How do I install ANY application - PLEASE HELP THIS NEWBIE

Ok, this is driving me INSANE. I have been all over the Internet, Handango, etc to try to get a little unzip application. No matter WHAT application I get, making SURE it's for Windows Mobile "certified" EVERY time the file opens I get

"This is not a valid pocket pc application"

WHY? ARRGH. If it's FOR Windows Mobile, and I download it directly from Handango or somewhere, WHY will it not install???

What am I doing wrong? Can someone please help this frustrated newbie and tell me how, step by step, to install an application correctly? I would TOTALLY appreciate it and I think I got it from here. I just need this one nudge to get me on my way. Thanks much!

You must install that file to your pc, which will then install it to your ppc. I know, it sucks.

Here's a link to a real good tutorial:
Installing, Running and Uninstalling Software

Be aware that since you have WM5, you do not need to get the utility mentioned in the tutorial to install CAB files - it's integrated into the OS now.
