Fanfare for Windows Pocket PC computers

1.0 Downloading the Fanfare files

The Fanfare download consists of a single executable file named Install_Fanfare_PPC.exe or Install_Fanfare_PPC.cab (0.4 MB).

Fanfare uses the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework and the framework files need to be installed on the Pocket PC. If your Pocket PC does not already have the files installed, they should be downloaded and installed prior to running Fanfare.

Fanfare may be downloaded as an .EXE file to a PC and executed to launch ActiveSync, or as a .CAB file directly to a Pocket PC (or transferred from a PC) and opened on the device.

2.0 Downloading Fanfare help files

Online help is included with the Fanfare installation file and will be installed on the device. The help file can also be downloaded in HtmlHelp (chm) format to run on a Windows PC, or Acrobat (pdf) format.

Data input sheets are available for download in Acrobat (.pdf) format, A4 or Letter size.
