Installing Applications on the CK32 I-Safe
There are several ways you can install applications on the CK32 
I-Safe: 
• You can package your application as a cabinet (.cab) file.
• 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 using .cab files to install your applications. 
The CK32 I-Safe uses standard Windows Mobile .cab files and 
will install third-party .cab files. You can have your .cab files place 
your application in any of these memory locations on the CK32 
I-Safe: 
• Applications can be installed into the Object Store or the 
Flash File Store.  Both locations are virtual partitions on the 
embedded storage card in the system.  The Object Store will 
be erased during a ‘clean’ boot, but the Flash File store will 
persist.  Neither location will be erased during a normal reset 
of the system.  The registry always persists to the Object Store 
region for normal resets.  If you need files and/or registry 
entries to persist through a ‘clean’ boot, it is suggested that 
you use a cab file installed from the Flash File Store area.  For 
more information on ‘clean’ boots, see “Resetting Your 
Computer” on 
There are several ways you can install files and applications on the 
CK32 I-Safe:
• SmartSystems server
• ActiveSync
• Wavelink Avalanche
The following sections explain how to use each one of these 
processes to install your application on the CK32 I-Safe.
