Andrey Tkachuk (MLO)
Here are the installation instructions of MLO-PPC FINAL only for those
who previously installed BETA version.
You do not need these instructions if you are installing MLO-PPC first
time of updating it from version 1.6.4 or later.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THOSE WHO ARE USING MLO-PPC *BETA*.
PPC Side:
---------------
1. Important! Copy MLO-PPC beta cleanup utility
(http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/beta/MLOCleanUp.exe) to
your device first.
This is very important step because after uninstalling of MLO-PPC-Beta
your device can lose connection with ActiveSync and you would need to
recreate the partnership.
2. Uncradle your device.
3. Important! Perform soft reset of your PocketPC. This will
release system dll which is used in Today->New: command (MLO Rapid Task
Entry dialog).

the next step

Desktop side
-------------------
1. Uncradle your device and close ActiveSync window. (This is a

application.
