The basics
You may see a single *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file,
a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for
different device types and processors. Be sure
to select the programme designed for the
Pocket PC and your unit processor type.
4. Read any installation instructions, Read Me
files, or documentation that comes with the
programme. Many programmes provide special
installation instructions.
5. Connect your phone to your computer and
make sure that ActiveSync is activated.
6. Double-click the *.exe file on the computer.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard
will begin. Follow the instructions on the
screen. Once the software has been installed
on your computer, the installer will
automatically transfer the software to your
phone.
If the file is not an installer, you will see an
error message stating that the programme is
valid, but it is designed for a different type of
computer. You will need to move this file to
your phone. If you cannot find any installation
instructions for the programme in the Read Me
file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore
to copy the programme file to the Program
Files folder on your phone. For more
information on copying files using ActiveSync,
see Microsoft ActiveSync Help on your
computer.
7. Once installation is complete, tap Start
→
Programs, and then tap the programme icon
to open it.
