I have no PC!

[gaboune]

hi. I am already in China and all I have is a pocket pc with WM5. Its brand new so Iam still unfamiliar with it.
After trying few times I came to the conclusion that it is not possible to instal .exe files directly on the PPC. Am I wrong? What do I need? a .cab file? Can someone provide me the demo in a .cab format? What else do I need? (Except a laptop)
Is this dictionnary availiable in anyother language? (I am thinking of french)
Thanks. I can't wait to use this tool!!!

It's not available in .cab format, but it is available in a "Manual Install" version (basically all of the data files bundled up in a .zip archive) - there are lots of .zip extracting utilities available for Pocket PC, if you don't already have one, so use one of those to extract the manual install archive to a folder and follow the steps in the instruction manual to copy the files to the correct locations on your Pocket PC.

And our software is only available in English at the moment.

ok thanks a lot. Actually, I finally borrowed someone's laptop and got to instal it.
NEW PROBLEM
When I was done trying the demo version, I decided to buy the software. As I opened the Pleco web site (with internet explorer), all the letters/font were now squares. Same for other web sites, untill I completely shut down the Pleco demo.
Questions: Why is it doing that? How do I make it not do that? Will I have the same trouble with full version?
Is the pleco dict allowing me to vew chinese characters?
Thanks

This is caused by a bug in Windows Mobile, one which we think we can work around for Pleco 2.0 but which there's no way for us to fix with anything short of a major rewrite. You would indeed have the same trouble with the full version, so if you can't live with having to exit PlecoDict before running IE, it would probably be best to hold off on buying it until we release 2.0.
