How to install/upgrade/reinstall Mobile Time and Expense from the Software Library

MTE can be found in C:\Program Files\PeopleSoft Applications\Mobile Time and Expense. You can launch it by clicking Start, then Programs and then PeopleSoft Applications.
Non-PGS employees with other laptop builds must use the Software Library to install Mobile Time and Expense. The only accepted workstation platform for MTE is Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.
