I want to be able to push out application updates to windows mobile 5 devices over the air, is this possible? Note, this is just an application, not a rom update.
It doesn’t have to be a strict push. It is just as well to have the user go to a web page and download a .cab file. Has anyone had success doing this?
If by ‘over the air’ you mean wi-fi, then yes, I’ve done this.
At first I gave my users a step by step (close the app, open Internet Explorer, visit this page, click this link etc), but in recent versions of my app I’ve provided an ‘Update’ menu item, which (after prompting) starts a download/run of a cab file before exiting the program. The time it takes to download the cab file is more than enough for the exe to stop running, so there hasn’t been any problem with the process being in memory while it tries to update.
