INSTALING .cab FILES!!!! HOW YOU DO IT...IM NEW TO THIS LOL

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.

cab files can be installed from any location
if they will not install maybe their are currupt
or for another cpu type then arm or xcale

i used the cab files from this forum. does anyone have the .cab files for XDA2 on o2 uk payg? would be a great help

here is where i got them. which 1 i need? and what i got to do wiv it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13498

done it lol, when i was dl the .cab file it displays on my PC as a winrar file so i was automatically extracting the files (all six of them lol), realy all i had to do was put the Downloaded file straight onto my XDA lol. dummm asss

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.

extraxting a cab file from an exe file

in paticular i want the cab file for MorphGear. how do i do this? I have tried using cabinst but that doesnt seem to do anything

Some ".exe" are extractable with a soft such as "Winrar" :wink:

if that doesn't work then try the following.
1. Remove app from you computer and device
2. Disconnect device from comp
3. Run exe for app
4. When you see the message "this app will be installed on next sync" go to start---search
5. look for *.cab that was created or modified today and is less than 1MB (change file size to whatever value you think is appropriate)

Problem is..
I cant get activesync to work, hence needing the cab file to install morphgear :-(
So I dont think that will work
Any other ideas?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can you install Activesync tho, dont have to sync just get it to install. If you can than run the morphgear.exe and after it says it will install on the next sync, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\ and you will see a Marat folder, the .cab is in there. It will almost always make a new folder and put the .cab of the program you are install into the Activesync folder, if it is not there than it created its own folder under Program Files and the .cab should be in there.
Just because im bored I downloaded this MorphGear.exe
http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/155967-7256/MaratSetupPPC2003.exe
And have attached the .cab that was put into my ActiveSync folder for you.

wow thanks that was very nice of you!
i checked that folder and there was about 10 different morphgear files that id been messing about with! And they worked! Well chuffed i am

Is anyone playing gameboy games on it? On the website listed in the first post the module (MaratSetupPPC2003.exe) leads to an invalid link. But i found it on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=904167&postcount=5 i installed it but it only wants to see snes roms

qtek s200 rom install problem

not a setup file like JAmin. it is an EXE file and when i click on it a Dos pop up

If you download the ROM from this folder ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Prophet/Shipped_Complete_Updates/ , the file is corrupted.
The one in the Upload/Prophet folder is not. The link is: ftp://xda:[email protected]_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe .

NO BODY HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, IT IS INTERESTIN BUT I CANT INSTALL THE ROM TO THE S200, THE EXE FILE DONT WORK LIKE JAMIN'S ROM ????

xda mini cab file problem

hi all,
i m new to this community so i need this help.
1:i installed a few cab files for my o2 xda mini II and some work but a few says that this is not a valid win CE cab file. i don't know why this problem occurs only for some and not for others
2:how can i change the file association of files? i mean if i want to open a pdf file from adobe and not clearvue pdf,then how it should b done?
3: which type of flash files can i play.i tried *.swf and they work but can i use the flash files that work on my pc too?

come on guys,
so many members and not a single reply??

hi adithya,
1. some of the cab files may be for WM5. so they wont install on WM2003 (XDA II Mini has Windows Mobile 2003 SE)
2. Regarding changing the file association, i remember seeing an application for that in the site. just search for it.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=251006&highlight=file+association

3. you can use almost any swf file

help with leo's flight simulator

i saw this game for windows mobile and have been wanting to play it, but the exe programe just wont evan load on my rhodium. is there anyway to get it to work or not?
oh heres the link to the game
when i go to load it i get 'this is not a valid pocket pc app'
Thanks

It's a Win32 installer. Just install it to any desktop, plug your device in and let ActiveSync/WMDC connect, and open the program called Leo's Flight Simulator. It'll install the cab file, and you'll be good to go.
Alternatively, you can grab the .cab file from C:\Program Files\Leo's Flight Simulator\DIAMOND and drop it on your SD card, and open it with file explorer mobile.

i couldnt get the cab file. can anyone get it for me please??
thanks
