The system software looks for the following directory structure and files on
the installed media card whether it be an SD card or CF card or embedded
flash file system. No other folders need exist.

\2577\autorun.exe
\2577\autorun.dat
\2577\autocab.exe
\2577\autocab.dat

Creating CAB Files with CAB Wizard

After you create the .INF file and the optional SETUP.DLL file, use the
CAB Wizard to create the .CAB file. The command-line syntax for the
CAB Wizard is as follows:

cabwiz.exe “inf_file” [/dest dest_directory] [/err error_file] [/cpu cpu_type
[cpu_type]]

A batch file, located in <program> directory, with the following com-
mands, works well:

cabwiz.exe c:\appsoft\<program>\<inf_file_name>
cd \appsoft\<program>

“inf_file”

The SETUP.INF file path.

dest_directory

The destination directory for the .CAB files. If no directory is specified, the .CAB files are created
in the “inf_file” directory.

error_file

The file name for a log file that contains all warnings and errors that are encountered when the
.CAB files are compiled. If no file name is specified, errors are displayed in message boxes. If a file
name is used, the CAB Wizard runs without the user interface (UI); this is useful for automated
builds.

cpu_type

Creates a .CAB file for each specified microprocessor tag, which is a label used in the Win32 SE-
TUP.INF file to differentiate between different microprocessor types. The /cpu parameter, fol-
lowed by multiple cpu_type values, must be the last qualifier in the command line.

Example

This example creates .CAB files for the ARM and MIPS microprocessors,
assuming the Win32 SETUP.INF file contains the ARM and MIPS tags:

cabwiz.exe “c:\myfile.inf” /err myfile.err /cpu arm mips

Note: CABWIZ.EXE, MAKECAB.EXE, and CABWIZ.DDF (Windows
CE files available on the Windows CE Toolkit) must be installed in the
same directory on the desktop computer. Call CABWIZ.EXE using its full
path for the CAB Wizard application to run correctly.
