T-Mobile MDA compact with PocketPC platform can't run .exe

This is my first post and I have looked around but it seems no one has the same problem with me or I could miss something.
I just got a MDA compact from T-Mobile UK. I wanted to install some applications but I can only use .CAB files. When I tried to execute a .exe file it says "'file_name' is not a valid Pocket PC application". After that I found out my MDA using Pocket PC platform.
Question is how I can use those .exe files. Would upgrading ROM help?

If they are the correct .exe programs for Pocket PC 2003 SE then I believe they can be installed via ActiveSync.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

By far the most .exe files you can download from the Internet for a PocketPC are actually installers that need to be run on your desktop PC, not on the PocketPC itself. Make sure your PocketPC is connected to your PC and ActiveSync is running, then try starting these .exe on your PC.
If your desktop machine is a Mac or any other non-Windows PC, you are out of luck basically - then you need to ask someone with a Windows PC to run these .exe for you, grab the extracted .cab from some temporary directory, and give those to you.

Just for the sake of completeness, you cannot install Smartphone software on a Pocket PC, despite the similarly-named OS :wink:

misunderstanding
so far that I know, exe can only be executed on the desktop pc. while cab files u can executed it in ur pocket pc.

Omg...I'm so dumb...
Thanks a bunch guys

Internet Sharing CAB File for WM2003

Hello!
I am looking for the cab file (if there exist any extracted one) that is found in most of the WM5 and WM6 OS. It is the Internet Sharing program that lets you connect your PC using USB to the internet. I have searched everywhere but could not find it. I did find the Vista drivers though but I cannot use the internet sharing without first activating it on the mobile phone. This is for a HP 6315 that has WM2003.

I don't have a CAB file but I extracted this from an HTC Universal ROM. Just copy and paste this file in the Windows folder, then create a shortcut icon in Windows>Start Menu>Programs.

I will try it today after work and let you know if it works in WM2003. Thanks!

My PDA (iPAQ 1940, wm2003) told me it's not a pocket pc valid application
And i think it's not a w32 application...
I'm searching for a way to simplify the connection between my PPC and my UBUNTU laptop...
And wm2003 doesn't have a native program to do that
Thanks

internet sharing will only work with WM5 not WM2003, which is the reason your ppc says that it is not a invalid ppc application

Internet connection sharing is a new feature of wm5 networking. It wont work on devices with previous os.
The error that it gave you is because of the fact that it's compiled for a target CPU that is different from yours.

I would very much like to get a utility that can work in windows mobile 2003, with similar features of internet sharing in wm5 or wm6, so that I can share the internet connection of my ppc in my laptop while I can still receive phone calls and text messages. Can anyone develop such a tool?

Ok, i understand...
I have to try out other roads to share my internet connection from ubuntu to my pda
Tnx to all!

I will try the programe for my FS LOOX T830. Thanks

I don't have any.I will try to apply that.

FTP connection with home computer

Hello to all
I would like to connect my mega to my home comp and to able to accses my hdd drives via wirelles
Is there any program for this that is like total commander or something similar

Cant you do that with wifi? Yes yo do have to share your computer for access though.

i use total commander, it has plugin for ftp download here... but you need run on pc a ftp server like Filezilla Server

Resco File Explorer has the best FTP explorer for it ;-)

what is the way to connect phone to pc with resco?
