Hi all
I can't install programs in .cab format because in the cruise I see the files....
.EXE ( I have an Opera browser icon)when I tap over the .exe icon, Opera starts.
and when I tap the other files .cab the message is :THERE'S NO APPLICATION......
I'm Italian, so I have a Italian version, hope my english is not so bad
thank's all
CAB
I don't know much English- but if get your trouble - doesn't go the install set CAB ?? Insert in apparatus or on card memoirs and there research worker find where be given to and click on set will alone already install.Over Windows doesn't go .Only in apparatus.
Clear English my friend . So, what you wanna tell is that only on the device the .cab will work?
When you unzip de cab file in Windows, you will see these files (exe and others) so I think that your device is unpacking the cab file instead of installing the cab.
When you go to Windows Explorer and then tap the .cab file, do you see also the exe files?

Hey Guys,
I have been customising my extended rom so when I hard reset I get all the applications I want (Resco file explorer etc). I have been doing this with .cab files fine.
The problem is that I have files which are .exe setup files (e.g Flash player 6). These have to be installed on the PC, and the cab is copied to the XDA and run. I would like to just have e.g a flash CAB file to put on the extended ROM.
is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom?
I know some .exe setup files can be extracted using winrar which then give you the cab file, flash player isnt one of them though.
Regards,
Jez.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to look for the path where your Desktop Exes are extracted to PocketPC Cabs:
Look for this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"InstalledDir"="k:\system\hardware\pda\imate\ASync"
Now, open your Windows Explorer and go to the path. You will find your cabs in corresponding folders (e.g, folder MacromediaFlash shall contain Flash6.arm.cab and etc...)
If you need to do more complex restoration, use Restorator tool. It restores your directory and file structure, registry settings, installs cabs, writes boot screens and does everything nice...
Oh my god, you are both bloody geniouses!!
This is wicked, cheers guys!

Any other ways to xtracting & repacking to cab?
Renaming the file format (exe to any formats) & exe xtractor software doesn't work.
I can compress any data to .cab, but how to xtract perfectly exe files?
Convert EXE to Cab online without having to download any software
If you have an EXE file that you would normaly run on your PC to install a sofware... it looks like this online converter work to have it converted into a cab file for your cell phone!!!
try it!
1- first you need to compress your EXE file into a ZIP folder... that will create a ZIP file on your desktop.
2- then you go to http://media-convert.com/convert/
3- browse on the first field to determine witch file on your pc you want to convert .. select the ZIP file you just created...
4- on the second part of the page you will be ask what format you want to convert your ZIP file to .. on the scrolldown menu select . CAB... and hit the convert button .. the online service will do the rest ..
Basicaly will upload your file onto their server , process it and render it to you on a file download link ...
There you go you have now a CAB version of your EXE file to upload on your phone with ActiveSync...
My problem
how to say... the site is cool ,and i get my file converted. However, the nature of that file hasn't been changed into a cab. it is still an exe. I dunno if i have done something wrong when converting.
How do I install a cab file please.?On my Mda 2 ?I installed the mppc 2003 SE merged rom up date (from this site), on my MDA 2 and it worked oK for a couple of days then the device hard reset itself and there was no camera soft ware on it anymore. I thought if I installed the camera software on its own from this site that might be the answer. But it is in cab file form and I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN/ can anyone help please?
Installing a CAB file is easy...with ActiveSync, drag the file from your PC to your PDA (I drag them to the windows dir, but not sure if this is really necessary).
Then, go to your PDA, to the dir where you dropped the CAB, and just click it once...that is all.
About your other probs, I have no idea...I guess I need more info.
Good luck.
more details about installing cab files?
thanks for your answer. I'm hopeful - but I'm really not very technical. Can I ask more details? When I open the "camera cab file" I get a screen full of little icons all the same. Is each of these a seperate cab file? - do I open the "camera cab" folder, and then drag each one of these little icons seperately to my pocket pc document folder. Or should I NOT open the "camera" folder but just drag the WHOLE folder into my pocket pc document folder - and then active sync with my mda 2. I wish there was a site where I could see the instrucions clearly - with DIAGAMMEs! is there such a site? thanks...
copy the whole cab file
hi guys i recently posted a topic on o2 gprs probs. i have found the settings and downloaded them in .cab formatt. but how do i install them on to the fone or if not what folder do they need to be in?
i have placed them inthe ppc files directory and clicked to install bu it displays a message sayin they cant be installed.

i'm glad you got there in the end :lol:

Well the .cab files are the installation-packages for WinMobile. You need to transfer this .cab file direct to your device(or card) and via any file-exploring software start this .cab. The installation should be started. If you get an error,there can be few problems:
1.The .cab installation is for other processor type
2.or is it for a Smartphone device(PPC and SP are uncompatible(well WM5 has better compatibolity))
3.The .cab can be corrupted.
Now I want to say,that this direct in-device installation has some bad properties:
1. The .cab file is automatically deleted after installation(when your .cab isn't read-only)
2.The system install the software into a default folder only(\Program Files)-you cannot choose your own destination such as Storage,Storage Card etc..
This bugs solve this utility(below). I really recommend that.

hi i am new to this and i have a htc running windows 2003se could some one please tell me how to install the above file on my htc i have tried sending to my docs and pushing set up but no luck please help thanks
if it's a rtf file then it's not a program but a text doc
yust copy the file to your PDA.....
I think someone made a mess here. This file only contains a picture (yes picture) of a list of files apparently extracted from a cab .
If you have the original cab file and want to install it, just copy to PPC then click on it in file explorer.
This may not work if the cab was not designed for your OS.
I'm curious if there is any way to modify the cab installations so that we can be asked which start menu folder we would like the shortcut to be placed in?
I have the Start Menu set up so nicely (thanks to Indagroove) but any time I update an app or install a new app I have to go move the link and then restart my phone so it does not appear in the 6.5.x Start Menu.
Any real developers have any ideas?
Way 1
buy "WinCE Cab Manager"
install it on your PC
open .cab files with it
modify .cab files
save .cab files
Way 2
same as above... but as someone who already has WinCE Cab Manager
Way 3
extract files in .cab
edit the files in the .cab with notepad, ultaredit,...
hope it will be ok
repack .cab
easy...
That's what I do now.
Oh well, thanks for replying though.
