Can't install Acrobat - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hi
Finally I got my touchscreen to work. Also a lot of other things like GPRS to work.
No I wan't to read pdf-documents, but there is no Acrobat, so I need to install. I downloaded:
AdbeRdr20_ppc_enu.exe from acrobat pocket pc download
and
acrobatreader-ppc2002.exe from tucows
I put them in the storage card folder with ActiveSync.
When I open them in the Pocket PC I get a message says: Is not a valid Pocket PC application.
Why can't I install?
The rom is cooked from romkitchen
Rom version: 4.02.04 ENG
Radio version: 3.23.0
Protocol: 32S54
Hope anybody can help
Thank in advance

Just run the exe-file on your PC with the device connected via active sync.
Looks lite it is an installer for the software using active sync and not a application directly for the device.

Now it works
That worked.
Thank you Stefan

activesync 3.7.1 and 2003 problem

I upgraded my rom to 2003 and now I cant write another rom to it. Everytime I run rom.exe it tells me the connection was forcibly shut down and to check my USB connection. But then I can turn around and sync it.
what up!!!!!!!!!!?????????
What is your ROM version?
Rom upgrade
It doesn't matter what Active Sync you are using. If you upgrade to 2003, you can't change to anything else by activesync. The easiest way is to use XDA Tools. Here is a link to someone who had the same problem. This thread helped me when I was in your situation. you can find the software and everything you need in this thread.[/url]
i dont think he want to go back to 2002 i think he just want
his 2003 to work with active sync

Yes that sounds about right, your only option now is to use the boot loader
method to up/downgrade your ROM. So if you don't have one already its time to get yourself a PC SD card reader.
BTW what ROM are you trying to up/downgrade to?

can not synch

I installed 2005, and couldn't sych at all by AS4, everytime it tried to connect, i said looking for changes and then a protection fault, so I downgraded to wm2003se and active sych couldnt connect, I reinstalled AS 3.7 and then 3.8, but it can not run at all it just starts connecting, then stops and I can not show Activesynch window, it can not even explore the device
does anybody have a solution for this, or do I have to format and reinstall windows
yo medman
personally i think it was a bad mistake to upgrade to W2005. cause its still in the development phase and u wont find a lot of help from us users cause most of us are still waiting for a stable version to come out
looking at u'r situation
hard reset u'r PPC, do not connect u'r USB.....now install 3.8 MSYNC....... restrt u'r computer.....n then once rebooted......connect the USB cradle with u'r comp and put in u'r PPC...
it shld work now..
best of luck
sync problem...solved!
hey medman,
i don't see why every one is dissing wm2005, its a great rom!
but for the people who are having problems with connecting their device with wm2005 to ActiveSync 4.0 i figured out what is wrong:
if you connected your device to your computer before you installed the new
ActiveSync, it set your device with no driver, and even if you have the
ActiveSync driver now you computer allready recognised your device, so:
the solution is to delete the device setting under device manager of your
computer [start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager]
now with device manager open and with you ppc not connected:
go to the view tab and check "show hidden devices"
then look for the driver of the ppc most likely under the "Non-Plug and Play
Drivers" but if it is not there look around for the driver
when you find it, you went to delete it by right-clicking on the driver and
clicking uninstall
after you delete the old driver have ActiveSync running and place your ppc in the cradle, and the new driver should be installed by ActiveSync 4.0
if you need activesync 4.0 just tell me and i can give you my sight that i uploded as4.0 and wm2005 in a rar file, by the way...most answers are being found on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
re:
To rooschool: I did what u suggested but same...
To Destroyer7337:
I didn't connect the ppc before the active sych, I raid this topic before I tried wm2005, I took all the precautions u mentioned, but to no avail, any way I downgraded to 2003se bu I cannot synch with all versions of activesynch
Driver?
What is the name of the driver? I can't find anything in non plug and play and I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

err little help - xdaII 2003-2003se upgrade gone a bit wrong

Hi all,
I just upgraded my xdaII from WM2003 to WM2003SE which seemed to work ok.
I then got the issue where the screen stops responding and worked out how to edit the config.txt file, ok I thought I'll just re-install SE.
So I dock my XDA into the cradle but it wont connect with active sync 4 anymore, which means I cant install the OS again.
Can anyone help me??
Cheers
Marff
nevermind, did a hard reset and the pda is working ok now, still doesnt want to connect to Activesync tho
when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway
best thing is to set activesync to not sync on usb devices let windows find the pda as a non as device and then flash
also if you change the extented rom as in config.txt and reflash you are likely to get a new extented rom and a new config.txt overwriting yours anyway
most of the time when you change extented rom a hardreset is what you want
Hi rudegar
I didnt get as far as reinstalling the OS with the modded config.txt, once I hard reset the pda after installing it the first time it worked ok, it installed the O2 extensions and worked fine, except MSN messenger wont work, where before it would.
i tried disabling what you said and windows wouldnt detect it at all.
With it enabled I could see it as a mobile device in my computer, but not access it.
Also the active sync window would not load, the taskbar icon is there, but when you click on it the window does not pop up, but you can get to the options
its annoying as I now cant install any programs onto the pda, I dont have a USB reader for the SD card at the moment.
not sure whats going on

really? cos the program I ran to upgrade the OS, himaupgradeUt says the pda should be docked and synced??
just installed activesync on my other pc and the pda syncs ok with it.

How to install .NET CF2?

Hi Gurus
I have downloaded .NET CF2 from Microsoft to my PC. How do I install it to my SPV. Its 37MB in size and is a .msi file. Do I install it on my PC and will it install on SPV on next connect ??
All help appreciated.
Asif
Somebody must know from amonst you gurus how to do this.
Dont be shy now.
Install that downloaded msi file onto your desktop PC. If you want to grab it manually the cab file for your PPC is in one of the folders it creates in Program Files. Can't remember which.
Thanx Chunkymonkey
Presumabley, once installed on my PC it will be migrated to my SPV on next connect.
Regards
Asif
When I installed it I made sure that my phone was connected and synced to my pc before installing the msi file to my pc then it did both automatically.
Cheers
