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

Vertigo 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 Vertigo.

Vertigo 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.
