Installing Pylon

Caution

Note

Note

Once you have followed the steps outlined in the section, “Before you install” (page 37), you are ready to move on to installing Pylon Conduit or Pylon Pro on both your desktop computer and your mobile device.

When you are installing Pylon you will be prompted to choose from one of two install options:

Typical

Installs all conduits: Mail, Calendar, Address Book, To Do, Memo Pad (Palm OS only), and Expense (Palm OS only). If you have purchased Pylon Pro, choosing Typical install option also installs Pylon Pro custom database conduits.

Custom

Installs only the PIM conduits you choose. If you have purchased Pylon Pro, choosing the Custom install option also installs Pylon Pro custom database conduits. If you choose not to install certain PIM conduits at this time, but later wish to install them, you will need to reinstall Pylon at that time.

Think about which option you will choose before you initiate the installer.

Be sure to place your Pylon installer file (pylondesktopPocket PC.exe or pylondesktoppalm.exe) in a permanent location where you can easily find it. You may need to run it again to modify or repair your Pylon installation. See “Modifying your Pylon installation” (page 49) and “Repairing your Pylon installation” (page 51).

If your installation fails to complete successfully, first see “Troubleshooting: Installing” (page 180). If the information there does not provide a solution, consult the Pylon technotes that are linked from the Pylon Technical Support page, referenced in “Related publications” (page 21).

To install Pylon:

1.Place your Pocket PC or Palm OS device in its cradle and perform a final sync. After syncing, leave your device in its cradle.

2.Close Lotus Notes.

3.Double-click the installer file pylondesktopPocket PC.exe or pylondesktop- palm.exe.

If you forgot to uninstall a previous version of Pylon software that is running on your desktop, you will receive a prompt asking if you want to uninstall at this time. Click Yes to uninstall, then double- click the installer file again to restart the installation process.
