Intermec cn2a User Guide

You can develop web-based data collection applications for use 
on the CN2A. For help, see any HTML source book. 

The CN2A contains Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 for Windows CE 
for you to use. The Microsoft standard IE 6.0 is available from 
the desktop and provides all of the common elements you expect 
to find. 

There are three approaches to installing applications on the 
CN2A: 

• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file. 

Intermec recommends this approach.

• If you have a simple application, you may only need to deliver 

the .exe file.

• You can copy a directory structure that contains the 

application, supporting files, DLLs, images, and data files.

Intermec recommends that you:

• use .cab files to install your applications. The CN2A uses 

standard Windows CE .cab files and will install third-party 
.cab files. After the CN2A executes a .cab file, it deletes the 
.cab file. 

• store your applications in a folder specific to your application 

under the \Program Files folder. These applications are 
deleted during a cold boot. 

• make sure that .cab files are saved after being executed and 

that applications are reinstalled during a cold boot by 
following the instructions in “Setting Up Applications to 
Persist Through a Cold Boot” on page 94. 

• store your application data in one of the folders described in 

the next table.
