Re: [OT] Installing Pocket PC Applications to run from a MMC card without a PPC

[Jon Whiten <jon.whiten@xxxxxxxxx>]

Possibly a little hit and miss but you certainly used to be able to
copy the "relevant" cab file to the PPC and it would install when
executed.  I think that Active Sync basically operates in this way but
will already know which .cab file to copy across.
