Use the InstallAid and/or UserManager routines or look at the InstallShield
example included with the CDK.

Subject: installing an application automatically
> Hi All
> Two simple questions please
> 1. How do I programatically install an application on the palm from the
desktop. That is to say I want the install shield to prompt the user to
press hotsync and my application should be installed on his/her palm. I
copied the appl into the Install folder of the u ser but the appl is not
transferred with hotsync... it doesn't even show up when I open
> Instapp to check.. but it says appl is already in download folder.
> 2. I want to get the owner name form the palm onto the desktop.. how do I
get the owner name ..
> PrefGetPreferences probably won't work as Preferences.h doesn't have
owner's name as a member
>
> Extremely sorry if they are pretty obvious questions..
