Installing Dive Assistant - Pocket PC Edition is very simple. Once you
have downloaded the executable from the website run it. Running
the executable will start the desktop part of the installation process. This
will install all the components onto your Desktop PC and then start the
Pocket PC installation.
Dive Assistant - Pocket PC Edition uses the Microsoft Compact Framework 2.0.
Most Pocket PCs will not have this version of the Compact Framework installed. You can
download it from Microsoft's website:

The Pocket PC installation process will run automatically if the Pocket PC is connected to the PC. If not it will run the next time the Pocket PC is connected to the PC. There are 2 components installed as part of the Dive Assistant. They are the SQL Server component and the Dive Assistant component. If either component is already installed the installer will ask you if you want to overwrite the existing installation. There is the option to install the application to store cards or flash memory.
