    Simple Installer Released for VistaPosted By: Ryan on Monday, March 26, 2007 11:29:30 AM
Palm's set of tools for installing and transferring applications to Treo's and handhelds are currently not compatible with Windows Vista. Palm is certainly taking their time on an update, while Vista users go without critical Palm Desktop functionality. While there are some workarounds (installing via Bluetooth and downloading on-device over the air), a third party developer has released a new Vista compatible install tool. BTSolved's TreoVista Simple Installer software enables you to install PRC and PDB files on Vista. The program requires that Palm Desktop and hotsync software is installed. The utility is freeware and is considered beta.

I bought myself a new Core 2 Duo laptop recently and have Vista. I can really use that app. Good stuff! :)
NEW VERSION OF TREOVISTA
TreoVista Simple Installer has been renamed to PalmVista Simple Installer because it works with other palm devices on Vista.
The new version is 1.0.0.4 It now will install all Palm compatible files to handheld and any file to the default expansion card on the Palm PDA. http://btsolved.com Thank you, Von Wallace
This software is not free. It costs $9.95.
This software is not free. It costs $9.95. It must have changed when it came out of beta.

Hi, I paid for the new version and it never worked. It couldn't find my user count even though I had a new installation of hotSync (to work with Vista). I emailed Business Technology Solved who didn't reply and today I can't find their website. As a matter of interest the download from Best Vista Downloads doesn't work either...
Does anyone have any idea how to hotsync with vista? Have a great day  RE: Palm Vista Simple InstallerMusiqueGraeme @ 1/21/2008 11:16:38 AM #
I have to say that I finally tried reinstalling the Palm Desktop. I lost the possibility to hotsync photos but the Palm Vista Simple Installer has been working a dream since. It's been working hard too! Thanks Business Technology SOLVED.

I, of course, am not the LEAST bit surprised by this---look how so many PCs from the major OEMs in '05 and '06 shipped with Windows XP Media Center Edition. Yet Palm adamantly refused to even acknowledge support for anything BUT XP Home & XP Pro.
Sad, sad, sad.
