- Installing
- ----------------------------
-
- In order for you to install an Infinity Softworks' application, the
- desktop software that comes with your Palm connected organizer must
- be installed.á We also recommend reading your Palm connected organizer
- manual.á Look for a section on installing third-party applications or on
- the Install Tool.
-
- For this archive, we need to install "util400d.prc".
-
- There are two items you need to install any third-party application.á The
- first is the Palm Install Tool; the second is the Palm application(s) you
- want to install.á The Palm Install Tool is named "instapp.exe" or
- "Install Tool" and the Palm application can end with the extension
- ".prc" or ".pdb" (.prc is the application, .pdb is any associated
- databases).
-
- First, lets double-click on each of the Palm applications to see if it
- will open the Install Tool.á If the Install Tool did open, click "Done"
- or "Exit" and HotSync.á The application will appear in your application's
- screen on your Palm connected organizer after the HotSync process is
- complete.
-
- If the application does not open and instead shows you a dialog box
- asking which application should open this program, cancel. á There are
- three different options for locating the Install Tool.
-
- Option #1: Look in the Start Menu (or Apple Menu).
-
- Under "Programs" in the Start menu, look for a folder entitled
- "Palm Desktop", "PalmPilot Desktop", or "Pilot Desktop" and select the
- Install Tool.
-
- Option #2: Look in the Palm Desktop application.
-
- Run the Palm Desktop application on your computer.á In the application
- is a list of views (Date, Address, To Do, Memo, etc.) along the left-hand
- column.á If one is labeled "Install", click this icon and it will open
- the Install Tool.
-
- Option #3: Search for it on your hard drive.
-
- 1. On your Start menu, put the cursor over "Find" and then select
- "Files or Folders"á(for Macintosh users, select Find from the Apple menu).
- 2. In the name field, type "instapp" (without the quotes).á
- 3. Make sure the "Look In" category is your hard drive and the
- "Include subfolders" checkbox is checked (Windows only).
- 4. Select the "Find Now" button.
-
- If the "instapp" application appears in the list, we have found the
- application.á Double-click on it to run the Palm Install Tool.á
-
- If the application does not appear, try another hard drive or contact
- Palm's technical support about installing or using the Install Tool.á
- Palm's technical support phone number is (847) 676-1441 or email
- support@palm.com.
-
- Once you are in the Install Tool, you need to locate the applications
- you want to install on your Palm connected organizer.
-
- 1. Select the "Browse" or "Add" button.
- 2. Locate the file you want to install.
- 3. Select the file and click "Open" or "OK".
- 4. Exit the Install Tool.
-
- The next time you HotSync, the application will be installed onto your
- handheld.á Look in the Application's screen on your Palm connected
- organizer to see if it loaded successfully.
