Installing applications and databases onto your Palm Computing organizer is a simple
process. However, this process differs depending on what version of the Palm Desktop Software
you have installed. In general, you will be using the "Palm Install Tool" or similarly named
application to select the files for installation onto your Palm organizer. In some cases this install
tool will be named "InstApp" or something similar. Due to the numerous versions that exist, we
recommend referring to your Palm Organizer's user guide if you need help with this process.

To install PalmOS applications or databases launch the "Palm Install Tool" mentioned
above. Choose the file(s) you would like to install. The files will be installed on the next
HotSync. For more information, please consult the manuals that came with your Palm Computing
organizer.

2.1. Installation Troubleshooting

If the installation process seems to be failing, this list of common problems may be helpful:
- Did you have the correct Palm user name selected when using the Install tool?
- Do you have the most up-to-date version of the HotSync software and Conduit Manager? There
have been bug fixes to some of this software; they are available free from Palm's web site at
http://www.palm.com.
- Are you having trouble getting the file you want to install to appear in the 'Choose a file to install'
dialog? If on a PC, try setting the "Files of Type" to "*.*". If on a Mac, try setting the "List Files
of Type" to "All Files".
- If you've performed a HotSync, and the installation didn't work even though you think it should
have, try looking in the HotSync log, which can be viewed from the Palm Desktop Software. This
sometimes will give you a clue about installation problems.
