5.2 Adding and Removing Programs
Before you purchase additional programs for your device, you should
note the name of your device, the version of Windows Mobile TM
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 get detailed device information” and “To find
the operating system version number” 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.
