CHAPTER 4 APPLICATION DEPLOYMENT
FOR WINDOWS EMBEDDED
HANDHELD 6.5.3
Introduction
This chapter describes new features in Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 including new security features,
how to package applications, and procedures for deploying applications onto the MC45.
Security
The MC45 implements a set of security policies that determine whether an application is allowed to run and, if
allowed, with what level of trust. To develop an application, you must know the security configuration of the
device, and how to sign an application with the appropriate certificate to allow the application to run (and to run
with the needed level of trust).
Application Security
Application security controls the applications that can run on the MC45.
•
Trusted - All applications must be digitally signed by a certificate on the MC45.
•
Prompted - User is prompted to allow unsigned applications to run.
•
Open - All applications run.
Developers can include their own certificates and provision the device to “trusted.”
Digital Signatures
Digital signatures provide a way to authenticate the author of EXEs, DLLs, and packages. Digitally signed
applications give users confidence that an application comes from where they think it comes from. For
example, if an end-user downloads an update package from the internet that is digitally signed with Motorola's
software certificate, they are assured that the package is authentic and that it was created by Motorola. By
enforcing the use of digital signatures, users can also prevent malicious applications from executing on the
MC45. For example, users can provision the MC45 to only execute “trusted” applications (digitally signed).
Motorola ships all Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 based products in an “open” state, which means all
signed and unsigned applications should work. However, customers can still reconfigure their MC45s to
Page 54
4 - 2 MC45 Integrator Guide
operate in the “trusted” mode. This means that only applications signed with a certificate from the Privileged
Execution Trust Certificate Store can run.
To support the broadest number of deployments, third-party software developers should perform the following
when releasing software for a Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 devices:
•
Sign all their EXEs & DLLs with their private key
•
Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into Privileged
Execution Trust Certificate Store.
If the software is installed via a .CAB file, developer should also:
•
Sign the .CAB file with their private key
•
Provide the corresponding public certificate to end-users so that it can be installed into SPC Certificate
Store.
Locking Down a Mobile Computer
Like most configuration options in Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3, security settings are set via XML
provisioning. For example, to enforce the “trusted” model and only allow applications signed with a privileged
certificate to run, use the following provisioning document:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type=”SecurityPolicy”>
<!-- Disallow unsigned apps -->
<parm name= “4102” value= “0”/>
<!-- No Prompt -->
<parm name= “4122” value= “1”/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
For more information on various security options, refer to the Security Policy Settings topic in the latest
Windows Mobile documentation.
Page 55
Application Deployment for Mobile 6 4 - 3
Installing Certificates
Use XML provisioning to query and delete certificates from certificate stores. To add a new certificate the
Privileged Execution Trust Certificate Store, use the following sample provisioning document:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “CertificateStore”>
<characteristic type= “Privileged Execution Trust Authorities”>
<characteristic type= “657141E12FA45786F6A57CA6464032D4B3A55475”>
<parm name= “EncodedCertificate” value= “
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text.
This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. This is sample text. = “/>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
To create your own provisioning document with real certificate information:
1. Obtain a certificate from a security provider such as VeriSign.
2. Double-click on the certificate file (.CER) to open it.
3. Click on the Details tab and locate the Thumbprint field.
4. Copy the contents of the Thumbprint field and replace the value in the XML example above.
5. Click the Copy to File… button.
6. Click Next to start the Certificate Export Wizard.
7. Select Base-64 encoded X.509 (.CER) and then click Next.
8. Set the File Name to CertOutput.xml and click Next.
9. Click Finish to export the certificate.
10. Open the exported file, CertOutput.xml, in a text editor (i.e., NotePad).
11. Copy the contents of the file (excluding the first line, last line, and CR/LF) and replace the value of the
“EncodedCertificate” parameter in the xml example above.
Device Management Security
You can control access to certain device settings and security levels, such as installing applications and
changing security settings. Refer to the Windows Mobile Version 6 Help file for information on device
management security.
Remote API Security
The Remote API (RAPI) enables applications that run on a desktop to perform actions on a remote device.
RAPI provides the ability to manipulate the file system on the remote device, including the creation and
deletion of files and directories. By default, Motorola ships with RAPI in the restricted mode. Certain tools, such
Page 56
4 - 4 MC45 Integrator Guide
as RAPIConfig, may not work properly. Refer to the Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for finding
information on Remote API security policies.
Packaging
NOTE Applications compiled for Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 are not backward-compatible with
previous versions.
Packaging combines an application's executable files into a single file, called a package. This makes it easier
to deploy and install an application to the MC45. Package new applications and updates, such as new DLL
files, as CAB files, then deploy them to Mobile 6 devices. Refer to the Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3

Update Loader Image
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 contains an Image Update feature that updates all operating system
components. All updates are distributed as update packages. Update packages can contain either partial or
complete updates for the operating system. Motorola distributes the update packages on the Support Central
Web Site, http://supportcentral.motorola.com
To update an operating system component, copy the update package to the MC45 using one of a variety of
transports, including ActiveSync, an microSD memory card, AirBEAM or MSP.
