This section lists the hardware and software requirements for installing BizTalk RFID Mobile.

Hardware Requirements

Software Requirements

To ensure that BizTalk RFID Mobile installs on a mobile device without any errors, ensure that the prerequisites are installed in the suggested sequence: install the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 first, and then install SQL Server CE.

Follow these instructions to download and install the .NET Compact Framework on a mobile device.

1. Download the Windows Installer package for the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 to a computer. The installation package is available at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=108252.

   This downloads a file named NETCFSetupv2.msi to your computer.

2. Establish a connection between the computer and a mobile device. You can use software like Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 or later, or connect to the mobile device using a wireless network.

   To install using ActiveSync

   1. Dock the mobile device with the computer.
      
   2. On the computer, double-click NETCFSetupv2.msi.
      
   3. The installer will install the .NET Compact Framework on the computer, and then on the mobile device.
      

   To install without ActiveSync

   1. Connect the computer and mobile device by any alternative method (for example, over a wireless network).
      
   2. On the computer, browse to the location:
      %programfiles%\Microsoft.NET\SDK\CompactFramework\v2.0\WindowsCE\wce500\armv4i
      
   3. Copy the appropriate .NET Compact Framework installer CAB file to the mobile device:
      
      • For a Windows Mobile P/PC device, copy the file: NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab.
        
      • For a Windows CE 5.0 device, copy the file: NETCFv2.wce5.armv4i.cab.
        
   4. On the mobile device, locate and tap the CAB file. The .NET Compact Framework will be installed on the mobile device.
      

Follow these instructions to download and install SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 (SQL Server CE) on a mobile device.

1. Download the Windows Installer package for SQL Server CE to a computer. The installation package is available at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121673.

   This downloads a file named SSCEDeviceRuntime-ENU to your computer.

2. Establish a connection between the computer and a mobile device. You can use software like Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 or later, or connect to the mobile device using a wireless network.

   To install using ActiveSync

   1. Dock the mobile device with the computer.
      
   2. On the computer, double-click SSCEDeviceRuntime-ENU.
      
   3. The installer will install SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 on the computer, and then on the mobile device.
      

   To install without ActiveSync

   1. Connect the computer and mobile device by any alternative method (for example, over a wireless network).
      
   2. On the computer, browse to the location:
      
      %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices\wce500\armv4i
      
   3. Copy the appropriate SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 CAB file to the mobile device:
      
      • For a Windows Mobile P/PC device, copy the file: sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB.
        
      • For a Windows CE 5.0 device, copy the file: sqlce.wce5.armv4i.CAB.
        
   4. On the mobile device, locate and tap the CAB file to install SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5.
