You will need to install the appropriate software for your PiN on your computer before transferring it to your

Tap
Æ Settings Æ System tabÆ AboutÆ Version tab. Make a note of the information.
2. Download the program to your computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your
computer). You may see a single *.xip, *.exe,, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files
for different PiN types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and
your PiN 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 PiN 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 PiN.
• 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 PiN. If you
cannot find any 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 PiN. For
more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
