If you run into problems with the installer, try going through these steps.
First, download Addition4Palm with windows synchronization; Then extract the zip file and then extract the mySetup.cab file into a folder.
Then:
1. Create the dir: C:\Program Files\Addition4Palm\ and move everything there.
2. install mathlib.prc and addition.prc on the palm, via install tool/hotsync manager
3. Create a directory named Addition4Palm inside your users directory, for example: C:\program files\palm\YOURUSERNAME\Addition4Palm
4. copy AddiConv.dll and Addition.dll to the main palm directory, for example: C:\program files\palm\...dll
5. Now for the real hard stuff:
- open regedit (start->run->regedit)
- go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER->SOFTWARE->US Robotics->PalmDesktop
- create a key named ApplicationN (where N is the next free number 1,2,3...)
- inside, create a String value named "Conduit" with the value "Addition.dll";
- new DWORD value named "Creator" with value: 41444449 (hexadecimal)
- new String value named "Directory" with value "Addition4Palm"
- new String value named "Module" with value "Addition4Palm Conduit"
- new DWORD value "Priority" with value 2
- create a key named "Addition" on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
- inside, create a key named "Addition4Palm"
- inside that, create a String value named "installdir" with value "C:\Program Files\Addition4Palm" (if that's the place where you've copied everyting.
- a String value named "formHeight" with value 3405
- a String value named "formWidth" with value 2355
- a String value named "formXScreen" with value 6120
- a String value named "formYScreen" with value 4185
