Trying to install Acrobat Reader

Hi there! I'm new to PDA's and consider myself PDA stupid. Especially after trying to install any programs on my new X5. I can download the application file "acrobatreader-ppc2002" from the Adobe web site to my device, but when it goes to install, I get a message telling me it isn't a valid Pocket PC application and won't install. What am I doing wrong? I am downloading it via Pass Through in ActiveSync using the USB cable.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me getting my head out.

Download your application to your desktop machine, connect your X5 via ActiveSync and then start the installation on your desktop. It will copy some files to the desktop's temp folder and install the software automatically on the Ax.

Keanu,

Thanks,! that was it! I guess I was thinking it should install directly to the Axim rather than a temp folder on my desktop. Now I know.
Thanks again!
