Installing Your Software
Downloading Software
On each product page there is a link that allows you to download software. When you click this link, a pop-up window appears notifying you that you have initiated a file download. This pop-up window will be titled 'Save As...', within which you can select where you would like the file to be saved. (To keep your directory structure manageable, we recommend you create a separate folder where you keep all of your downloads.). Click the 'Save' button to complete the download process.

If your Pocket PC is connected, an Add/Remove Programs window should open up on top of the ActiveSync window. If it this window doesn't open, go to Tools > Add/Remove Programs... and check the box next to any applications you'd like to install.
In the dialog box, uncheck "Install program into the default installation folder" if you want to install the application onto a memory card. Then choose the appropriate location from the next drop down menu.
After the application has been transferred to your Pocket PC, you will see a dialog asking you to check your device for further instructions.
