Adding Programs
Install the appropriate software on your host computer before installing it on your terminal.
1. Tap Start - Settings. On the System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, note the
information in Processor.
2. Download the program to your host computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains
the program into your host computer). You may see a single *.xip file, *.exe file, a
*.zip file, or a Setup.exe file.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with
the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4. Connect your terminal and host computer.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.
If the file is an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the directions on the
screen. Once the software is installed on your host computer, the installer transfers
the software to your terminal.
If the file is not an installer, an error message states that the program is valid but is
designed for a different type of computer. Move this file to your terminal. If you
cannot find installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or
documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the Program
Files folder on your terminal. For more information on copying files using
ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
When installation is complete, tap Start, Programs, then the program icon to select it.
