To install ActiveSync applications

1. Ensure that the end-user has:

   • The ActiveSync Manager installed.
   • The ActiveSync provider files copied from a development computer to the user's hard drive.

2. Run mlasinst to install a provider for ActiveSync. You can also use it to register and deploy the UltraLite application to the user's Windows Mobile device—depending on the command line syntax you use. If your UltraLite application uses multiple files, you must manually copy the required files.

   The following example assumes that both mlasdesk.dll and mlasdev.dll are in the current directory. The -k and -v options are used . The -p and -x options are command line options for the application when it is started by ActiveSync.

   mlasinst "C:\My Files\myULapp.exe" "\Program Files\myULapp.exe" "My Application" MYAPP -p -x -v -k

   If you were to use this utility to deploy a pre-compiled CustDB for the ARM 5.0 processor, the command line would be similar to the following one:

   mlasinst -v "install-dir\UltraLite\ce\arm.50" "install-dir\UltraLite\ce\arm.50\custdb.exe" custdb.exe CustDB CUSTDBDEMO

   Note

   You can also use the ActiveSync to register your UltraLite application at a later time if you choose. See Registering applications with the ActiveSync Manager.

3. Restart your computer so ActiveSync can recognize the new provider.

4. Enable the MobiLink provider.

   1. From the ActiveSync window, click Options.
   2. Check MobiLink Clients in the list and click OK to activate the provider.
   3. To see a list of registered applications, click Options, choose MobiLink Clients, and click Settings.
