INSTALLATION
Advanced Users Only!
For Windows Mobile, you can install SocketScan 10 software directly from a CAB
(cabinet) file instead of using the installation wizard. A CAB file contains all the
software and drivers needed to install your product on a particular Pocket PC
platform. CAB files are available in the SocketScan 10 installation CD (in the CABs
folder) and coming soon online at:
http://www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads/data-collection/series7/ss10/
If you have the Socket SoMo 650 running Windows Mobile 6 Service Pack 8 or
later, SocketScan 10 is pre-loaded on the device. To install, in the Today screen,
tap Getting Started and choose the option to install SocketScan 10.
In order to install the CAB file, you need a way to transfer the CAB file to your
Pocket PC, such as:
Use Windows Mobile Device Center to transfer the CAB file to your Pocket PC.

memory card, then insert the memory card into your Pocket PC.
If your Pocket PC has Internet access, download the CAB file directly from
