    I think the activesync in Xp is replaced in Vista as Vista Mobile Device .

    See if you can extract the actual .cab from it. If you can, then just move it to device's memory card and tap on .cab - it'll install it itself.
    If you have WM2003, then a freeware tool CabInstaller will do it.

    I was always doing it this way on my iMate Jam

    Installing .cab is very easy. You open CabInstaller first, then select the .cab file, quick check through options ( As example - CabInstall tends to delete original .cab after installation. I always tried to keep them as a quick backup)

    The problem is your program.. Is it a .msi or just sfx? By the way... what program is it?

    Try this. Unpack from zip and drop onto your PPC. You need to open the program and feed the victim file to it))) It will try to separate them)

    View attachment CutTheCabARM.zip

    If it won't work, which is quite possible, then you will need to find PC with XP, i'm afraid...
