I want to upgrade my SX 56 to Pocket PC 2003

How do I do it? I just bought the phone from BuyPhotoSound.com. It came preloaded with Special Edition Rom v 1.2. I want to upgrade to Pocket PC 2003. HOW??? Let me know.

Cook a new ROM in one of those kitchens

select the ROM type to be EXE and down load the cooked file to your PC (around 17 MB)
Connect your xda to the PC and sync then run the EXE file and follow the instructions

T-Mobile MDA compact with PocketPC platform can't run .exe

This is my first post and I have looked around but it seems no one has the same problem with me or I could miss something.
I just got a MDA compact from T-Mobile UK. I wanted to install some applications but I can only use .CAB files. When I tried to execute a .exe file it says "'file_name' is not a valid Pocket PC application". After that I found out my MDA using Pocket PC platform.
Question is how I can use those .exe files. Would upgrading ROM help?
If they are the correct .exe programs for Pocket PC 2003 SE then I believe they can be installed via ActiveSync.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

By far the most .exe files you can download from the Internet for a PocketPC are actually installers that need to be run on your desktop PC, not on the PocketPC itself. Make sure your PocketPC is connected to your PC and ActiveSync is running, then try starting these .exe on your PC.
If your desktop machine is a Mac or any other non-Windows PC, you are out of luck basically - then you need to ask someone with a Windows PC to run these .exe for you, grab the extracted .cab from some temporary directory, and give those to you.

Just for the sake of completeness, you cannot install Smartphone software on a Pocket PC, despite the similarly-named OS :wink:
misunderstanding
so far that I know, exe can only be executed on the desktop pc. while cab files u can executed it in ur pocket pc.
Omg...I'm so dumb...
Thanks a bunch guys

What pc-suite are you trying to install? I only think the HTC-sync is to be installed for the Hero. That is to be found on youre sd-card or downloadable @HTC.
Please tell us more about the 'pc-suite' you are trying to install. Never heard of it. HTC-sync is just a normal .exe that is to be installed as you normally install .exe-files.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh still dont work
i am installing it from the download from the htc site i have tried running ms clean up utility no joy i have also tried it on a blank profile still no joy i need help on this this is doin my head in

Simples.
(If you later have issues getting the PC to 'see' the Hero, have a look at this)
Duplicate - please ignore / delete depending on level of power!

Sorry. Not so simples then
HTC Sync 2.0.33 which was released yesterday does not solve the problem. Installing vcredist package does not work for me (probably due to presence of newer version). But I found walkaround.
Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) from Microsoft site (www_microsoft_com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=32BC1BEE-A3F9-4C13-9C99-220B62A191EE&displaylang=en). Note it's x86 version released on 4/10/2006 with no service pack.
Unzip vcredist_x86.exe. There's only one file VCREDI~1.EXE
Unzip VCREDI~1.EXE to %TEMP%/IXP001.TMP/ directory (create one).
Launch HTC Sync install
Im not sure if it's neccessary but i also copied registry branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7}
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Unable To Install Software

Hi Everyone,
New member here. First timer to WM phones. Bought the Hermes 2 months back, which came upgraded with WM6., but since then unable to connect to PC. Device not detected via ActivSync 4.5. Also downloaded some software from http://www.htcfreeware.com/ , but , some ( Like Skype ) dont install , message " This is not a PPC software " , any tips ?
pretty much all exe you download for ppc are exe files for the pc not the ppc
when you get installl programs for ppc they are called cab
the exe files are pc programs which using activesync install the cab on the ppc
if you try to run a pc progra on a ppc you get the error msg
" This is not a PPC software "
sometimes one can on the pc rename the exe to zip as many are just selfextracting zip files
and then manualy copy out the cab file
