3-14 Pegaso™ Industrial PDA with Windows ® CE
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 star-
tup 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 executable, and
any command line arguments.
< Autostart option(s)>
arguments>
Sample:
- \windows\pword.exe \file.doc
Table 3-5 breaks down the sample Autostart.ini line.
Table 3-5. Autostart.ini line formatting
Spaces must be placed between each component of the line in the Autostart.ini .
If the executable path is in a folder that contains spaces in the name, quotes are required
to distinguish what the actual executable name is. The following is an example of this:
“\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe” /run (valid)
\Program Files\ScannerApp.exe /run (invalid)
The second line is an invalid line because there is no way to distinguish the executable
from the argument.
AutoStart Options
Table 3-6 shows options you can use when writing a line in the Autostart.ini or
PreAuto.ini file.
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" on
page 3-12.
In the following section, all references to AutoStart.ini also pertain to PreAuto.ini.
