If you install a file that contains an update or repair to an
existing application, you can only restore the original
application if you have the original installation file or a
full back-up copy of the removed software package. To
restore the original application, remove the application,
and install the application again from the original
installation file or the backup copy.

Tip! You can also use Nokia Application Installer

available in Nokia PC Suite to install applications. See
the CD-ROM supplied with the phone.

The JAR file is required for installing Java applications. If it
is missing, the phone may ask you to download it. If there
is no access point defined for the application, you are
asked to select one. When you are downloading the JAR
file, you may need to enter a user name and password to
access the server. You obtain these from the supplier or
manufacturer of the application.
