upgrade ActiveSync 3.5 to 3.6 or just install 3.6?

I read somewhere on one of the Axim boards, that somebody installed ActiveSync 3.6 first and then browsed to the Axim driver location on the CD when connecting the Axim to the PC for the first time.

Has anybody done this? I'm one of those that hates to load older programs when a new one is available, just because the older program has a proprietary driver built into it.

Thanks.

I just installed 3.5, and then upgraded to 3.6. I ignored their suggestion to uninstall my previous version of MSAS.

Where can I find the 3.6 upgrade?

I installed 3.6 on my XP box, had no troubles with it at all. I didn't need to add the Axim drivers.

I installed 3.6 directly from MS web site and istalled the drivers from the cd,did not even bother with actisync 3.5 and itr worked great.Later on when I called DEll tech with some problem with D pad ,he asked me toinstall actisync from cd I fond out that one on does not even install,I kept clicking on install icon nothing happened.Igot replacement Axim because of D PAD AND i TRIED TO INSTALL 3.5 FROM IT ,INSTALL EXE ICON APPEARED ON DESKTOP BUT INSPITE OF CLICKING REPEATEDLY ON THIS ICON IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING.sO i INSTALLED 3.6 FROM WEB AND DRIVERS FROM CD AND AM VERY WITH IT.

Well I figured it out. I installed ActiveSync 3.6. I connected the Axim to my PC. When the window popped up, I browsed to D:\MS\ACTSYNC\Main\Core\Inf, where D: is my CD drive. It worked perfectly.
