The installation data (e. g. from the Internet) is loaded onto a PC and
extracted there. Self-extracting installation data can be unpacked by
executing the EXE file. For archive data, such as that with the widely-
used ZIP file extension for example, you need an unzipping program.
Using ActiveSync you can transfer the unzipped files to SIMpad
(see page 26). Transfer the files e. g. into the
Windows folder. Installa-
tion occurs automatically.
If the downloaded program includes an installer program (typically
named Setup.exe or Install.exe), double click the installer program on
the desktop PC and installation wizard will guide you trough the instal-
lation process. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software
has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will auto-
matically transfer the software to your SIMpad.

If a program is designed for direct installation, you may be able to
download or install the program from the Web to your SIMpad.

6WURQJ$50
package (CAB file). When transferring data from the In-
ternet you are requested to select a folder in which you wish to save
the installation data, e. g. in
Windows . After the installation data has
been transferred, call up Windows Explorer (see page 46). Go to the
Windows folder. There, GRXEOH tap the file downloaded from the In-
ternet. Follow further instructions on the screen.
