PocketBuilder 2.5 deployment uses smaller footprint DLLs, some of which are not required for all applications. For devices that do not have a large, single memory slot to accomodate the PocketBuilder virtual machine in a single DLL, multiple smaller memory slots might still be available. The smaller DLLs allow you to deploy and run PocketBuilder applications on devices with fragmented memory.
The PocketBuilder WinCE\arm directory contains a version of each DLL for the Pocket PC, and the WinCE\sparm directory contains a version of each DLL for Smartphone devices.
The following table lists the new DLL files that have been split off from the PocketBuilder VM.

Enhanced CAB Generation Tool
You can use the Enhanced CAB Generation tool to deploy any
or all PocketBuilder support DLLs with your PocketBuilder application.
If you select the Include PocketBuilder Support DLLs check box on
the PocketBuilder Options tab of this tool, the tool will add the PKDWE25.DLL and PKVM25.DLL files
to the CAB file it generates. This check box selection also enables
check boxes and radio buttons for inclusion of each of the other DLLs.
