Installing ClearVue applications on Qtek 8310 \Storage Card

---

Hi, just wanted to share my experience with getting the ClearVue applications installed on the storage card of a Qtek 8310. Installing to device memory wastes a lot of precious storage memory, and installing to \Storage Card does not seem to work, because the installer just dumps everything into \Storage Card\Windows, including the Start Menu shortcuts (which will not be visible, and they point to \Windows anyway).

Anyway, do a normal install, choose Storage Card, and then you have to create shortcuts using File Explorer (either on the device or through ActiveSync):

\Windows\Start Menu\ClearVue Document -> \Storage Card\Windows\WTCVDocV.exe
\Windows\Start Menu\ClearVue PDF -> \Storage Card\Windows\WTCVPDFV.exe
\Windows\Start Menu\ClearVue PPT -> \Storage Card\Windows\WTCVPres.exe
\Windows\Start Menu\ClearVue Worksheet -> \Storage Card\Windows\WTCVWSV.exe

The default document handler for .pdf is the same as for .doc, so if you want to be able to view both .doc/.rtf and .pdf files you have to edit the registry:

\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\Default should be changed from docfile to pdffile

You also have to add the file associations for the file types using File Explorer on the device (Menu->File->Associate). Create dummy files with the following extensions (or copy real files) and associate them as follows:

.doc and .rtf -> WTCVDocV.exe
.pdf -> WTCVPDFV.exe
.ppt -> WTCVPres.exe
.xls -> WTCVWSV.exe

Now you should be able to view word/excel/powerpoint/pdf attachments and files without wasting a lot of storage memory.

clearvue for wm 5?

---

You article is very nice, but my problem is that it does even works on my Imate SP5, because it has wm 5. Also Westtek told me, that they are working for a new version (within this year) compatible with WM 5.

So 2 questions:
- does it works on WM 5? (or are you talking not about Westtek ClearVue Suite?)
- exist there any Word/.pdf/tif viewer for Smartphone with WM 5.0?

Yes, qtek 8310 is a wm5 device, it's exactly the same as imate sp5, and ClearVue was included on the qtek software cd.

So, it seems like the installer is broken with wm5, but you should get it up and running using the steps in my previous post.
