CAB Files are deleted from the device after installation by default.
There is a reg change that can be made to stop this, but that is a bit late for you now.
I meant where have the files from the cab been installed into, its this cab file ive installed

Ive been playing around with the extended rom, cleaned it all out and left just the MMS cab left in there. Ive now added a few more cabs from off here and also home made. Ive also added these cabs in to the config.txt in the extrom as well. The problem is after a hard reset, i can see the files come up on the install screen, but after its finished they havent installed. The MMS cab works as normal, but to get the others to install i have to manually click on them. Any ideas?
Sorry for this stupid question but this is my third day of having a windows mobile 5 xda (the cingular 8125) and I'm having problems installing .cab files. I started with the "DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer 2.0.cab". I moved the cab to the root directory of the device, tapped on it, and it went through the progress bar, told me that it had installed, but then when I went to look for the newly installed program, i couldn't find it anywhere. I also tried this with a few games and other apps. What am I doing wrong that it keeps telling me that it installed fine, but I can't find the programs. Thanks for your help in this.

You may have tried but have you used explorer to check if the files have installed under "Programs"? I've often seen cab files install but the shortcuts not get installed though the programs are there. If you find them then connect to your PC and use explore from Activesync, create shortcust and drop them in the windows\start menu folder.
Yeah, I have tried that... I even tried to a search for the files to no avail. Any other ideas? I really appriciate the help.
You've got me stumped. Personally I always drop the cabs on the SD card and install from there thats the only thing I can see different. Maybe it's a problem with dropping it in the root directory - have you tried dropping it under the programs folder and then installing?
correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the wizard optimizer cab just tweak a few settings/registey values? a cab of this nature will not show up in your programs list because it isn't a program, it just changes stuff. this is normal, the same thing happened when i installed some camera tweaking cabs. so the cab has worked fine, done its job, there is nothing else you need to do.
Ok I know this sounds like a typical newbie question but I haven't come across a problem installing cabs before.
A friend has just got a touch dual on orange and can't install any cab files on the device.
I naturally thought he must be doing something wrong as it's the first windows device he's had.
I showed him how to tap on the cab file. Nothing happens. tried again.double tapped.nothing.
I copied the cab to internal memory and still wouldn't install. this was with a cab for a larger keyboard and a game he downloaded.
I know I thought. I will try some cabs from my memory card that I have installed on other pocket pc phones.
I tried smart explorer. nothing happens. The screen flashed briefly then just shows the normal file manager screen.
Is there something different on the touch dual in the way it handles cab files ?
He does have a zip file manager listed in his program manager that I haven't seen before but trying to use this to do something with the cab doesn't do anything either.
I looked at the wiki and did a search under this forum for cab but couldn't find any info.
google search just offers info on how to install cabs which is, as explained not the problem.
The phone just doesn't seem to recognise the cab file and so won't install any.
Help and advice warmly received.
Thanks.

see what you saying. orange do lock their roms but this still allows signed cabs to be installed with a message do you want to install this program ?
I have app unlocked 4 types of spv/htc phones.
I have tried a cab files that is signed for orange handsets.
I get no message asking if I want to install or that it's from an unrecognised source (unsigned).
Usually after any warning message,if any youget given an opton to install to phone storage or memory card. this htc touch isn't even bringing up any kind of dialogue as to what to do with the cab AT ALL. Not even telling me I can't install because of security permissions which is what I would expect if the problem is to do with app locking etc.
As to sda-application unlocker. Is there a link to a version that will definately work with the touch ? Found some older versions searching the forum.

Hi
I used to have the TF3D(With tha panel installer) cab installed on my Xperia and it worked fine.
I decided to give Manila HD cab a shot sence people were saying it was working faster.
I did a hard reset and installed the manila HD cab by itje, installed the panelinstaller but when I choose to start TF3D it keeps loading...
I've searched the forum but I can't find the answear.
I wonder if I'm supposed to install the cabs in a certain order for it to work...
Anyone who can help???
Thanks
I was told just quit by clicking "panel" key, and re-select this panel. I haven't tried it, so let me know if it works.
I did try that...it didn't work. I did a soft reset as well but no luck...
I installed the Manila HD cab on my storage card by the way. I don't know if that can be the problem because I did the same thing on my TF3D and it worked fine...
Yes,I gotta the same problem and at last it is solved by re-installing the cab in phone rather than card.

I double that....did the same earlier today and it worked
I have downloaded the .cab, installed it through the HD and onto the device (rather than card), but it doesn't show up anywhere I can think of; using Total CE or programs or in the settings windows.
Any ideas how I configure it?
If I try to install the cab again, it says the old version needs to be uninstalled, which I tick yes, but still nothing.
Thanks
Doesn;t work for me, but in my HD I can uninstall it through the delete programs menu in Settings. But i still don't know why it won't work.
Sorry, my bad explanation. I can uninstall it okay, just that when I try to install it to make sure things were okay, it says that the program is currently installed so it must be in there.
I am not going mad then!
Regards
I installed the .cab file for Massimo's coloured top bar and then Darklords bat meter & it works fine for me.
Have you changed anything else on the topbar?

I had to rename the "shellres.192.dll" part of the taskbar files to "shellres.192.dll.0409.mui" to get this to work on my HD. If this doesn't make sense, read through the thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307. Not sure if this is the only solution, but certainly worked for me.
I have cab I made with the renamed file in there, but can't upload it from work. If you can't get it working before then, I will upload when I get home tonight (EST).
Oh, and be sure to have sdkcerts installed. Same thread, at bottom of first post.
Cab upload problem...
I can't get the Cab to upload. Not sure why, as it's only 3MB. Anyway, if you want, I can send it to you if you PM me an email address.
