To Add Programs Using ActiveSync
You will need to install the appropriate software for your Pocket PC on your
desktop computer before installing it on your Pocket PC.
1. Determine your Pocket PC and processor type so that you know which
version of the software to install. Tap
Version
and make a note of the information in Processor.
2. Download the program to your desktop computer or, if you have a CD or disk
containing the program, insert the CD or disk into your desktop computer. You
might see a single *.xip, *.exe *.zip file, a Setup.exe file or several versions of
files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for the Pocket PC and your Pocket PC processor type.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files or documentation that
comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation
instructions.
4. Connect your Pocket PC and desktop computer.
5. Double-click on the *.exe file.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the
l
directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your
computer, the installer automatically transfers the software to your
Pocket PC.
l If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the
program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You
will need to move this file to your Pocket PC. If you cannot find any
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 your Pocket PC. For more information on
copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
NOTE: You can also use Pocket Internet Explorer to download some programs from the
Internet directly to your Pocket PC if your Pocket PC is connected to Internet.
Once installation is complete, tap
switch to it.
