applications not installing -not a valid PocketPCapplication

[dilo]

Hi,
I have had my Iwzard for a week now and have this porblem with applications not installingon my wizard. I tried downloading low CPU Skype for pocket PC the from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html - my Wizard says its not a valid application.
Downloaded Total Commander from:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm ( the ARM/XSCALE/PXA version)
still could not get it to work.
Downloaded pocket doom from some site, did not work either. Always the same message...
And still I was able to download and install the agile messenger program..
It is the skype that has me worried. If you have any suggestions, please let me kow. Thanks!

What ROM do you have installed ?
Where do you install the application - your internal storage or to a storage card ?

I've had this once, and a reset helped me install.

You need to run the install program from a location on your PC through active sync. You can not install it directly from the phone.

Sorry guys, this thread was a complete waste of forum space. Turns out as I was still new to this device and the way it functions, I never realized I need to run my programs on the desktop computer and they would install via ActiveSync on the PPC. Don't get me wrong I did my research but not a word on this issue. Not surprised though...people regard that as common sense :))
Thanx for answering anyway, apologies for the dumb question! :oops:
