Installing CAB files
Copy any CAB files you want to install into the AutoStart CAB folder. These CAB files
will then be automatically installed in alphabetical order the next time you start the
device.
How AutoStart Uses Wceload
CAB files are installed by AutoStart using the Wceload.exe application. Table 3-4 on
page 3-13 shows available command line options:
Table 3-4. AutoStart command line options
Please refer to the Microsoft documentation on your device for further details on Wce-
load.exe
.
Sample:
\Windows\Wceload.exe /delete 1 /noui /silent “\Flash-
Disk\CAB\<cab file>”
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 <cab file>
To force this mode of installation via AutoStart, rename the CAB file to include a ‘_’
character before the “.cab” extension of the file.

manually or review the section on “Interactive CAB Install” in this chapter.
CAUTION

from being deleted, write protect the file before copying the file onto the device.
