Having problems trying to install RealPlayer
(http://www.realnetworks.com/industries/serviceproviders/mobile/products/pla
yer/ppc/
via AS.41. When it gets to the point of installing it stops--stating "You
must install Active Sync 3.1 to install this program." Tried it several
time with same result(don't they call that insanity?) Any ideas or other
programs that play streaming Real Player? Thanks.

Have you contacted RealPlayer? Someone here may have a work around (you
could revert to 3.x [I recall RP installed under that] then upgrade again to
4.1) but the end problem lies with the RP install.

Hi Mike,
you may try to copy the cab file, while running the setup exe (means
that you don't hit return when the error msg pops up).

On my system, the setup files are extracted to
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Temp\~rnsetup
In this folder, look for realplayer.cab
Copy this file to your PPC and open it on the PPC directly.
Disclaimer: Use this at your own risk. You got a backup of your PPC
files, right?

Greetings,
Bernd.
