Anyone who knows how to extract the .nbh file from an .exe?
Thanks!
Open the file with winrar. IF it doesnt open then its an installshield installer.
If it is an installshield installed, it's still possible - run it (but don't do anything) and it will create a temporary folder in your temp folder with all the extracted files in it.
Just copy them to another folder before you quit the installer as it will delete them when you do.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
if its an install shield installer how could i get a hand on its nbh file?
seems like most of the ROMs are .exe files and can't be opened with Winrar!!

Right-click on the exe and select "extract files"
Unzip with winrar indeed. You can also install the executable until where you have to make setup choices, like cancel and continue. Then look in your temp folder for the newly added folder with the nbh file in it. It depends on your OS where these file reside. Search for *.nbh files on (probably) your c drive will locate the folder as well.

when you have winrar is shows cab files as archives
no it does not have anything say .cab i only see setup.xml that is it.when I click on that to install with my wing it open that folder all I see is words and symbols.
Lol, that's what is usually inside a cab. An xml and a few other files. Just run that "rar" on your device and you'll be fine and if you want, you can just rename the file to xxxxxx.cab instead of rar.
my device does not have Winrar to extract the files.I only can extract with my desktop.after extract it,it replace as a folder.I have tried rename that folder as xxxxx.cab and copy it to my storage card via Activesync.when I open that file to run,it does not install as like other file such as google map from google site.am I dumb or what
If the IFonz cab is compressed as a rar file, use winrar on your computer to open the rar file. You can download winrar for free - just google it. Once you have opened the rar file with winrar you will see what looks like another rar file inside. This is the cab. Do not open this. Simply drag and drop this to your desktop *or wherever you want on your computer* and then place that on your device. then use your device and navigate to where you placed the cab and simply click on it to install.
HotRod you are the genesis.I have been trying to figure it out for days.you make it so clear even a dummy like me can learn Thank Bro.

hello guys, i dont own an hd2 yet but ill buy one this month but i have a question i want to add some cabs file on my device when i get. My question is i have download some cabs BUT when i open the winrar i dont get any cab file, all i get is some files that has bunch of numbers and one of them says "_setup.xml" so what should i do? should i directly put the winrar file on my hd2? since i dont get any cab file inside the winrar?? and if there's a cab file inside the winrar and i press the button "extract here" should i just upload the cab file only to my hd2 right??
Hope you guys can help me.
Thank you.
Hi.
A CAB file is a compressed installer file for mobile phones.
If you open it with winrar, you will see all the files it contains.
Just copy the original .cab file to your phone.
Click on the .cab file, and it will run the installer, and install the program on your phone.
You can choose to install to the main memory or the sd card.
Yeah - as above. What you're calling a "winrar" file is the cab file.
Extract a cab
Ok, I know this isn't the original question but...
is it possible to extract a .cab file - i mean to extract all the different files that make up the program , all the .exe .dll .ico etc etc. Wanting to do this to help me reverse-engineer a couple of omnia 2 cabs that don't work.

Tried that, all I get are 10 files. One of them is _setup.xml, the others are numbered files.
I've attached a screen capture of the files so you can see what they are.

Yes that's what you would expect as they are the cab install files.
If they don't mean anything are you sure you know what you're doing?
That's what I'm trying to find out. I assume that the WM program works in a similar way to windows program in that its a collection of files (exe, ico, dll, cfg so on so forth) that get installed in the appropriate places on the device. If so, how do you 'unpack' these files from the setup files
use a cab manager program. I don't so I can't recommend, but wincecab manager sound familiar. u can use them to create cabs of your tweaks, install files and such.
it seems that you have never used windows mobile (just copy the winrar file into the device and run it from the device)

I'm not trying to install a cab file (which the first post was about) I'm trying to decompile the omnia 2 video editor to get it to run on the HD2 but instead of starting a new thread, I asked on this one because it seemed (partially) relevant.
BTW, I've got the cab 'extracted' so thanks - no for the difficult part...

