Installing the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync


Before you register your application for use with ActiveSync, you must install the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync using the installation utility (dbasinst.exe).

The MobiLink provider for ActiveSync includes a desktop component and a device component. You must configure the provider for each device that synchronizes through your desktop machine.

When you have installed the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync you must register each application separately. For instructions, see Registering applications for use with ActiveSync.

To install the MobiLink provider for ActiveSync

  1. Ensure that you have the ActiveSync software on your machine, and that the Windows CE device is connected.

  2. Enter the following command to install the MobiLink provider:

    dbasinst -k desk-path -v dev-path

    where desk-path is the location of the desktop component of the provider (dbasdesk.dll) and dev-path is the location of the device component (dbasdev.dll).

    If you have SQL Anywhere installed on your machine, dbasdesk.dll is in the win32 subdirectory of your SQL Anywhere directory and dbasdev.dll is in a platform-specific directory in the CE subdirectory. These directories are default search locations, and you can omit both the -k and -v options.

    For more information, see ActiveSync provider installation utility.

  3. Restart your machine.

    ActiveSync does not recognize new providers until the machine is restarted.

  4. Enable the MobiLink provider.
