NotePad is installed on to your handheld computer using the 'Install New Program' service provided by your PsiWin software. However, some early versions of the PsiWin software do not provide this service.

To check if your copy of PsiWin supports this service, double click on the 'My Psion' icon on the Windows desktop. If the 'Install New Program' command is not available under the 'Psion' menu then you will need to upgrade PsiWin.

The files to upgrage PsiWin are supplied in the \EPOCINST\ directory on the same disk as this  program. To upgade PsiWin:

a) Click the 'Start' button on the PC and choose the 'Run...' option.

b) At the 'Open:' prompt, type the drive and path shown in this title bar followed by \EPOCINST\setup.exe

   For example, if this title bar shows:

        A:\setup.exe

   You would type:

        A:\EPOCINST\setup.exe

c) Accept the 'Run' dialog to automatically upgrade PsiWin.

Once you have upgraded PsiWin, to install NotePad:

a) Click the 'Start' button on the PC and choose the 'Run...' option.

b) At the 'Open:' prompt, type the drive and path shown in this title bar followed by NotePad.SIS

   For example, if this title bar shows:

        A:\setup.exe

   You would type:

        A:\NotePad.sis

c) Accept the 'Run' dialog to automatically install NotePad to your handheld computer.

Note that if Windows reports that it does not know which application is associated with a .SIS file, your copy of PsiWin has not been upgraded as described above.
