Resolving Installation Problems
If you have problems installing mscape player on your PDA there is a manual alternative to the automatic installer.
Follow the steps below to achieve this.
- Connect your device to the machine via ActiveSync. Right-click the green ActiveSync icon in the system tray next to the clock, and choose Explore to bring up a Windows Explorer window.
- Open another Windows Explorer window and navigate to C:\Program Files\mscape\cabs (If you have installed mscape to a different directory this path may be different)
- Copy the file mscapeplayer.ARMV4.CAB from the cabs folder to your device
- If your device is Windows Mobile 5 or above, copy the file NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab across as well.
- If your device is Pocket PC 2003 Second Edition or above, copy the file NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab over.
- If fp7_ppc_en.cab is there (this is the Adobe Flash installer) copy that across too. If it is not there, follow the instructions you get from the library from File menu / Install Mscape Player / Install Flash
- On your device, go to Start Menu / Programs / File Explorer
- Navigate to where you copied the cab files to (the default is My Documents)
- Tap on the NETCF cab to install the .NET framework.
- When this finishes you may need to restart the ipaq
- Tap on mscapeplayer.ARMV4.cab to install mscape player
- Tap on fp7_ppc_en.cab to install flash.
