You can use My Mobiler.
With this program, you can display your PPC screen on your PC, and simply drag and drop CAB-files to your PPC. Don't forget to delete CAB-files after install, cause they are copied to \My Documents folder.
Why aren't you using the Windows Mobile Device Center from Microsoft? It's the Vista replacement for ActiveSync and supports all of it's old features and more.
Just drag n drop the CAB's to your device and install as normal...
Thanks for replying but it will be the same..i have to go delete once again the installed cab files n more over the cab files will be installed to the default installation directory even though there r programs to change the destination to storage card..the procedure is hecktic n tiresome
Depends on your target device really. In WM6 on my Kaiser, the device asks where I want the program to be installed to. And the file not auto-deleting afterwards is just a registry setting.

Then try to find the programs that have exe files and run them from your computer. This will be a lot easier to accomplish.
I understand what you mean... i used to install CAB files directly from my PC, i just connect my phone to my pc and i double click cab files in my pc and it install to my phone BUT unfortunately I formatted my PC and I cant find the CAB installer again.. i think i found it in HERMES forum, until now im searching but without luck!
Is there any program that creates a setup.exe file from a .cab file that works on vista?
When i had my pc with Windows XP i used PocketSetupCreator but unfortunaly it doesnt works on Vista!
wow another thread on this...but u can just copy the files on your memory either phone or card and then install and there are ways to make it so that the cab file will delete itself after u install it...whats wrong with that

cabviaactivesync does the trick

As mentioned before, you can set .cab files to auto-delete after install, with that set, use MyMobiler to drag and drop the file, and your done.

Pefect, I didn't realise this had been fixed. I had problems getting it to work on Vista the last few times I tried it. This is a great time saver for when I just need to install something quickly .

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

well if it's a nativ pda exe then it cant be don and i guess some exe activesync install files may not work that way
but they will always leave a cab file in one place or another when one install it to the pda or try to
in which case i guess one could search for it

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...

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....

excellent (Y)
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?

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
hi im new to WM5 i have download an application on to my pc but i dont know how to install it on to my TYTN. my pc doesn't recognise the file type. i have included the file with this post. its just a small dictator app. thanks.

Is that any where on the ppc, can it be on the storage card.

yes it can be run from anywere.
As the title says... Oh, and .exe files too, I can't seem to run them when my HD's plugged in... :/ Don't know what to do, to install games at all...
put them in your phone folder (any foldler) then explore this folder on your phone with file explorer an click on the cab to install.
Is File Explorer a 3rd party app? Haven't seen it on my device before...
EDIT:
Oh! Found it! Hehe ^^' It's just a different language on mine, and didn't really notice it... Thanks!
The easiest way to do that is a little application (91 KB.) called "WinCE cab installer.exe", that installs a cab from the desktop to any device connected via active sync or WMDC.

File explorer should be standard on any wm device, its the yellow envoloppe with the magnifyingglass, you might have to add it to your programs tab
Just use that and navigate to the folder you have copy the .cab to. Then all you need to do is tab on the .cab and it should install itself, just like a .exe or .com file.
To install .exe all you need to do is click on it(from your pc) and then turn on active sync while connected to your pc.

This actually makes a lot of sense as it saves the extra effort of copying to- and navigating on the phone. I googled a bit for it but non of the downloadlinks are working (4 me). Can you show us where you got it (or upload it somewhere)?
Hi all
Had my HTC HD2 for a couple a weeks now and have had a few teething problems with setting up my texting and emailing...anyway all is sorted now and im looking to customise my phone. However, i am a COMPLETE NOVICE when it comes to phones/computers.
Can anyone give me an idiots step by step guide to installing apps on my phone please?
Many Thanks
Ben
Well, do you need any help with particular application?
Because, in short example, you just need to download .exe or .cab, copy it to microsd, and run it with file explorer.
I suggest you to try BsB Tweaks, just write it into search option and try first result, there are few good tweaks to begin with...
Ben- programs are installed in 2 ways as Bence suggested- via CAB files and via EXE files.
The difference is that EXE files almost always have to be run on a PC while the phone is connected via Activesync (doesn't need a full partnership, just connected) but CAB files are executed on the phone itself.
Decide which programs you actually want, and search for them either in Marketplace (included on the phone and which does all the work for you, but is severely limited in choice) or via webshops like Handango or Pocketgear. Most are available as trial versions which you download and install yourself. The majority of programs from these shops are EXE files so are installed via the PC.
Many of the program developers have their own download links and most have a CAB file option as well. Download the CAB file to your phone using the phones own browser, or via the PC, then use Explorer to copy it to the phone. Then open File Explorer on the phone, locate the file and just tap it to install.
