Double-click the *.exe file.
If the file is an installer file, the installation wizard begins. Follow the

directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on

your computer, the installer automatically transfers the software to

your device.

If the file is not an installer file, you receive an error message stating

that the program is valid but that it is designed for a different type of

computer. You need to move this file to your device. If you cannot

find any installation instructions for the program in the readme file

or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file

to the Program Files folder on your device. For more information on

copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your

computer.

To open a program after the installation is complete, tap the Start button,
tap Programs, and then tap the program icon.
