Steve,

It is tricky the first time due to .cab files not being the most used
install method and the info is not as well known.

The .cab file goes in your 4705 or its memory card. After it is placed
in the PDA, *locate the .cab file and run it(click on it) from there.
It is an easy installation method. I now perfere it.

I would like to try XCSoar but am having trouble installing the
program on my iPaq 4705. When I go to the XCSoar site on my PC and
follow the instructions to download the latest version (5.2.4) I am
directed to a site with .cab files. No .exe files. After downloading
what appears to be the appropriate .cab file, and expanding its
contents, there are no .exe files or setup files to install it on the
ipaq. Am I missing something in the procedure or just not downloading
the right files? I am used to software that has an .exe file that then
installs files on the PC to be download to the PDA using ActiveSync.
Does this software use a different process? I was hoping to get this
installed tonight to try this weekend.- Hide quoted text -

I'll second that! The first time in installed it (a couple years ago)
it took a lot of time. Using the .cab file, I installed it on 5 PDA'S
in about 10 minutes. It took a couple more minutes each to drop my
configuration, waypoints, and other files on them.
