Windows Mobile on Nokia N96

surf7

All,

Is it possible to install windows mobile on a Nokia N96? If not, then is it possible to open and install windows software on the N96? For example, .exe files.

Cheers,

No you cant. Windows Mobile will only run on the hardware which it is designed for.

Thats what I thought about windows mobile, but just seeing if there was a way around it.
Is there any way of opening and installing .exe files on the Nokia N96?

No, nor can you on Windows Mobile.... they run .cad files for installation.

.exe files and designed for the Windows PC Operating system and the only outside sources that can run it is other computer platforms, not mobile phones.

What is it you are trying to run?

You are corect about the .cad files but you CAN install .exe on windows mobile.

You keep the Phone connected to the Computer and use windows mobile device centre (Vista equivalent of active-sync) then you simply run the .exe and if it is compatible with your device then it will install directly on it.

I do this on my PDA to install software and works a dream with no problem.

But sorry OP i can't help with your original question
