You download the file from here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/windowsmobile/downloads/evb.aspx to
the "Desktop" you then run activ-sync and select "EXPLORE" go to the
desktop and then right click on the file and select copy. You then go
to your pocket device and open a folder on THE POCKET PC and you
transefer that file via "PASTE" after the file has been pasted to your
pocket PC you then double click on it to open in the POCKET PC and not
the computer. (As per instructions from Microsoft below)

eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime for Pocket PC 2003
Please Read Before Installing the eMbedded Visual Basic Runtime

For End-Users of Pocket PC 2003 Devices

  a.. The eMbedded Visual Basic (eVB) Runtime allows you to run legacy
eVB application on your Pocket PC 2003 device.
  b.. You should not download the eVB Runtime unless you have a Pocket
PC 2003 device as it does not work on other versions of Pocket PC.
  c.. The eVB download is approximately 2.7MB. As such, we strongly

    1.. You can connect your Pocket PC to your desktop using
ActiveSync and download using the desktop pass-through feature. For
more information, please see the "Connect to a network or the Internet
through ActiveSync" topic in the ActiveSync documentation.
    2.. You can download the eVB Runtime file directly to your desktop
using Internet Explorer. Using the ActiveSync "Explore" feature, you
can then download the CAB file to your Pocket PC 2003 device. Once you
have downloaded the file to the device, you can use "File Explorer" to
browse to the file and tap on it to install.
  d.. If you are installing the eVB runtime on a Pocket PC 2003 device
which is not an English device, you may get an error indicating
"Failed to load resource DLL MSDAEKO.DLL" during installation. You can
safely ignore this error, tap "OK", and continue installation.
