Before you purchase additional programs for your device, you should note the name
of your device, the version of Windows Mobile software running on it, and the type of
processor. This information will help you select a program that is compatible with
your device. For more information, see
―To find the operating system version
information
‖ in this chapter.
Programs available for purchase usually include a Setup program (commonly named
"setup.exe") that you must first install on your PC. You can then use ActiveSync to
add programs to your device, or add a program directly from the Internet.
To add programs
1.
Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that contains the
program into your PC). You may see a single
*.exe
file, a
*.zip
file, a Setup.exe
file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure
to select a program designed for your device and processor type.
2.
Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with the
program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3.
Connect your device and PC.
4.
Double-click the
*.exe
file.
•
If the executable file is an installation wizard, follow the instructions on the
screen. Once the program has been installed on your PC, the wizard will
automatically transfer the program to your device.
•
If an installation wizard does not start, you will see an error message stating
that the program is valid but that it is designed for a different type of computer.
You will need to copy this program to your device. If you cannot find any
installation instructions for the program, use ActiveSync to copy the program
file to the Program Files folder on your device.
