2577 autorun doesn't work

Hi all,
I've seen this problem alluded to elsewhere but I'm still confused.

I'm trying to install tomtom on an IPAQ3850.
Pocket PC 3
ARM SA1110 processor.

I have an SD card with the tomtom software, with 2577 folder which
holds autorun.exe, autorun.exe-run, ttn2003.cab and ttn.cab files.

When I insert the SD card I believe it should execute the autorun file
but nothing happens.

I have tried executing the ttn2003 cab file, which extracts, seems to
install but fails when I try to run via the tomtom icon.


Can someone explain the 2577 folder in simple terms?
ISTR the autorun file is taken out of the 2577 folder and copied into
the windows folder?
I believe autorun can be disabled in the registry. How do I turn it
on? I know my way round a real PC's registry but I didn't even know
PDAs had registries :-(
Should I be able to execute the autorun.exe in the 2577 folder and it
will install in the same way a CD works on a grown-up PC?

I, now, don't have a time to do some research on this; you might want to
repost your q to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260 . In
there, you'll surely get an answer.
