Deploying applications to Windows Mobile and Windows desktops

You must carry out the following steps to deploy an UltraLite application to a Windows Mobile device:

Deploy your application and UltraLite component. See UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere quick start.
Deploy an initial copy of the UltraLite database. See UltraLite for M-Business Anywhere quick start.

In many situations it is enough to deploy an UltraLite database. You can use synchronization to load an initial copy of the data.

You must place the database so that it can be located by the application. The Database On CE connection parameter defines the location for Windows Mobile. The Database on Desktop connection parameter defines the location for Windows. See:
- UltraLite CE_FILE connection parameter
- UltraLite DBF connection parameter

Deploying applications requiring synchronization

Synchronization requires a set of files, including: ulconnect.exe, ulconnect.udb, ulpod12.dll, and ulrt12.dll. For Windows Mobile, these files are located in file ulpod.cab in the directory install-dir\ultralite\UltraLiteForMBusinessAnywhere\ce\arm\. When you deploy the cab file to a Windows Mobile device, it installs its contents in the proper locations automatically. For Windows, the required files must be deployed manually from the directory install-dir\ultralite\UltraLiteForMBusinessAnywhere\win32\386\.
