Installing PocketPC/Windows CE Applications

You’ll need to install the appropriate software for your device on your desktop computer before installing it on your device.

1. Determine your device and processor type. For more information, see the documentation that came with your device and Help on your device.
2. Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your desktop computer). 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 the program designed for your device and 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 device and desktop computer.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.

• If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.
• 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 device. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me or documentation, use ActiveSync to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your device.
