12.1 Adding and Removing Programs

Before purchasing additional programs for your device, you should

note the name of your device, the version of Windows Mobile

software running on it, and the type of processor. This information will

help you select a program that is compatible with your device.

Programs available for purchase usually include a setup program

(commonly named “setup.exe”) that you must ﬁrst install on your PC.

You can then use ActiveSync to add programs to your device, or add a

program directly from the Internet.

To add programs:

1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or

disk that contains the program into your PC). You may

see a single *.exe ﬁle, a *.zip ﬁle, a Setup.exe ﬁle, or

several versions of ﬁles for different device types and

processors. Be sure to select a program designed for

your device and processor type.

2. Read any installation instructions or documentation

that comes with the program. Many programs provide

special installation instructions.

3. Connect your device and PC.

4. Double-click the *.exe ﬁle.

If the executable ﬁle is an installation wizard,

follow the instructions on the screen. The wizard

will automatically install the program to your

device.

If an installation wizard does not start, you will

see an error message stating that the program

is valid but that it is designed for a different

type of computer. You will need to copy this

program directly to your device. If you cannot

ﬁnd any installation instructions for the program,

use ActiveSync to copy the program ﬁle to the

Program Files folder on your device.
