System Requirements
To install and run ERG 2008 Mobile you need the following:
·	A "Smartphone" (non-touch screen) device running Windows Mobile 5.0 or later (Windows Mobile devices with a touch screen, also referred to as Pocket PC phones, must download and install ERG 2008 Mobile for Pocket PC)
·	A device with 64MB or more of RAM is recommended, though a 32 MB device is adequate
·	Approximately 6 MB of storage memory, either on the device or on an expansion card, for ERG Mobile and the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework
·	Approximately 5 MB of program memory to run the ERG Mobile application
·	A personal computer, on which is installed the required device synchronization software. On Windows XP, Microsoft ActiveSync 4 or later is required. On Windows Vista, Windows Mobile Device Center is required and is already part of Vista, but it must be upgraded to version 6 or later. For the latest versions of either, go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/default.mspx.
To determine the version of the device’s operating system and the amount of available memory, select StartàSettingsàAbout.
Installation 
If a previous version of ERG 2008 Mobile is already installed, see the Upgrade Instructions section below.
The ERG Mobile installation consists of two parts: installation to your desktop/laptop PC (documentation and files required for device synchronization), and installation to your Smartphone device.  After the PC portion of the installation, your device synchronization software will download ERG Mobile to your device and launch its installation.  If your device is not connected, then the ERG Mobile installation will continue the next time it is connected.
Quick-Start Instructions
1.	Connect your device to your PC.
2.	Download the setup program (ERG_Smartphone_Setup.exe) to your PC and run it.
3.	The PC files, including this README, will be installed. 
4.	The Smartphone setup program will start and install ERG Mobile onto your device.
5.	Respond to prompts presented on your phone, including whether ERG Mobile should be installed to the default location on the device, or an alternative location (e.g., a storage card).
6.	Upon completion of the installation, run ERG 2008 Mobile by selecting the icon of the same name under the Start menu.
Detailed Instructions
1.	Download to your PC the ERG_Smartphone_Setup.exe setup program from the DOT website and run it (double-click it). This installs the ERG Mobile documentation to your PC, as well as the files that will be downloaded and installed to your device during synchronization.  By default, these files are located under the folder "C:\Program Files\DOT ERG 2008 Mobile\Smartphone", and consist of:
	C:\Program Files
		\DOT ERG 2008 Mobile
			\Smartphone
README.rtf (this file)
				\DeviceInstallerFiles (files downloaded to the device during synchronization)
2.	When the PC installation completes, the device installation is launched.  This will install the following:
a.	system dependencies: Microsoft .NET CF (Compact Framework) 2.0
b.	ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone application and database files
3.	If the .NET Compact Framework is already installed on your device, you will first receive a prompt on your PC: “Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 is already installed. Do you want to proceed with the re-install/upgrade?” Answering “yes” is recommended to ensure that you have the latest version (for example, new service packs may be included).
NOTE: even if installation to a storage card is desired, the ERG Mobile installation files must still be temporarily downloaded to the device; if the installer presents a "Not Enough Space On Device" dialog, then cancel the installation and follow the instructions in the section below titled, "Resolving Installation Errors".
After completion of the PC portion of the installation, respond to the prompts presented on you device. NOTE that your phone may "go to sleep" during the installation process; reactivate it as necessary so the prompts can be responded to, else the installation process may time-out and fail.
1.	If you elected to re-install/upgrade the Microsoft .NET CF, a prompt will be presented indicating that the existing version will be removed before the new one is installed.  Select “OK”.
2.	If your device has a storage card, you will be prompted on the device to choose a location (Device or Card) to install each of the following:
a.	Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 – this must be installed to the device
b.	ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone – note that optimum performance will be realized by installing to the device
3.	An unknown publisher warning for the “DOT ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone.CAB” will be presented. Answer “Yes”.
4.	You may be prompted to restart the device.
5.	Upon completion of the installation, run ERG 2008 Mobile by selecting the icon of the same name in the Start menu.
NOTE: even if there is enough space on the device to download the installation files, there may still not be enough room to install ERG Mobile if installation to the device is desired. If the device indicates that "Installation of DOT ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone.CAB was unsuccessful," then follow the instructions below in the "Resolving Installation Errors" section.
ERG Mobile is installed under the folder “\Program Files\ERG 2008 Mobile” on either the device or storage card, depending on what was selected for the destination.
Upgrade Instructions
An upgrade is performed the same as a normal installation, but with the following considerations. Note that user settings (preferences) will be retained.
1.	Ensure ERG Mobile is not already running on your phone by recycling the phone's power.
2.	During the installation of the new version of ERG Mobile, you will see dialogs on your PC displaying the following notifications. In each case, select “Yes”, including for the Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 component, since the installation may include updates to it.
