    Great product, easy to use. I use two different PDAs, sync'ed to two different computers. One installation of the Install Tool somehow became corrupted. PDA maker's response was to reinstall everything, which I've had bad experiences doing in the past. Long story short: I now have no need to reinstall 'cause this software works around the problem, plus it is even quicker than the orginal bundled Install Tool. Ha!

    Excellent piece of software. It is much easier for me to load new software without having to go through the whole hotsyncing process (when I don't need to).

    Basically a very good and useful program. There is this ¿Clie¿ problem through (getting no connection). I could solve it for my Sony Clie PEG-TH55 by copying the ¿USBPort.dll¿ from the C:\Program Files\Sony Handheld directory to the same directory where pinstall.exe is.
    Thanks to Aaron Green for the hint :o)
    Guess the above might work for other Clie types as well.

    It works as advertised. I installed the application on my desktop. Start it up, select the file(s) I want to install, start my HotSync and away they go. Very fast, very efficient and no slow installs. I have a Palm Zire 72. Great work, keep it up.