Download Update Loader Package
1. Go to the Motorola Support Central web site, http://supportcentral.motorola.com
2. Download the appropriate update loader package to a host computer.
3. Locate the update loader package file on the host computer and un-compress the file into a separate
directory.
ActiveSync
To install an update loader package using ActiveSync:
.
1. Connect the MC45 to a host computer using ActiveSync. See Chapter 3, ActiveSync, for more information.
2. In ActiveSync on the host computer, open Explorer for the MC45.
3. Copy all the update loader package files from the host computer to the \temp directory on the MC45.
4. On the MC45, navigate to the \temp directory.
5. Tap on the update loader file, STARTUPDLRD.EXE. The Update Loader application installs the update

4. Perform a cold boot.
5. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold
the right programmable button.
6. The Update Loader application looks for the update loader file in the root directory of the microSD card.
When it finds the file, it loads the update loader package onto the MC45. A progress bar displays until the
update completes.
7. The MC45 re-boots.
8. The calibration screen appears.
XML Provisioning
To configure the settings on an MC45, use XML provisioning. To install an XML provisioning file on the MC45,
create a Cabinet Provisioning File (CPF). A CPF file is similar to a CAB file and contains just one file:
_setup.xml. Like a CAB file, the CPF extension is associated with WCELoad.EXE. Opening a CPF extracts the
XML code and uses it to provision and configure the MC45. The user receives an e-mail notification indicating
success or failure.
XML provisioning provides the ability to configure various features of the MC45 (i.e., registry and file system).
However, some settings require security privileges. To change registry settings via a CPF file, you must have
certain privileges (roles). Some registry keys require you to simply be an Authenticated User, while other
registry keys require you to be a Manager. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help
file, Metabase Settings for Registry Configuration Service Provider section, for the default role settings in
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3.
For those registry settings that require the Manager role, the CPF file must be signed with a privileged
certificate installed on the device. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file and the
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 SDK for instructions and sample test certificates.
Creating an XML Provisioning File
To create a .cpf file:
1. Create a valid provisioning XML file named _setup.xml using an XML editor or the tools supplied with
Visual Studio 2005. (For example, use the SampleReg.xml sample created in the RegMerge section and
rename it _setup.xml.) Ensure the file contains the required parameters for the operation. Refer to the
Microsoft Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for information.
Page 59
Application Deployment for Mobile 6 4 - 7
2. In the Windows Embedded Handheld tools directory on the desktop computer (typically \Program
Files\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 6 Pocket PC SDK\Tools), run the Makecab.exe utility,
using the following syntax to create a .cpf file from the _setup.xml file:
MakeCab.exe /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml myOutCpf
NOTE COMPRESS=OFF is required for backward compatibility with Pocket PC.
3. Optionally, use the Authenticode tools to sign the .cpf file.
4. Tap the filename to install.
5. Certain applications and settings require a cold boot to take affect. In these cases, cold boot the MC45.
Refer to the Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 Help file for more information.
XML Provisioning vs. RegMerge and Copy File
Prior to Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3, Motorola used two drivers (RegMerge and CopyFiles) to update
the registry and to copy files during a cold boot. With Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3, Motorola
recommends using XML provisioning instead. RegMerge and CopyFiles are supported for backward
compatibility but Motorola may eliminate support in the future. The following sections provide examples of how
RegMerge and CopyFiles were used, and how to perform the same function using XML provisioning.
RegMerge
RegMerge.dll is a built-in driver that allows updating the registry during a clean boot. RegMerge runs very early
in the boot process and looks for registry files (.reg files) in certain Flash File System folders (i.e., \Application)
during a clean boot. It then merges the registry changes into the system registry located in RAM.
The following example uses RegMerge to set a registry key:
SampleReg.reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight]
“BacklightIntensity”=dword:00000036
The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:
SampleReg.xml
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “Registry”>
<characteristic type= “HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Backlight”>
<parm name= “BacklightIntensity” value= “54” datatype= “integer” />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
CopyFiles
CopyFiles copies files from one folder to another on a clean boot. During a clean boot CopyFiles looks for files
with a .CPY extension in the root of the Application FFS partition. These files are text files containing the
source and destination for the desired files to copy, separated by “>”.
The following example uses CopyFiles to copy a file from the \Application folder to the \Windows folder:
Page 60
4 - 8 MC45 Integrator Guide
SampleCpy.cpy
\Application\example.txt > \Windows\example.txt
The following example uses XML provisioning to perform the same task:
SampleCpy.xml
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type= “FileOperation”>
<characteristic type= “\Windows” translation= “filesystem”>
<characteristic type= “MakeDir”/>
<characteristic type= “example.txt” translation= “fileystem”>
<characteristic type= “Copy”>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
<parm name= “Source” value= “\Application\example.txt” translation= “filesystem”/>
Storage
Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 contains three types of file storage:
•
Random Access Memory (RAM)
•
Persistent Storage
•
Application folder.
