Have Windows Vista, can't install a program w/out activesync

[DexterDawg]

I'm running Vista and I have a program I need to put onto my Treo700WX. It's an .exe installer that gives me three options to install, palm os, smartphone, or ppc. Obviously I want the PPC version. When I try to run the file I get an error about not having activesync, which Vista doesn't use. Any thought on how to get this to load? BTW, to even make the installer run I have to change the compatability settings in Vista to XP SP2. I have spoken with the vendor and they don't plan to support Vista for a while. Thanks!

What program is it? Do you have the equivalent of Activesync installed on Vista? (I forgot the name).

Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) - and it's a separate install found here.

Yes, of course I have device center. What I hadn't tried was actually opening the device center software then trying the install. I've never actually had to click the desktop icon and then install programs before, and my device has always synced properly with the sync center in the task bar. It must have something to do with the age of the software or something. So I guess it should be noted with Vista users sometimes it's necessary to actually open the center and then install software.

The software is called Handheld MMR. It's a database program that allows access to auction history from all of Manheim's auctions (They are the largest wholesale car auction company). So basically when we go get vehicles at the auction I always know the current high, low, and average price of any car selling.

Glad it worked out! I was just wondering what app it was to try and find a CAB file, but no need now!
