.exe to .cab

hey guys...
ok ive had few problems actually experimenting too many things kicks off the rom OBVIOUSLY...i would like to do something like this....
1.my xda II hard resets it self for obvious reasons (too many experiments)
2.there are too many programs installed on my xda II which i use most of the time, few of them are cab so its easy for me to copy them to storage card and install but many others are .exe so everytime a hard reset i have to connect the xda II to the cradle and run the software from the computer....
what i would like to do is just convert or extract .cab from .exe so that everytime i dont have to go through the same thing....this means i can also copy all my softwares as backup on my xda II storage
P.S : there are only few .exe softwares that allow me to extract .cab from it by right clicking and going to winzip option or winrar .....most of them are to be run all over again.
please help
thanks alot in advance

if it's exe which you run from the pc and it using activesync to install the program in most cases all you need to do is to chage the extention from exe to zip and copy out the cab from inside the zip file
otherwise you need an cab maker program search should give you a bunch

An alternative method (slightly long winded but reliable)...
Install the product on the device then install it again, when the "Reinstall Y/N?" dialog appears on the device perform a soft reset. If installing to Storage or Storage Card, the CAB will be in the root of that device, if installing to Main Memory you will find it in \windows\appmgr\install

No men
get it
see in c:\archive of program\microsoft activesync
when you install a program for defect install this place.
this not happens is for this program get menu opcional installing c:\archive of program\NaMe Program
fine you only copy files .cab in you storage
the problem is when you intall the cab file this automaticaly is delete..****...
for this not happen install this before install any .cab NoDeleteCab.cab
thiss run in my Imate jam ...
enjoy...

ok i tried this.....but it did'nt quite work out.....i double clicked a file it opened up active sync asking for reinstall yes or no....i did a soft reset on the pda and took it out from the cradle and clicked no and cancel on that reinstall window.... where did i go wrong ?
is it like that i have to click yes and when it starts installing on the pda then soft reset the device ?

Yes, you have to wait for the CAB file to be copied over to teh device and then it says "Reinstall Y/N?" on the device, then you do the soft reset.
If you are going to use CAB files I would strongly recommend you grab a copy of CABInst as well, it is excellent (and free).

MMm
This work in my Imate Jam
i don't know
this work in your device
but this cool
the Imate Jam autodelete .cab files when finish the install this
enjoy....

SOLUTION: Touch Flo appliation not signed with a trusted certificate

This was user error. But since I saw other people have had the same problem I decided to admit it and maybe this post will help them out.
Problem: Anytime I changed the mapping of the application buttons in Touch Flo I'd then get an error when I tried to use the remapped button. The error stated:
"The file XXXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
Where XXXX is whatever I had set the button to be.
The problem turns out to be that in Cube Config I had used the drop down box "Shortcut Path" and just picked the application I wanted. This, for me at least, does NOT work. I had to use the "Browse..." choice and then navigate to the actual executable file.
For example:
I COULD NOT choose "Audio Manager" from the "Shortcut Path" drop down box.
However I COULD choose "Browse..." Then navigate to:
"\Storage Card\Program Files\HTC Audio Manager"
And finally select: "AudioManager.exe"
It is NOT significant that the example I'm posting was on the Storage Card. I had the same problem with programs installed in internal memory.
Hopefully this will help others out.

I found the solution Special THANKS to JZ SmartMort
Following simple steps:
1) Download following file: http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
It allows Registry to be edited from PC.
Run it with working Activesync connection
2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html
Also run with working Activesync connection
3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")
It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
FYI, here are some other useful software packages that relax the security.

PROBLEM !

hi
I just buy my shift
it works fine but really i want to unlock WM to download cab files
i read lots of threads here but unfortunately I couldn't apply it
simply because the trick couldn't work for me which is as example
:::
"insert" -> "picture". This allows you to browse for pictures and it's the closet thing we have to a file manager at the moment. Navigate to the Windows directory, then the Start Menu (in the Windows directory) and highlight the Programs folder if it isn't already. Hit Control-C on the keyboard to copy it. Navigate back up to Windows/Settings and press Control-V to paste
:::
the problem here :
that my shift doesn't accept the copy and paste i hear sound which indicate that the action is not allowed
so what is the problem ?
why i cant copy and paste ?
pleeeeze really i need to unlock my shift?

If you need (???) it unlocked and you can't do that, try and flash a cooked ROM: you can find a couple of them in this forum. Just remember to HardSPL your device before doing anything (search is your friend... )

[Q] WinCE 4.2 gps device, access to windows files? (SOLVED)

Have Tevion gps device, wince 4.2, no usb port, just sd card. It have Igo8 software that loads automatically on boot. I managed to unlock device with some program and gain access to all win folders. Then, accidentally, I moved some important file from Flash Disk on internal memory and now device just boot to splash screen and nothing more. That file called Igolaunch.exe and I have it, just don't have access anymore to windows files to copy it on right place. Without that file device don't know what to do, and do nothing, just boot to splash image. The windows files, registry, are intact, just need to copy back Igolaunch.exe to it's original location. So, is there any way to gain access to win files again, like force load some explorer from sd card on boot, or something like that, just to copy back the file? Any other solution, some reset, maybe? Thanks.

Try this: http://www.austech.info/gps/84958-gps-ce-6-0-rescue-disk.html
Note: You must register with Austech to see the download link.

YESSS! Success!
Thank you very much! This is just that I needed! Followed instructions and boot in explorer (desktop), copy-back the igolaunch.exe to it's original location and everything working again! Thanks again!

Ive a Clarion NICE 7 GPS system with WinCE NET 4.2 core. Its running on their software. It have no menu,no taskbar,nothin ,but It have a USB port and no SD card slot. I need help with this , help me. I need help to get access to win files and folders. And is there any way to flash/crack/hack/root this device to Win CE 6 or something?:crying:

Did you try that what @jwoegerbauer said? With his software i was able to access files on device. Because you don't have sd card, try to connect device to pc and put files on internal storage.
For wince 6.0, think not.

This is how my menu displays and i want to change it into CE6 ! but the software (in link) is not working
need help :crying::crying:

First you wrote that you need help to get access to win files and folders, that software enable you to do that.
If you want to change appearance and gps software that device is using, you need to unlock device. There is a lot of tutorials how to do that, just google it. For example, you can try this:
