Where do yoy put and how do you install third party programs?

n99hockey · 03-06-2007, 01:25 PM

you can install these programs anywhere you want to. the best place would be on an SD card to save space on the Q itself. you can install the files by putting the CAB file on the phone(using active sync), go to file manager and find the CAB file you just copied over. click on the file and install, if you have an SD it will ask you where you want to install it and select where you want it to go.
you can also have an EXE file that you can start from your desktop computer to install the file, if you have this method just make sure your Q is connected to the Q with active sync.

nope the CAB files can go anywhere...when the program installs it creates its on folders. and when your install is done you can delete the CAB files from your Q, but make sure you keep a copy of the CAB file on your computer should you need to reinstall or anything.

So all I need is the cab file dragged over to activesync, not the setup or the other file.I can just leave it on the initial screen? Also, your resume is quite impressive.

I haven't had 2 many problems with it. Only newby problems because I was a new user. Is this thing all it's cracked up to be? What are the differences in the newer Q's?

my resume?
the program came with a CAB file and EXE file? try using the CAB file first, that should contain everything you need. let me know if it works for you, if not then we can figure out another way.
