Application Installation

The created CAB files for the application are as follows:

You must have a PC or Server with ActiveSync v4.5+ installed. Note that this must allow the device to connect to the Internet.

Connect the device via the supplied cable. On the PC:

  • When ActiveSync pops up on the PC, choose to not make a partnership by clicking Cancel.
  • Click the Explore button.
  • When Windows Explorer pops up, double-click My Windows Mobile-Based Device.
  • Double-click Program Files
  • Copy all the CAB files listed above to this directory.

You can now disconnect from the PC.

On the device:

  • From the Start menu (the Windows icon), select File Explorer.
  • Click Program Files or My Device.
  • Click on each of the CAB files in sequence.

Note Note: If a particular CAB file says that there is already a later version on the device, you can skip the installation of that CAB file.

When completed, the application is installed, and can be found on the Start menu or the Programs screen.
