Install 1.3, no luck on Navigon 8410 and iPaq 4700

As a long term user of another software package I was stunned by the visual cleanliness of SkyDemon Plan.

I prepared the InFlight version, but cannot get it to work yet on two different systems.

1. On Navigon 8410, it does not start at all. I tried MioPocket, which managed to mess up my Navigon. Luckily I had a backup, so I could restore the Navigon

2. On my iPaq 4700, the program starts, rotates the screen from portrait to landscape, draws the side bar and the bottom altitude window, and then crashes with an exception.

Can either of these two issues be fixed? I would love to see the InFlight part work.

Alternatively, can SkyDemon Plan run from a self-contained USB stick (as 'some other rprogram' can)?

That's actually how it used to work, but by far the majority of use cases require the software to install the charts itself, which it cannot do to within the program directory because of normal security settings on Windows. This is why we changed it to look within My Documents.

I appreciate this is less than ideal for you, but short of suggesting perhaps a small batch utility to perform this copy operation for you automatically, I am unable to help.
