Avantgo on the Jornada 680

I downloaded the latest version of avantgo for windows CE, but when I try to install it using my sync cable, I get the message that the device does not support the file. I know that others are using avantgo on the J680. I have enough memory for the program, but I have no idea why active sync 3.8 gives me this message. Please help! Any suggestions?

Thank you!

You said you installed the latest version. It probably doesn't include an H/PC Pro version, only H/PC 2000 and newer. Can you find an older version of AvantGo anywhere?

According to Avantgo's support site, their software supports CE 2.x and later.

Thank you for sending me to the HPC factor site where I could find the files. I found both a SH3 zip file and a mal zip file. I can see the files in both zipped files, but I am still not certain how to get the files into my Jornada device. I know how to use the explore function in active sync, but I am not sure what to do with the files. Do I manually place them into a folder on the Jornada? And if so, where should I place them? Then what do I do with the files?

I'm not new to computers, but this is the first HPC device I have owned.

Thank you for any suggestions.

ZIP or CAB?

The file I downloaded from HPC factor is a zip file. I extracted the files inside and they are files such as 00agcore.002 and 0avantgo.001. I have no idea what kind of files these are or what to do with them. You'd think using avantgo would be a simple process, but apparently it is not.

Any ideas?

no it is not a ZIP, it is a CAB.. don't extract it.... just copy it over to the hpc and install it by double clicking.

Thank you so very much for your advice. It worked and I am now using Avantgo! I really appreciate the time you took to help me out and I hope you have a great weekend!
