Adding a Program via an ActiveSync Connection

Install the appropriate software on the desktop computer before installing it on the terminal.
1. Tap Start - Settings. On the System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, note the
information in Processor.
2. Download the program to the desktop computer (or insert the CD or disk that
contains the program into the desktop computer). You may see a single *.xip file,
*.exe file, a *.zip file, or a Setup.exe file.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with
the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4. Connect the terminal and desktop computer via ActiveSync.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the directions on the
screen. Once the software is installed on the desktop computer, the installer
transfers the software to the terminal.
If the file is not an installer, an error message states that the program is valid but is
designed for a different type of computer. Move this file to the terminal. If you
cannot find installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or
documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program
Files folder on the terminal. For more information on copying files using
ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
When installation is complete, tap Start - Programs, then the program icon to select it.
