Installation
Plan may be supplied in various forms:
1. Pre-installed on an MMC.
In this case simply insert the MMC into the Communicator and Plan should appear as a new
application. It will appear as an icon either in the Extras or Desk group.
2. As a SIS file.
Use the standard mechanism for installing the SIS file, i.e. one of the following techniques:
• With the Communicator connected to your PC, use the software provided you’re your
Communicator to install the SIS file, e.g. double click on the SIS file from Windows
Explorer to start the install process.
• Transfer the SIS file to your Communicator and double click on it from the file
manager to start the installation.
If updating a previous installation of Plan then simply install the new version as normal – the
previous version will be detected and removed without removing any created project plans.
3. As a ZIP file for use with a Nokia 9210/9210i.
Within the ZIP file you will find a readme file, another ZIP file and a SIS file.
Install Plan onto the Communicator using the SIS file, as described in 2 above.
Within the ZIP file there is also a Microsoft Project to Plan converter for use with the Nokia
9210/9210i. This is supplied as a setup.exe program which is contained within the
PlanCnv.zip. Running the setup.exe will install an additional software component on your PC
into the "PC Suite 2.11 for Nokia Communicator" product supplied with a Nokia 9210/9210i
Communicator.
With this converter installed you can drag Microsoft Project files to your 9210/9210i
Communicator using Windows Explorer and they will be converted into Plan format
automatically. Please note the following points concerning the use of this optional PC based
converter:
• You must have the Nokia PC Suite 2.11 installed on your PC. It will not work with
other versions of the Nokia PC Suite, such as the version compatible with the Nokia
9300 or 9500. If you have a 9300 or 9500 check out the Twiddlebit “Plan for
Windows” which is the desktop PC version of Plan.
• MPP, MPD and MPX files can be copied and converted by dragging them to your
Communicator using Windows Explorer. For MPX files you will need to select to
convert them into Plan format rather than Word format.
• You cannot convert Plan files to Microsoft Project format by dragging Plan files from
your Communicator back to your PC. You must use the "Save as MPX" option within
Plan instead, and then copy the MPX file to your PC.
