To install add-on software on your handheld using a Windows computer:
1. Copy or download the application(s) or file(s) you want to install onto your
computer.
2. Double click the Palm Quick Install icon on the Windows desktop.
3. In the User drop-down list, select the name that corresponds to your handheld.
4. Click Add.
TIP To install a folder, open the File menu and select Add Folder.
5. Select the application(s) or file(s) that you want to install.
6. Click OK.
If you selected any files that are incompatible with the handheld, a status dialog
box asks if you want to install the file on the expansion card. Click Yes to place
the file in the queue.
7. If you need to change the destination of the application you are installing, drag
the files to move applications between the handheld and expansion card queue.
8. Perform a HotSync operation to install the selected application(s).
See “Performing cradle/cable HotSync operations” in Chapter 17 for details.
NOTE Files that remain in the list after you perform a HotSync operation were
not installed. This can happen if the file type was not recognized during the
HotSync operation. Expansion cards may hold applications that use files other
than the Palm™ application files. For your handheld to recognize such a file,
you must first launch the associated application at least once.
