Introduction to the MobileView SDK 1-9
PCMCIA
New or upgraded components of application programs and the
operating system can be copied from the PCMCIA memory card to
Storage Card memory to replace and upgrade the existing
components.
In the Windows Explorer, the PCMCIA Memory Card will show up as
an icon named “\Storage Card”.
Application Run Time Environment
Path
The notion of a path to executable files is much the same as with any
other Windows or DOS system. However, unlike other systems, which
refer to an environment variable for path settings, Windows CE
utilizes a registry entry. Thus, the path can be set only by editing the
value of the registry key \HKLM\Loader\SystemPath. Note the use of
spaces to separate items in the path list, as in the following example:
“\Storage Card\bin\ \Storage Card\ \ Storage Card\bin\ \Storage
Card\ ...”
Launching Applications At Start-Up
The Windows CE Registry entries at key HKLM\init determine the
programs that are started during system initialization, and the order in
which they are started. The Windows CE Platform Builder
development tool (not part of the Embedded Visual C 4.x) is used to
establish these Registry entries.
