I find some freeware programs for the dopod but every time i execute them it get the message "not a valid pocket pc program".
When downloading these apps, which one will work on the Dopod?
ARM? XSCALE?
I know .cab files work but finding the apps i want as a .cab has proven difficult.
XSCALE is the name that intel gave their arm compatible cpu
"not a valid pocket pc program"
is the typical error msg people who try to run pc activesync install applications directly on their pda rather then run them on their pc
Try the following sites:

This is my first post and I have looked around but it seems no one has the same problem with me or I could miss something.
I just got a MDA compact from T-Mobile UK. I wanted to install some applications but I can only use .CAB files. When I tried to execute a .exe file it says "'file_name' is not a valid Pocket PC application". After that I found out my MDA using Pocket PC platform.
Question is how I can use those .exe files. Would upgrading ROM help?
If they are the correct .exe programs for Pocket PC 2003 SE then I believe they can be installed via ActiveSync.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

By far the most .exe files you can download from the Internet for a PocketPC are actually installers that need to be run on your desktop PC, not on the PocketPC itself. Make sure your PocketPC is connected to your PC and ActiveSync is running, then try starting these .exe on your PC.
If your desktop machine is a Mac or any other non-Windows PC, you are out of luck basically - then you need to ask someone with a Windows PC to run these .exe for you, grab the extracted .cab from some temporary directory, and give those to you.

Just for the sake of completeness, you cannot install Smartphone software on a Pocket PC, despite the similarly-named OS :wink:
misunderstanding
so far that I know, exe can only be executed on the desktop pc. while cab files u can executed it in ur pocket pc.
Omg...I'm so dumb...
Thanks a bunch guys
I have been looking for the omap clock program for the 8125 and have found a couple downloads but the files once downloaded don't work. When I try to open the file I get an error message saying the file is not a valid win32 application. Any advice on how to get around this problem or another place to download the program? I really need this program for my phone, but I can't seem to find one that will open on my computer. Thanks for any help.
version .02
This works on my 8125 Cingular. should work on urs
Offcourse you get an error on your computer, cause it's a file for your Wizard.
You don't have to open on your computer, copy it to your device and run it.
Search on the forum how to make the overclocking permanent and start automatically after a wake up or soft-reset.
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 have been trying to find a website with downloads of new software and games for the mda compact II. I have found one but non of the stuff seems to work. Does anyone know where I can download any, preferably for free?
Have you tried http://www.freewareppc.com?
thanks, i have tried a couple of those but when i try to run it on the mda compact 2 it just says it is not a valid pocket pc application!?! any idea what is wrong?
.exe files or .cab?
they were .exe
Ahh, you have to run .exe files on your PC while your mobile device is connected with actve sync. Active sync will then install them on your device
