If your downloads are in .zip format then you need to unzip it using programs such as winzip http://www.winzip.com/aboutzip.htm
on your desktop then follow the instruction from MS below.
ActiveSync: Installing Applications
4/9/2003
---When you download Pocket PC software, the files will be one of two types: .cab and .exe.
Cabinet or .cab files are installed from your Pocket PC. To install a .cab file:
Connect your Pocket PC to your computer and be sure that ActiveSync opens.
If you have chosen to sync Files, drag the .cab files from your computer to the "Pocket PC My Documents" folder on your desktop. Or open the ActiveSync window on your PC and click Explore. Then copy the file from your PC to the Pocket PC's Explorer window.
On your Pocket PC, go to Start > Programs > File Explorer. Using the main window and the hierarchical menu in the upper left hand corner, go to the folder where the .cab file now exists.
Tap on the .cab file and it should now install the application on your Pocket PC.
--Executable or .exe files are installed from you desktop. To install an .exe file:
Connect your Pocket PC to your computer and be sure that ActiveSync opens.
Click on the .exe on your desktop and it should launch an installer.
Follow the steps in the installer wizard (if there are any).
If your Pocket PC is connected, an Add/Remove Programs window should open up on top of the ActiveSync window. If it this window doesn't open, go to Tools > Add/Remove Programs... and check the box next to any applications you'd like to install.
In the dialog box, uncheck "Install program into the default installation folder" if you want to install the application onto a memory card. Then choose the appropriate location from the next drop down menu.
After the application has been transferred to your Pocket PC, you will see a dialog asking you to check your device for further instructions.
In most cases you will not need to do anything on your Pocket PC, but check it just in case you need to reset or configure your device.
