How do I install my files using a Mac?

We do not offer a Macintosh version of the Pocket PC and Windows CE files. However, you can still install using a Macintosh. Download the Windows setup files from your Laridian account.  They will have an EXE file ending. The Windows EXE files are self-extracting ZIP files which can be read by a number of different utilies. Some versions (but not all) of StuffIt Expander, which often comes pre-installed on Mac computers, can read self-extracting Zip files. Some versions cannot.  If your version of StuffIt Expander can't read the files then another good utility is Zip It. It can be downloaded and installed from http://www.maczipit.com/.

  • If you are installing an application such as PocketBible, DailyReader, Memorize, or the eTracts:
    1. Use your utility application (such as Zip It) to extract the appropriate CAB file for your device type. Most devices being used today will need the file with ARM in the file name. With Windows Mobile 5.0 or 6.0, the file will have ARMWM5 in the file name (such as PocketBiblePktPC.ARMWM5.CAB).
    2. Copy that CAB file to \Windows\Start Menu on your Pocket PC or Windows CE handheld.
    3. On your handheld, select Start and then tap the name of the file you copied and the installation will occur. The file will then disappear from the Start menu and an icon will be found under Programs.
  • If you are installing a Bible or book:
    1. Use your utility application to extract the LBK or LDR file.
    2. Copy the LBK or LDR file to \My Documents\Laridian Books in main memory or on a storage card.
    3. Use the appropriate application on your handheld to open the file you just copied over (such as PocketBible or DailyReader).
