The WinCE2.11-PCM-LMC-vx.xx.exe and WinCE3.0-PCM-LMC-vx.xx.exe files, which are used to
install the driver and client utilities, consist of individual *.cab files. Each *.cab file contains the driver,
client utility, and online help files for a specific Windows CE CPU/device combination. When the *.exe
file is executed, all of the *.cab files are extracted, and the *.cab file specific to the attached Windows
CE device is copied to the device.

Note This procedure is meant to be used the first time the driver and client utilities are installed on a
Windows CE device. If Cisco Aironet client adapter software is already installed on your Windows
