You need just one storage card which should contain your autorun exe in the
processor specific folder e.g. 2577 - you'll find details on how to do this
in a variety of places, one here:-
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/autorun.html
Add your "welcome.not" file to the root folder on the SD card. Put the SD
card in the device when it hard resets, the welcome screen will appear then
be dismissed in a couple of seconds then your autorun.exe will be launched
and can install your app and required settings. Make sure your Autorun
writes the screen calibration data to the registry the first time it is
called. After your software is deployed I reocmmend calling TouchCalibrate
when your app first runs to fine tune the screen calibration.
