How to extract a cab file?

Hi,
This might sound stupid but I have searched all over for a program that lets me extract/read .cab files for PPC and change some settings to create a new one. Can anyone help me with the programs/links for such programs that I can use to extract and remake .cab files?
Thanks!

WINCE Cab Manger, but it is not cheap!!!

Winzip doesn't extract the cab files for ppc.

ZipGenius does CAB as well as RAR, 7-zip, and more, and its Free. I've pretty much dumped Winzip over ZipGenius.

I just reread your question... ZipGenius will extract but I don't believe it will make or update PPC CABs. (I've never tried that, just used it to pull cabs apart to see whats in them)

How to use and install things on your HTC Diamond.

Hi.
Can anyone of u plz tell me how to use open gl and how to install thongs like Diamond cubes themes and more. Plz teach me how to do this cuz i cant get this things to work. I wana use me htc for something funny not just use it like a phone.
plz help me if u can.

I am not an experienced person, but I try to answer you.
you need a file called CAB. Download the CAB file for a particular program.
Never unzip it. The CAB file itself acts as a exe file.
1) Sync your diamond to the PC with active sync.
2) copy the cab file to your diamond
3) double click on the cab file.
4) Install either on your ROM or internal memory
Good luck!

Google is your friend.

Thx guys for great help

I have been all over this site, ppcgeeks and sprintusers and maybe I am on brain overload, but I do not understand how to install manila files. I have done programs and cabs. I have all sorts of tweaks and changes on my diamond. I am trying to change just my icons. i have downloaded many of the files that people create, but cannot figure out where to get them to install. any help anyone could pass on will be sooo appreciated. I have Diamond TF3D Config, I have Diamond Tweaks and I have PHM RegEdit...what am i missing?

I have the same question as Kndracing. Dont know what to do with the manila files.

Copy them to your \Windows folder with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.

so why use total commander and not just drag the manila into window\, pls. fill me out with more details. Thank you.

Because ActiveSync/File Explorer can't copy files with System attribute and Total Commander can. Apart from that, it is a way better file manager than the system one. And unlike the desktop version, it is free.

Extract & edit .cab setup files

I have a question that is how can I extract or edit .cab files to add sth to it or use some of its file on my new programs ??
I found some software such as magiccab but is not free & I couldn't even test it
please help me
tnx

try to use CECabmgr, its also paid but the tryal version lets you play with it for 30 days..

Look up Wince Cab Analyzer (I think that's the name). It's free, and you can look at cab contents and dump them. Also, the cab tool in sk tools lets you unpack cab files.

thanks
I'm using CECabmgr but I couldn't found 2nd one

You can use SKtools too.
