You may have missed that you need the .net compact framework installed to run this game - it's downloaded from here

Also the .exe file should be run from your PC to install it onto your ax.

If you have PPC2003 I don't think you'll need the .net framework but the exuctables are for your pc and activesync will automatically install it on your ppc.

If you downloaded them WITH your PPC, you need to just get the .cab files and probably an unzip program. On your PPC once you unzip a .cab file, it will install.

If you downloaded them from your PC, like the posts above me say, run the .exe from your PC and Activesync will install them. As you just found out, .exe files do not run on PPC's.
