Guest Danno13 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 I've just upgraded to an SPV M1500 and am having problems when i come to install certain applications. Its happened with Papyrus, Bluetooth commander and a few other remote control programs i've tried. All that happens is at the stage where i'd usually press ok on the phone to install the software, i get the message "the file xxxx.CAB is not a valid windows CE installer", or something along the same lines. I thought unlocking the phone might help but when i tried to run the application to do this I got the same error message! Anyone got any ideas?? Much Appreciated, Dan.
Guest Disco Stu Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 Sounds like you're trying to install Smartphone software onto a Pocket PC. The two are not the same and most applications are not cross-compatible.
Guest Danno13 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 I just presumed that if the application says it will work with Windows Mobile 2003 OS then it would be compatible, or is that not the case?
Guest Confucious Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 Not the case at all I'm afraid. Papyrus is certainly a smartphone only app.
