How to Install Pendragon Forms 5.0 on a Pocket PC Storage Card

You can run Pendragon Forms 5.0 directly from a storage card on the Pocket PC platform. However, you will need to install the shared library components into the main memory of your handheld. These instructions explain how to do this.

Pendragon Forms 5.0 installs the following modules:

Place your Pocket PC in the cradle. 

Follow the prompt to install Pendragon Forms on a Pocket PC during the Desktop Client installation, or from the Windows Start menu, select Programs ... Pendragon Forms  ... Install Forms 5.0 on Pocket PC Device

During installation, you will be prompted on the device to choose whether to install each module on a storage card.  Choose to install all modules on the Device except for Pendragon Forms 5 which should be installed on the storage card.

On Windows Mobile 2003 Devices (ActiveSync 3.x):

Place your Pocket PC in the cradle.
