Hi.

I am trying to install this software onto my AT&T Tilt. It has Java, but I do not know how to get installed. ActiveSync Add/Remove programs doesn’t find it where I saved it on my hard drive, and The direct install method gives a permission javax.microedition.location.Location is not available on this device. -58 error.

Can I do something different to make this work?
