continue"=dword:0
"ColdBootOnly"=dword:1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog10]
"Name"="\windows\wceload.exe /noaskdest"
"Command"="\Windows\1_xnetcf.all.wce4.armv4.cab"
"Continue"=dword:0
"ColdBootOnly"=dword:1

Its ok, I have found the correct syntax, as follows. Works prefect, thanks for your help [:)]


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog11]
"Name"="\windows\wceload.exe"
"Command"="/delete 1 /noaskdest /noui \Windows\2_xsymbol.all.arm.cab"
"Continue"=dword:0
"ColdBootOnly"=dword:1

Hi,
there are some more detail here

Dunno how it would run from the registry though - sorry.

Are there not details with the symbol?




Wes -> RE: Auto Installing files on Windows CE Device - Removing install prompt (11/15/2007 8:24:34 AM)

Hi,

Symbol made available Prog10-20 in there registry setting
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\...]

First of all I copy the files to the windows location (using .cpy file - again, this is symbol specific). Then I add the registry setting as above. I have it working ok now.

If anyone wants any further info on how to do this, let me know!

Hi Wes,
I have the somewhat same problem... I will be grateful for any help provided.... actually i am programming for a symbol GUN MC3090. In this if i delete a profile "Symbol Out of Box Magic" and do a warm boot then it does not display the profile entry when checked through "Manage profiles" but if it is deleted and do a cold boot then the profile reappears in "Manage Profile"... what i want is when i delete the profile and do a cold boot then it should not appear again in "Manage profile"... Please help me in this ??
