Hello. I am a former Palm user that just recently ordered a 300MHz Axim X5. (OK, I know it will take nearly forever to arrive.) But it sounds that installing software on Pocket PC is different than on Palm, where you would use the install program to install any required .prc/.pdb files. How would I install a piece of software onto my Axim (whenever I might get it.) What's the deal with .cab files and everything? How do installs usually work? And would I be able to install something directly onto a MMC or CF card and run it from there? Sorry if these questions sound completely obvious. :D Thanks

I find the pocket pc install process easier than that used for palm programs.


Most Pocketpc programs install themselves without having to open anything like the Palm Desktop. You simply dock your Pocket PC, then run the install program for the app you are installing. The install program opens Microsoft Acticesync which loads the software on the device.

PPC installs are just like MS Windows installs. I was a prior Palm user and was surprised how easy it was! You'll enjoy it, as long as you don't have problems with ActiveSync, which if you download and install 3.6 form the MS website, you'll be fine!!

And if you have ANY questions, you know where to come to ask them!!

Nick
