How to Install an MCL Application

Overview

Use MCL-Loader V4 to install MCL applications (applications developed within MCL-Designer) and external packages (ex: created with PDK Builder) into your devices.

This procedure involves the installing of a PDK file.

An MCL application's PDK file is the result of the application's publication or generation (operations within MCL-Designer) and it is placed in the "deploy" sub-folder of the application's folder.

Before installing MCL applications, make sure that the target devices have the compatible MCL software (MCL-Client) installed. See How to Install Software in a Device.

Make sure that your device is connected to the PC where MCL-Loader V4 is installed (via USB for Windows Mobile/Windows CE devices/via Wifi for Windows Mobile/Windows CE and Android devices).

Step-by-step

1. Open MCL-Loader V4.

2. Click the "MCL Application Installation" option.

3. Select the type of connection you want to establish by checking the corresponding option:

USB (Windows Mobile Device Center)

Check this option, if you intend to use a USB connection between MCL-Loader V4 and your device, and follow the steps described in Via USB Connection.

This option ONLY applies to Windows Mobile/Windows CE devices.

If your computer does NOT have Windows Mobile Device Center installed, this option will be greyed out.

Ethernet/Wifi

Check this option, if you intend to use a Wifi connection between MCL-Loader V4 and your device, and follow the steps described in Via Ethernet/Wifi Connection.

This type of connection can be used for Windows Mobile/Windows CE or Android devices.

If your target device is an Android device, this is the ONLY connection you can use.
