Usage
-
Navigate to the solution file (*.sln), and double-click it. By default, the solution files are copied to the following folders:
C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK\Samples\Common\CPP\Win32\SetupDLL
Microsoft Visual Studio launches and loads the solution.
-
Build the solution (Ctrl+Shift+B).
-
Deploy the solution (F5).
-
During the installation and the uninstallation, SetupDLLis invoked, and prompts the user for confirmation to perform either the installation or the uninstallation of an application.
-
During installation, CfgClientinvokes the cfgclient Push-Clientwith the "/register" parameter, so that the client can register itself with the push-router during the installation.
-
During uninstallation, CfgClientis invoked with the "/unregister" parameter, so that the client can unregister itself with the Push-Router.
Remarks
SetupDLLis a user-interactive sample of a setup.dll that can be included in CAB files to perform complex installation and uninstall operations.
In its default form, SetupDLLis designed to work as the setup dll for the WAP Provisioning Clientcode sample — should it be encapsulated in a CAB file.
To use the application, you must package it with an application in a .CAB installation archive file.