Random Access Memory
Executing programs use RAM to store data. Data stored in RAM is lost upon a warm boot. RAM also included
a volatile file storage area called Cache Disk.
Volatile File Storage (Cache Disk)
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 memory architecture uses persistent storage for all files, registry settings,
and database objects to ensure data is retained even after a power failure. Persistent storage is implemented
using Flash memory technology which is generally slower than volatile RAM memory. In certain situations the
speed of the operation is more important than the integrity of the data. For these situations, Motorola has
provided a small volatile File Storage volume, accessed as the Cache Disk folder. Disk operations to the Cache
Disk folder are much faster than to any of the persistent storage volumes, but data is lost across warm boots
and power interruptions. Note that a backup battery powers RAM memory, including the Cache Disk, when you
remove the main battery for a short period of time.
The MC45 uses the Cache Disk for temporary data that can be restored from other sources, for example, for
temporarily “caching” HTML web pages by a browser or generating formatted files to send to a printer. Both
situations benefit from the increased speed of the cache disk, but you can restore the data if needed.
DO NOT use the Cache Disk as a method to improve application performance. Analyze applications that
perform slower in persistent storage to optimize disk access. Common areas for optimization include
Page 61
Application Deployment for Mobile 6 4 - 9
minimizing the number of reads and writes to a file, removing unneeded debug logging, and minimizing file
flushing or closing files.
Persistent Storage
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 protects all data and applications from power-related loss. Because
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5.3 mounts the entire file system and registry in persistent storage (rather
than using RAM), MC45 devices provide a reliable storage platform even in the absence of battery power.
Persistent storage provides application developers with a reliable storage system available through the
standard file system and registry APIs. Persistent storage is optimized for large reads and writes; therefore,
applications reading and writing data in large chunks tend to outperform those applications reading and writing
small blocks of data. Data in persistent storage is lost upon a clean boot.
Persistent storage contains all the directories under the root directory except for Application, Cache Disk, and
Storage Card (if a storage card is installed). Persistent storage is approximately 650 MB (formatted).
Application Folder
The Application folder is a super-persistent storage that is persistent even after a clean boot. Accessing data in
the Application folder is slower than accessing persistent storage. The Application folder is used for
deployment and device-unique data. For example, network profiles can be stored in the Application folder so
that connection to the network is available after a cold boot. The Application folder is approximately 96 MB
(formatted).
Enterprise Mobility Developer Kits
The Motorola Enterprise Mobility Developer Kit (EMDK) family of products allows you to write applications that
take advantage of the capture, move and manage capabilities of the MC45. Go to the Support Central
( http://supportcentral.motorola.com
) to download the appropriate developer kit.

Cleaning the MC45
Housing
Using the alcohol wipes, wipe the housing including keys and in-between keys.
Display
The display can be wiped down with the alcohol wipes, but care should be taken not to allow any pooling of
liquid around the edges of the display. Immediately dried the display with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to prevent
streaking.
Scanner Exit Window
Wipe the scanner exit window periodically with a lens tissue or other material suitable for cleaning optical
material such as eyeglasses.
Connector
1. Remove the main battery from mobile computer.
2. Close battery door.
3. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
4. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator back-and-forth across the connector on the bottom of
the MC45. Do not leave any cotton residue on the connector.
5. Repeat at least three times.
6. Use the cotton tipped applicator dipped in alcohol to remove any grease and dirt near the connector area.
7. Use a dry cotton tipped applicator and repeat steps 4 through 6.
CAUTION Do not point nozzle at yourself and others, ensure the nozzle or tube is away from your face.
8. Spray compressed air on the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the
surface.
9. Inspect the area for any grease or dirt, repeat if required.
Cleaning Cradle Connectors
To clean the connectors on a cradle:
Page 81
Maintenance & Troubleshooting 7 - 5
1. Remove the DC power cable from the cradle.
2. Dip the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator in isopropyl alcohol.
3. Rub the cotton portion of the cotton tipped applicator along the pins of the connector. Slowly move the
applicator back-and-forth from one side of the connector to the other. Do not let any cotton residue on the
connector.
4. All sides of the connector should also be rubbed with the cotton tipped applicator.
CAUTION Do not point nozzle at yourself and others, ensure the nozzle or tube is away from your face.
5. Spray compressed air in the connector area by pointing the tube/nozzle about ½ inch away from the
surface.
6. Ensure that there is no lint left by the cotton tipped applicator, remove lint if found.
7. If grease and other dirt can be found on other areas of the cradle, use lint free cloth and alcohol to remove.
8. Allow at least 10 to 30 minutes (depending on ambient temperature and humidity) for the alcohol to air dry
before applying power to cradle.
If the temperature is low and humidity is high, longer drying time is required. Warm temperature and dry
humidity requires less drying time.
Cleaning Frequency
The cleaning frequency is up to the customer’s discretion due to the varied environments in which the mobile
devices are used. They may be cleaned as frequently as required. However when used in dirty environments it
may be advisable to periodically clean the scanner exit window to ensure optimum scanning performance.
