To add programs using ActiveSync
You'll need to install the appropriate software for your device on your
computer before installing it on your device.
1. Determine your device and processor type so that you know which
version of the software to install. Tap and then Settings. On the
System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, make a note of the
information in Processor.
2. Download the program to your computer (or insert the CD or disk that
contains the program into your computer). You may see a single *.xip,
*.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for
different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for the Toshiba Pocket PC e400 and your device processor
type.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that
comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4. Connect your device and computer.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.
■ If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the
directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your
computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your
device.
■ If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that
the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer.
You will need to move this file to your device. If you cannot find any
installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or
documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the
Program Files folder on your device. For more information on copying
files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.
Once installation is complete, tap , Programs, and then the program
icon to switch to it.
