When a cab file is installed using M3.ini, the program will be installed on the Device. Install location selection is not provided. Therefore, installing a program to Flash Disk or Storage Card is not possible.

 

Launching a Program when Storage Card is inserted

 

Automatically launching a program when a storage card is inserted can be done by creating a well know folder called ‘2577 ’(MCStart folder for Windows CE).

First, 2577 folder must be created at the root folder of the storage card.

Then, Autorun.exe file that executes the necessary files must be located in the 2577 folder.

‘M3ScanTest’ program is used as an example in this document.

As soon as SD card is inserted in SD card slot, below screen will be showed up.

Note: 2577 is a system folder so that the folder is hidden.
