I am sure some of you were confused as to where to download the file as I was. Here is a direct link to one of the servers. http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...1ce-sph-ARM.CAB

Install Instructions:

Step 1: download

Download the file.

Step 2: unpack.

Run the installer package and follow on-screen instructions. If you are new to installing software under Windows CE, there is additional information available from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/c...ep/software.asp

Step 3: run.

A shortcut to NetHack will be created in the Games folder on the device.

Hope this is helpful. Also note that you do need to have a software unlocked phone.

How do you run the _setup (XML document) as a script for installation ?

_setup always seems to want to load up as a text document only.

OK. I see it now.

I've just realised that a zip file containing _setup is in the same format as the orange add-ons.

I just copied the zip file to the SD card (the same directory as add-ons),

Reseated the SD card and ticked the app to load.

I'm sure there's an easier way to run the installer.

The Warbirds Demo also uses this setup - so I'm off to install that too.

Yep

(you can open it with all-explorer, if you got a version of it, simly by clicking it

or

you can make a shortcut of i with the explore function of your activesync and drop it to ipsmwindowsstart menu or similar)
