Downloads and Source Code: Remote App Updater

RemoteAppUpdater .cab

Download Version 1.0.0.4 from Google Code

The MobiRnD RemoteAppUpdater application, compiled for Windows Mobile 5.0/6.0 devices and zipped into a device installation (.cab) file.

To install the RemoteAppUpdater, copy this file to your device using ActiveSync or by other means (downloading from a server/email), locate the .cab using the "File Explorer" (sometimes called "File Manager") application on your device, select the .cab to run it.

You may install the AppUpdater on your device or your device storage card.

Once you have the RemoteAppUpdater installed, you will need to add a settings XML file for each application you want the RemoteAppUpdater to update.

You can find the AppUpdater installed in \Program Files\RemoteAppUpdater (on the device) or \Storage Card\Program Files\RemoteAppUpdater (on the storage card). From your device or using ActiveSync, create a subfolder called "settings" within the RemoteAppUpdater directory. Within this subfolder, add your settings XML files. The name of the file does not matter, as long as it has an .xml extension and is within this folder.

The contents of the XML file should follow this format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appupdater>
	<application_exe>EXECUTABLE FILENAME</application_exe>
	<application_folder>FULL PATH OF APP FOLDER</application_folder>
	<urls>
		<url>URL FROM WHICH UPDATED FILES CAN BE DOWNLOADED</url>
	</urls>
</appupdater>
application_exe
 OPTIONAL the filename of the executable, found in application_folder, that will be killed before the update takes place and restarted after the update
application_folder
 REQUIRED the full path to the application folder; use the constant "INSTALL" to indicate that the RemoteAppUpdater should first check the device (root directory "\") and then check the storage card ("\Storage Card\")
urls
 REQUIRED a list of URLS where updated files for the application can be found
urls: url
REQUIRED URL to folder, with HTTP WEB DAV enabled, that has updated files that can be downloaded

 

Example for the SimpleSurvey.exe application (updater_SimpleSurvey.xml) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<appupdater>
	<application_exe>SimpleSurvey.exe</application_exe>
	<application_folder>\INSTALL\Program 
		  Files\SimpleSurvey\</application_folder>
	<urls>
		<url>http://YOURSERVER/software/build/</url>
		<url>http://YOURSERVER/software/User303/</url>
	</urls>
</appupdater>