It depends what files you are unzipping. If they are cab files inside the zip file, then you put the cab file on your phone and then using file explorer, click on the cab file. If the files are .exe's then you put them on your phone and again, using file explorer, click on them. If they are manila files, you should disable touch flo in start/settings/today/items, use file explorer (or better still Total Commander), put the file in the Windows folder and then re-start touch flo....
it are cab files , i put them on my memorycard , with explorer search them but can not installed it
Grtz
Its possible that what you are doing is actually unzipping the cab files, even though they show up on your pc as zip archives, they are not meant to be unzipped, it would help if you gave us an example of what you are trying to install. but try just taking the whole file without unzipping and then clicking on it from file explorer
xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/advanced-home-tab-2-0/[/url] this i want to put on my phone, but i see there is no application by the file.
I unzip those file, extract it , put hit on my phone but can not installed it.

That file is not a zip file but a cab file. You should not unzip it. Just copy it to your phone and click on it with file explorer.
Everytime i click on it winzip open the file
You have to see the tread about the link a paste, you will see its a zip file

It's a CAB file!
you are not supposed to do anything to those files on your pc, just copy them to your phone, and open them in the file explorer on your phone. like I said before, your pc thinks they are zip files, so winzip will open them when you click on them on your pc, but your phone should know they are .cab files.
Oke , thnx , now i get it

Post the file or link me to where you got it please. I want to make sure I give you good info so it works.
sounds like a cracked app, where you get the prog folder and a reg file to crack it.

I thought so as well till he\she said they got it on xda, that made me think maybe a kitchen ext package
The cab files can be opened with winzip on your PC. The contents of a cab file is usually an xml file, icon file and other files for installation. Are you sure you are not opening a cab file in winzip?

ahh yea.that makes sense.
ok for example. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611007
CUSTOM-djet-CameraSettingsPatch , it is a rar file costum patch. when i down load it has a folder and a files where do i place the folder and where do i place the files on my THC HD2
Thats an OEM package for use in kitchens when cooking ROMS. You cant install it to a running system. (Well, not in that form anyway)

From the look of the reg it enables one of the hidden functions in the camera. I thought most cooks enabled all the functions when they cooked up the rom but could be wrong. I know I do

Gotcha, thanks man! Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything I don't already have
icons
can u help me with one more thing. i downloaded some icons. it does not have any other files but icons and album file. when i place the file into the windows directory. gives me an message that it can not be overitten due to not enough space and file is being used. how do i change go around it.
thks jelendel. for making file in to cab.
similar problems/questions
most cab files/apps i download and install are very straight forward and I save to storage card and there are right there on my "start" screen. others I download and I cant find them? I look through the file explorer but either cant find them or dont know what to do if I do find the file.
example, egg timer 1.0 -I can find it listed on "remove programs" page page so I know I got it. but how do I get it to a more 'usable' location.
another example. I want to get the Bluetooth toggle (BTtoggle) from pocketnow site. I downloaded the app, then it says I need to edit my registry (I understand the dangers of this) at
"HKLM\software\HTC\Manilla" and change the value of HomeLSKPath to the path to your BTtoggle.exe .....etc.....
First time editing registry, so sounds like I need to get a registry editor. I looked for a free one. CeRegEdit version 5.2.exe file. looks like it downloaded ok but I cant find on device??
LASTLY, I use CoOkies home editor and I really like it, but does that mean I cant do other changes/app installs to any HTC sense items/lock screen/home screen/etc? thanks for reading this far....steve
Or if you know of easier to get bluetooth toggle or any kind of timer applications so I dont burn food at the fire station, feel free to reccomend...Thanks

Aloha, and just because you're in civil service like that, I'll give you a hand with this one here...but it's usually best to open a new thread with a bunch of questions like that. You can just edit your post above to just say "moved to new thread", and then copy all that you wrote into a new thread you start...you'll probably get more views/responses that way too
These cabs will give you a toggle for bluetooth, wifi, and a reset button. Once you run the cab, you can find them in your start menu, but they're most useful when you assign them to one of the quicklink spots (on your home tab), just like you would any other program.
P.S. you'll find a lot more useful stuff for your new phone right here in these forums, and 99% of it is free, and known to work on the HD2 (unless stated otherwise). Start HERE and HERE
