It's somewhat confusing, but with little research, or reading my post, all your questions about Windows Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC 2003) will be answered.
Dell created several updates for Pocket PC 2002. They are A00, A01, A02, A03 and A04.
Dell also created two ROMs for Windows Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC 2003). They are A04 and A05.
When Dell released A04 for Pocket PC, they were greeted with horrible results. They then released the A05 patch(R64365). If you already had the A04 Pocket PC 2003 ROM, you could update to A05.
What Dell soon realized is with the A03 or A04 patch for 2002, you could hack an install of Pocket PC 2003 from that A05 for 2003 update. That is why the A05 for 2003 update and the A03/A04 for 2002 updates have been removed from Dell's webpage.
The CD they are selling doesn't contain an update... It contains an installer that will go from any Pocket PC 2002 operating system (A00, A01, A02, A03 and A04) to A05 Pocket PC 2003.
So if you cannot install your A05 download(R64365), it is because you don't have 2003 already and you need to go buy the 2003 update CD. The R64365 download is meant to bring A04 for 2003 to A05 for 2003. That's all it will do. Go buy the update CD.
BTW, you must make sure your regional settings are correct. If you bought an English Upgrade CD, your Pocket PC must be set to English (United States). On the other hand, if you bought an English UK, yada yada yada...
Hope this helps!
