Hi Forum,

Application auto reload after on cold boot: Is there any possibility
of autoreloading pocketpc application on cold reboot. The conditions,
and configuration could be stored in some boot file that could be run
automatically after the device cold boots. SSE technolgies, who we
purchased the Symbol PDAs from , have created such applications.

I have studied the previous links and we do have SD Cards as well. But
autorun.exe somehow doues not work. Please tell me in detail.
Please help me.

ditto on what Alex has said.

do make sure you visit the Symbol Devlopers Zone. they have an entire
'white paper' there entitled "Installing Applications for Persistence v2.0".
a most helpful document.
 
Dear Alex,
I have already gone through those articles. Let me tell you what I have
done.
1. I have created a folder named 2577(coz mine is ARM) under pocketPc's
SD Card.
2. I have written one console application to generate autorun.exe and
placed that under Sd card \2577.
3. I have also copied my CAB files under Sd card \2577.
4. The autorun.exe copies the CAB File from SD Card \2577 to Temp folder
and then calls wceload to install it into the device.

Now the problem is while removing and inserting the SD Card the
autorun.exe does not get called automatically. But if i click on it then
it is performing desiredly.
What shall I do? Where have I went wrong ???
Shall I need to write any autorun.ini to instruct the exe.

Please help.
 
Which device are you using? There seem to be models that do not support
the autostart feature.
 
Hi tamberg,

I am currently using Toshiba e800 PocketPC. Yes you are absolutely
rightly said that it behaves differently in different PDA's. Just like
the same code runs in my Dell PocketPC.
If the device is Pocket PC 2003 or higher then we can write Manage code
otherwise we need to write unmanage code to run in PocketPC 2002
devices.
Do you have any sample unmanage code to do it. If yes then please
provide.
Thanx in advance.
