Interactive CAB Install
If the CAB installer requires user interaction that must be performed during
the AutoStart CAB installation process, you can specify a special file name to
disable the silent mode installation. If this mode is specified, the CAB file will
be installed with
Wceload without any command line arguments specified.
An example of what AutoStart would execute is:
\Windows\Wceload.exe
To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to
include a ‘
_’ character before the “.cab” extension of the file.
Example:
“ File.cab” should be renamed “File_.cab” to force AutoStart to not
install the CAB in silent mode. This specially-named CAB file should be
placed in the AutoStart folder with other CAB files intended for installation
on the next reboot.
Autostart.ini
Autostart.ini and PreAuto.ini are text files that AutoStart will run
upon startup of the Falcon, and after any CAB files are installed. This file
should be placed in the AutoStart folder. AutoStart will run the
Autostart.ini file on each reboot of the device.
Line Formatting
Each line of the Autostart.ini can consist of Autostart options, an exe-
cutable, and any command line arguments.
< Autostart option(s)>
Sample:
- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc
Table 3-4 breaks down the sample Autostart.ini line.
Autoexec.ini, which uses AutoCE on some older models, has been deprecated. These files should
be renamed to Autostart.ini and reformatted as described in AutoStart, p. 3-6.
In the following section, all references to AutoStart.ini also pertain to PreAuto.ini.
