Install on iPAQ

[1/4] from: alex:webinstinct at: 9-Nov-2001 0:44

Probably a silly question. How do I install Core on iPAQ? It's running wince 3.0. When I download and unzip the files, I get rebol.exe and all the .r files in the folder. I can't run the executable on my desktop (not a valid win32 application). When I try copying the .exe to iPAQ and try running it from there, it's not a valid windows CE application. What am I doing wrong here? Or can I even do it in the first place??? -- Sincerely, Alex Polkhovsky Senior Consultant Web Instinct, Inc.

Hi Alex, The Ipaq is a strongarm cpu, so make sure you download the arm version of rebol for windowsce and not the sh3 or mips Best, Chris

Sure. The `image' shouldn't execute on the desktop (the `not a valid..' message is correct). If you have the proper file it is a valid CE application so if you are having trouble I see the following possibilities: (1) You started with the wrong `CORExxx'; (2) Your copy operation corrupted the image; (3) you are attempting to execute it in some `invalid' way. I have an iPAQ and encountered no difficulty whatsoever in the process, so we just have to figure out where you went wrong. And your current description is somewhat too vague to make that easy. (`When I download and unzip the files...' What files? Downloaded where to the PC or to the iPAQ? etc.) I'd recommend you start over and document each step carefully, and in some detail (i.e. `I download and unzip XXXX.ZIP on the PC' I use xxxx to copy it to ....') It will probably work this time and you won't need to write back. If it doesn't, then write back to the List with the very specific statement of what you did and we'll try to spot what you did wrong. Good Luck.

That was right on the money! Thank you, Chris! On Fri, 2001-11-09 at 02:23, Christian Morency wrote:
