Hello,

yesterday (current CVS) i gave PalmDesktop_414_DE.zip a try. The installer 
completed (no error message) but did not install any file. I thing the 
problem are inside msi, but i am still searching for it.

If you may get the unicode version of the msi installer working and use , you 
might have some luck. I never managed it. With the ascii version of the msi 
installer i run into problem with missing comXXX.drv.

Some time ago i had Version 3 of the palm desktop running, but i did not 
remember how id did it. I had to add a hardware related registy key. 
Something about com ports.

I have not tried other versions of the Palm Desktop.

Bye Stefan
