AirWizard was designed to be easy to use.
Double click on the Teksoft AirWizard icon on your desktop, or click in your Start menu.You will see the following screen:

This is the first step of the AirWizard. Each step shows a short description, so you may want to read the instructions presented on screen. When done press Next. If you no longer wish to start with this page next time you launch AirWizard check the "Don't start with this page again" checkbox and press Next.

At this step you will have to configure the parameters for your installer. A valid title and company / user name need to be inserted in the coresponding edit boxes in order to proceed further. If you wish to load an already created project push the browse button near the title edit field

Note that title name cannot contain any of the following characters: \, /,:,*,\",?,<,>,| .

By checking the Eula or ReadMe checkboxes respectivly you will enable file browsing of TEXT (*.txt) files and HTM(L) (*.htm, *html) files. Eula files are displayed in the installer at the begining, ReadMe files at the end. These options are very important for companies who wish to have their users acknowledge important information related to the software embeded in the installer. If you wish to build a more compact installer (and also have Eula and Readme dialogs skipped in the installation process do not use this features).

Let the wizard create an installer to be copied to removable storage card by checking "Create output for removable card".

For more experienced users you can enable an advanced settings pannel on the mobile device that pops up right before the actual installation takes place and enables the user to override a few settings like installation folder for devices prior to Windows Mobile 5.0, reset device when installer finishes, resume installer if one of the cabinet files soft-resets the device durring the installation process, silent install ( the user will not be prompted for any input during the installation. By default, prompts are answered with 'Yes'), and debug output for troubleshooting the installation process. By default only resume if one the cabinet files soft-resets the device is enabled.

Before building the installer the desktop component of AirWizard enables you to check all the settings made at the previous steps if and when you enable "Show Project overview details" checkbox.

By using the "Splash" option you will enable the installer to display a splash image at the begining. Note that the desktop installer only supports loading *.jpg or *.jpg formats otherwise a light blue background is displayed. On the mobile device side the *.png format is also supported. Otherwise the background screen is white for the intro page.

The main feature of this step is the possibility to enable powerful filters for platform, operating system version and processor manufacturer.


By default all settings are enabled (all the cabinet files embeded in the installer will be executed on each device you run the installer on). What happens when you wish to enable some of the filters. We will take as a working example the first group with "Platform filters" as main filter and "PocketPC" and SmartPhone" as secondary filters. When you enable one of the main filters (Platform, OS or Processor) you have to enable at least one of the filters it subsequently enables (i.e for "Platform filters" checkbox enabled you have to check at least one of the two - "PocketPC" or "SmartPhone"), otherwise you will not be able to proceed to the next step. Now if you only enable one of the secondary filters (i.e in this case "PocketPC" or "SmartPhone" the others in the group will be defaulted to "No" i.e do not install, if no other configuration selection has already been made in prior to this). We will continue with this working example in the next step. Note that all the rules above apply for the other sets of filters also.


A few clicks and our installer is ready. Using the add and remove buttons located on the right side of the list you can add and remove entries in the list. "insert" (for add) and "delete" (for remove) keys are also supported with the same functionality. Note that only one entry can be removed at a time, and one or multiple entries can be added using the browse dialog. Also drag and drop of cabinet files from an outside source is supported. By using the up and down arrows you can set the installation order of the cabinet files to the one that suits your needs.

When adding cabinet files to the list the usefull information (such as Title and Vendor or support devices and operating system targeted) is parsed by AirWizard. If the Operating system filters group is enabled AirWizard will autocomplete the coresponding fields accordingly. Also while navigating through the list the Title and Vendor name are displayed in the lower region of the interface (along with usefull information like date, size and location).

For our example we have the Platform filters group enabled. "bluemusic.unsigned" will not be installed on a Smartphone and "bluemusic.signed" will not be installed on a PocketPC. No other filter is set, so the installer will not differentiate between Operating System version or Processor Manufacturer. Lets not forget that we have the option to set the working directory. A custom folder browser has been set up with date and title to path adding featues for a better and more organized working session. Last step has been reached.



You are ready to go. Simply press "Build" to make your first installer. You can quickly examin the results by either selecting to deploy the Mobile installer or to launch the Desktop Installer. The project file can be saved with a custom or default (AirWizardPrj) name.


If you select to "Deploy Mobile installer when done" you will be taken to a simple deployment window. Connect your mobile device and tap on "Look for device". After device has been detected browse for the folder to deploy the installer to. Tap Deploy and the installer will be automaticaly copied to the device and executed.


If you select to "Deploy Desktop installer when done" the stand alone installer will be executed with an easy to use interface.Simply connect your mobile device and tap on "Look for device". After connection has been set up succesfully you can choose the folder to deploy to.


You may press Back at any time in case you need to change some of the parameters for the installer.
