Hi Gregg,<br><br>I downloaded the CAB file directly onto my iPAQ from the Mobile section of the website, via Wi-Fi. I'm pretty sure it's the right kind of file because it went through the normal direct-to-mobile-device install sequence, the same as the other CAB file installs that I have done in the past. The error was right at the end, where it would have claimed success. The progress bar did the whole trip to 100%.<br><br>The only thing I can think of is that my installing it on the Storage Card (in order to preserve space on the device itself) is probably not the typical use case, and that there's a bug in the installer where it's hard-coded to assume the root of the file system somewhere. But, this is the first install (that I know of) that is a multi-CAB type.<br><br>My main PC is running Linux, so installing things via the ActiveSync connection is an annoying proposition.of firing up an old XP laptop and hunting for cables. Is that my only alternative?<br><br>Greg KO6TH<br><br><br>> Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 09:35:57 -0500<br>> From: gregg@wonderly.org<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> CC: ko6th_greg@hotmail.com<br>> Subject: Re: [aprssig] Internet query over APRS<br>> <br>> Are you trying to install the desktop software on your windows mobile device? <br>> It looks like you are installing the mobile CAB file, but the errors, to me, <br>> suggest you have a version or some other feature compatibility issue between the <br>> OS you device is running and what you are trying to install.<br>> <br>> Gregg Wonderly<br>> <br>> On 10/22/2010 12:22 AM, Greg D. wrote:<br>> > Ok, this looks like some useful software, but I'm not having success getting it<br>> > loaded.
