Overview > Product Requirements

DayNotez™ for Pocket PC works with DayNotez™ for desktop, so the following requirements are for the desktop as well as the handheld device.

 

PC System Requirements:

Windows 2000, XP, or 2003 Server (may work under 98/98SE and Windows ME but is not officially supported)
Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 or later (including ActiveSync 4.x)
Jet OLE DB driver version 4 or greater. We recommend installing the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.5 SP2 or greater. You may wish to install MDAC 2.6 or 2.7 with JET 4.0 SP3 to get an even more up to date release.

 

Handheld Requirements:

Windows Mobile based 2003, 2003SE, WM 5.0 Pocket PC's (including Pocket PC Phone Edition) or Windows Mobile v6/v6.1 Classic and Professional devices
Requires .NET Compact Framework 2.0 (included and installed with DayNotez setup if not already installed)
Requires SQL Server Compact v3.5 SP1 (included and installed with DayNotez setup if not already installed)
Approximately 995KB free storage space minimum; addition space will be required if the device does not have the NETCF and SQL Server Compact components installed taking up to another 2.5 MB of storage. In addition, DayNotez requires approximately 4 MB of free program space to run.
DayNotez, .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and SQL Server Compact components can be installed to a storage card.

 

Desktop Ink Viewing Requirements:

This product makes use of Microsoft DLLs installed with ActiveSync software. Certain versions of RichInk.dll installed with ActiveSync will not translate ink data accurately. If the ink object on the desktop loses its fill color or if the ink object is lost when synchronized to the other platform, please check this file version. The file will be installed in the ActiveSync directory which defaults to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync".

Testing has shown that the 3.1.0.9558 seems to be the best at being able to handle formatted text and ink most accurately. Note that the 3.1.1.1038 is quite old but version-wise appears to be the newest. Installing newer ActiveSync versions WILL NOT update this DLL.

 

If you have the 3.1.1.1038 version, delete this file and reinstall/update to ActiveSync 3.8 (or ActiveSync 4.1 if running a 4.0/4.1 version) to update this file.

 

The 3.1.1.0 version shipped with ActiveSync 4.1 may cause display issues such that ink objects having a fill color will be displayed as transparent. If you have access to the 3.1.0.9558 version from a ActiveSync 3.x installation, it is possible to copy this file into a 4.1 installation.

 

DayNotez™ Desktop is incompatible with InkObj.dll v1.0.1038.0 and may generate a "Floating point division by zero" error under certain conditions. The DLL is usually installed in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink" folder. To work around this, install a newer version of this DLL. Installing Microsoft Windows Journal Viewer 1.5 will update this DLL and can be downloaded at:

Once the Journal Viewer is installed, it is safe to uninstall the Viewer as the updated InkObj.dll will remain. If you do not have this file installed there is no need to take any action (DayNotez™ will function without this DLL installed).
