Hi!
welcome to the forum.
The file that you downloaded maybe the Desktop installer program that uses active sync to install it your pocket pc.

There are ways installing applications or games to your pocket. the first one via active sync, you can connect your pda by Cradle or USB sync cable the other is via Bluetooth connections and so on.

The other is downloading the .CAB files which you run directly to your pocket pc but when you do this it install itseft to default location that is the main memory of your device. But you can use CABInstall when dealing with CAB files this lets you specify your desired directory it may be your Storage or Your Storage Card.

I hope this helps. Good Luck and let us know if you still have some questions.

Like Murduck points out, most install files distributed as .exe files are run on a desktop host while your device is connected in an ActiveSync session. This is the most common installation method. If you have a .cab installation file, you can copy that to your device and, when you open it, the installation process will run.
