I have read good things about the speed of this basic browser on this forum so decided to install it. I have tried downloading the files directly to my XDA mini s and via my pc but I cannot manage to install. The midlet manager opens, tries to connect to the internet but fails everytime.
Do I need something else to install the .jad and .jar files?

Nope, you only need the JAR file, not even the JAD.
Upon the first start, it'll ask you premission for accessing the Net. What did you answer?

Guys, if you don't want to install additional software, you can add your PPC as a device to RealPlayer and sync Real files to play on WM10.
When I try to install it Im getting a message...

'cause you're supposed to run that file on your desktop not the phone.
I installed Real player through AS 4.1 with no problems. Great for bbc radio broadcasts.
I got it installed and it wont play the file! Ah well. Do I need to convert it somehow?
On the BBC radio site where is has a link that says listen using stand alone real player, right click and copy that link to your wizard. Clicking on that file should open real player and begin to play your broadcast.
Will it not play videos though? I want it to play my south park vids
RealPlayer Link
Here is the link to download the CAB file so you can install Realplayer on your WM5 device without activesync.
http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=7160593
Copy the file to your Pocket PC and click on it to install.
CAB files within the exe file
If you start to use the realplayer executable file while connected through Activesync but do not complete the install process ie while the install screen is still open go to
START/RUN and type %TMP%
This will open the install directory. Look for a sub dir call ~rmsetup. Within that sub directory you will find the REALPLAYER.CAB file you need. Just copy into your temp directory on wizard and run as usual. It works for both the basic Realplayer and Realplayer with video beta downloadable from their site.
Hope I've explained it clearly enough.
There is also an explanation of how to make the exe file work with activesysnc on the Realplayer forum but I found the above solutions easier.

Ive got it installed but cant play my South Park rm files? Will it only play upto a certain version or something? Any patches available?
Hi all,
Having a spot of trouble trying to install anything onto my MDA Vario, I generally search for WM5 software/games and everytime I try to install I get this message.
XXXXX is not a valid pocket PC application
Any clues?
Thanks
Sounds like your installing an exe that needs to be installed via pc using activesync. You can download activesync from the M$ website. The latest version is 4.2 as far as i know.
If you are downloading exe files, try opening them on the pc first. Most of the exe files are installation files that need to be executed from the computer. Some, very few, are actually compiled executables that only have to be copied to the PPC and run from there.
You will also come across CAB files. These files are my preference because you just copy them to the PPC and execute it there, and it installs the files right on the PPC.
Had a problem running activesync, it used to loop my pc when I attached the device. Since then I reinstalled XP Pro OS and reinstalled activesync (probably old version conflicting)
It now works a treat and loads up all my software!
Many thanks

I thought Opera Mini is a Java application, you first need to open java, then install from the menu, within Java, then you can run it.
I downloaded a lot of windows pocketpc applications for my Xperia and none of the worked... The following message comes up: "Is not a valid pocketpc application"
I had a lot of 2003, windows 5, and 6 applications, and games and they cant install or open!
How can I fix this?
RE:
Did you just copy the applications straight to your Xpreia then run the files? If so, you need to run most pocket apps on a PC first, then when you connect your Xperia to a PC then a window will pop up showing you the applications that need to be installed onto your Xperia. This is all Automatic, as long as you have installed the Phone onto your PC.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's the only real stupid crap on WM.
I could install any app on Symbian right on phone.
Why the hell they don't make all .CAB's??
I understand with big files, but with 100kB thing is plain stupid,
the whole idea of mobility dies with this.
P.S. I also have some apps like that, so what do I do?
Install it first on PC? And than what, uninstall it after installing on phone??
If you have it "install" on your pc only, it always leaves a .cab file somewhere to be downloaded to your phone later. That's how I extracted the CAB files from the executables I have anyway.
99% of apps can be obtained as cab. Only few I had to install manually (ie there was no CAB or PC EXE installer).
Most are avaialble also aso PC exe, but if someone bothers with EXE installer, he usually has CAB too (in fact he has to, since the PC installation shows some funky windows and then it simply copies the CAB to WM device).
Which is also where you can get the CAB. Unpack the EXE installer (very often possible, Total Commander can do that for example), locate the CAB inside it, and install the CAB manually.

So you had plain luck,
50% of the apps which I want are these f**n .exe. Without any .CAB inside.
But I still didn't get how is the standard operation from PC.
What do I do first? Install the .exe on my computer and than connect phone? And what than?
sync your mobile with activeSync, install the application through pc, activeSync will start the installation on your mobile
Connect the phone to the PC via ActiveSync.
Run the exe on the PC. It installs on PC and copies the cab installer to the phone via ActiveSync. The phone should start the installation automatically.
I still wonder .. what applications are those ?

Great, thanks guys for replies.
I assume while installing I can choose the place of installation (phone/card....)
P.S. Can the .cab installer stay on device, for quick reinstall after upgrade?
Or you have to connect to PC again?
Hey I just installed WoMo 6.5 on my Sprint TP2 and I'm having trouble reinstalling all my CABs. I double click on the CAB files and nothing happens. Anyone else have an issue with this?
Thnx
First, do a search because this is a common problem for newer folks. It has been answered a lot of times.
It isn't clear how you are trying to install your cabs. To install them you have to get them on the phone and install from there, not your computer.
A nice alternative is a program called CabViaActiveSync. It lets you right click on the cab from your computer and it installs via ActiveSync.
Good luck.
download via phone
If your download via your pocketpc instead of computer it will be easier.