·	“ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone is already installed. Do you want to proceed with the re-install/upgrade?” 
·	“Microsoft .NET CF 2.0 is already installed. Do you want to proceed with the re-install/upgrade?”
3.	For both the Microsoft .NET CF and ERG Mobile, alerts will be presented on the device indicating that the previous version will be removed before the new one is installed.  Select “OK”.
NOTE: Even if ERG Mobile is already installed on the device, there may not be enough space on the device to download the files required to launch installation of the new version. Even if installation to a storage card is desired, the ERG Mobile installation files must still be temporarily downloaded to the device. If the installer presents a "Not Enough Space On Device" dialog, then cancel the installation and follow the instructions below in the "Resolving Installation Errors" section.
Resolving Installation Errors
This section describes the typical causes of installation errors and how to resolve them.
SCENARIO #1: “Not Enough Space On Device” error is displayed on the PC.
Cause:
This error is presented on the PC when it attempts to download the ERG Mobile installation files to the device, but there is not enough space. The message will include an indication of the amount of space available and the amount required. Note that even if the desire is to install ERG Mobile to an expansion card, space is still temporarily required on the device during the install.
Solution:
1.	Delete unneeded files and/or programs to free up space on the device
OR
2.	Manually install ERG Mobile to a storage card
Procedure:
If manual installation of ERG Mobile to a storage card is required, the procedure is as follows:
1.	Using File Explorer on the PC, you can access the file system (including the storage card) of the connected device, and thus copy to the card the "CAB" files that must executed to complete the installation. The CAB files are available on the PC under
	C:\Program Files\DOT ERG 2008 Mobile\Smartphone\DeviceInstallerFiles
	They consist of the following
		NETCFv2.wm.armv4i.cab (installs the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework, required by ERG Mobile)
		ErgApplication.ARM.CAB (installs ERG Mobile)
2.	Once these files have been copied to the storage card, open up File Explorer on the device and navigate to the storage card.
3.	Select each CAB file to launch its installation.
4.	Each installation will prompt for the location where the install should occur: the device or storage card. For .NET, choose the device; for ERG Mobile, choose the storage card.
5.	The CAB files may be deleted after completion of the installation.
SCENARIO #2: “Installation of DOT ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone.CAB was unsuccessful” due to lack of space
Cause:
This error is presented on the device. One of its causes is a lack of storage space: the device contains enough space to download the installer files, but there is not enough remaining space to complete the installation. (Another cause is a timeout; see scenario #3 below.)
Aside from deleting unneeded files and/or programs to free up space on the device, there are two solutions: install ERG Mobile to a storage card, or install ERG Mobile from the storage card to the device.
Solution #1:
Install ERG Mobile to the storage card:
1.	 Repeat the installation.
2.	When the device prompts for the location to install ERG Mobile , choose the storage card instead of the device.
Solution #2:
Install ERG Mobile from the storage card. If the CAB files are executed from the storage card instead of the device, this will likely free up enough space to install ERG Mobile to the device.
The procedure is the same as the procedure above for scenario #1, in which the CAB files required for installation are copied to and executed from a storage card. When prompted for the location for the install, select the device or the card as desired.
SCENARIO #3: “Installation of DOT ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone.CAB was unsuccessful” due to a timeout
Cause:
This error is presented on the device. One of its causes is the failure to respond to prompts presented on the device, and the installation eventually times out. (Another cause is lack of storage space; see scenario #2 above.)
When installation of ERG Mobile is launched on the device, a prompt will be presented indicating that the software is from an unknown publisher.  In the case of an upgrade, there is also a prompt alerting that the previous installation is about to be uninstalled. If these prompts are not acknowledged, the install will eventually time out.
Solution:
Repeat the installation.
Smartphone devices often are set to "go to sleep" after a short interval; if this occurs, you may not see the prompts. Once download to the device completes, re-active the device as necessary (e.g., press the directional key to "wake up" the device) so you can monitor the progress of the install.
Uninstalling
PC Uninstall 
The PC portion of the ERG Mobile installation can be uninstalled from your PC via the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs option. Select the “ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone" entry in the list of programs, and press its remove button.
Smartphone Uninstall
There are two ways to uninstall ERG Mobile from your Smartphone:
1.	On the device, go to StartàSettingsàSystemàRemove Programs. Select "ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone" from the list of programs, and then select Remove.
2.	If your device is connected to your PC, open your syncronization software (e.g., ActiveSync) and select ToolsàAdd/Remove Programs. A dialog listing the applications on your device is displayed. Find "ERG 2008 Mobile for Smartphone" and clear the checkbox.
ERG Mobile’s third party dependency, “Microsoft .NET CF 2.0”, can be uninstalled in the same way IF you are sure that it is not needed by other applications on your device.
