How to get Wherigo on Mio 168?

[+FamDa]

As the title already states; we have an Mitac Mio 168 that is used for Tom-Tom. We now want to extend our use to Wherigo.

 

We downloaded the zip file from Wherigo.com but I just cannot seem to get it installed. Anyone with a how-to-get-Wherigo-installed-on-my-Mitac-Mio-168-installation-guide-for-dummies?

Copy the zip file to folder on your PDA and run PlayerInstall on your PDA. Than you have the program available, but I was not able to get it running. It does not get a proper GPS connection.

You have to install Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package first. The link is on the download page of Wherigo as well. Leo

Hi,

 

I am having the same problem. I do not have a cable for my mio 168, so I am copying the PlayerInstall.CAB onto my SD card and then installing the player. I have installed the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package onto my computer before copying the file across, but as expected this didn't help. I have the Wherigo player application but it does not open. Any help would be appreciated.

I've now got it working

 

For anyone that has the same problem. I downloaded the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package but did not install it. It automatically saves this as NETCFSetupv2.msi on my PC. I then extracted all the files (using WinRAR or 7-zip) and found all the files containing CAB e.g. F_NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab.7268F488_53D1_4565_BEEC_1251BC587315. These are then renamed to end with .cab (e.g. F_NETCFv2.ppc.armv4.cab) and transfered using the SD card onto my pocket pc. I then installed every file that was compatible. Afterwards I copied across the Wherigo installer .cab and the Wherigo player now opens, albeit very slowly.
