Ok, I bought a beautiful IPQ 2115 and tried to run my medical apps on it (uptodate, epocrates...) and not surprising, did not run.
Apprently microsoft (in its ultimate wisdom) left some crucial files out of the new OS.
They have a Cab file on their web site, "msvbppc.armv4.cab" to run "legacy apllications" (legacy? I just bought these things days or weeks ago!!).
My question is, how can you run this file? I got it on my pocket PC and you can see it on the file explorer of the PPC, but when you click on it, it gives you "not a valid pocket PPC program" error and refuse to run. Tried to unzip it on my desktop and move all the individual files to the windows directory on PPC, well, they just sit there! if you read the help file it makes it very simple, just click on it and will install, well, it is not!!
Any idea or suggestion is greatly appreciated!
