Age of Empires, Need For Speed, other old pda games

Hi,

Trying to install these games, but didnt had luck succeeding.

As Example, I Install Age Of Empires via pc (running aoe.exe), after this InstallShield setup pops up, everythings cool, setup completes and then, by default, ActiveSync Add/Remove programs pops up, and by default it would show the message "see your device screen for aditional information installing the program"...But it doesn't! It just shows installed programs, like in normal "remove programs" option, and also, no signs of installing any kind of programs on my device too.

Dont know what's the problem, of course these games are mainly built for WM5 (Im running WM6), they're pretty old, but strange thing, I got Worms, which are same old as these, to work!

If this is useful, my device is SE Xperia X1, Windows version 6 (as mentioned before)

windows install exes are often just selfextracting zip files you can try to rename it
to zip and see if you can open it and just copy out the cab file yourself

or do a search of your pc hd like the install dir of the pda program
as there is always a cab file somewhere

transfer it to your pda and run it from there and see if it helps

Well tried to do it as you said, err..Still no effect.

You see, actually when I run the setup, and it says it's succesfully installed, I see no sign of files on my xperia, storage card program files/ device itself, it just doesnt transfer any files (or .cab's) to my device.

Btw, renamed .setup to .zip , you were right - its just a compressed file :)

As you see, 3 .cab's, whose, I guess, must be installed with setup..
Anyway, no success here :)

Maybe there is another way?
