3. Click the language you want, then click Next.

   • PalmOS – for any Palm OS device (not for Palm-branded devices running a Microsoft OS)

   • Pocket PC – for non-phone devices with "Pocket PC" in the branding, including Windows Mobile 5 devices (the installer automatically detects older Pocket PC vs. newer Windows Mobile 5 or 6 Pocket PC and installs the correct version)

   • PPC-Smartphone – for Microsoft Smartphone devices (does not work with other "Smartphone" devices that do not have Microsoft in the branding)

   • Windows – for any device with a Win32 operating system, for example, Tablet PCs and laptops

   A Download dialog will show you the progress of the file transfer and display the message Download Complete when the file is copied into the folder you selected.

   Note

   Make sure that the Close this dialog box when download completes checkbox is not selected. If you leave this checkbox selected, you will have to manually locate the installer file on your hard disk.

9. When the download is complete, click Run to start the InstallShield Wizard.

   Note

   If the installer detects a secure digital (SD) card on your device, you will be prompted to install on the SD card vs. the device main memory.

   On Windows Mobile 5 and 6 and Microsoft Smartphone, a dialog pops up on the device asking whether you want to install to the device main memory or to the SD card.

   On Pocket PC, you will see a dialog on the desktop asking whether you want to install to the "default location" (device main memory)—if you choose NO, you will see a dialog that allows you to select the SD card as the installation target.

   Be sure that you understand the issues involved before you choose to install M-Business Client on your SD card. See Installing M-Business Client to use a secure digital (SD) card on your Microsoft OS device.

   If the Download dialog closed after completing, you can use Windows Explorer to search for the installer file name listed in step 2 in your browser window. Double-click the installer file to continue with the next step below.
