hey guyz do any of u know how to make a cab from the setup.xml file..actually i made a cab file which has about 190 files..and i misspelled the name of the directory in them..now i cant change all of them so i extracted them with 7zip in a folder ..now i have a file called setup.xml..i opened it and then changed the spelling of the directory..now how can i make it to install..please help guyz
I think you'll want to extract all the files into the same directory then run cabarc.exe to make a cab file with all the files.
first extract the inf file from a cab using MSCEInf.exe (from the zip file i included)
Then u can edit the inf file and use cabwiz to make cab.
it is no use to extract the xml file, at least not to my knowledge.
WOW thanx alot

Hi all
I have a problem with unpacking the ROM file.
I've downloaded the file NL_11300_131_11200.exe and in the tutorial it says right click and unpack. Now I allready have Winrar but all I can choose is Add and Compress options no Unpack option.
Am I missing something?
thanks in advance
If you don't succeed with WinRar, try WinZip or just execute the exe-file & search in your temp folders for the .nbf files. Don't close the program before you copied those files to a save place.
M
Yes i tried to search the file *.nbf and *.nb1 on my computer while the setup is still on but it can't find any files.
I have 2 hardisc and i've allso search on the other one but no results.
i haven't tried winzip yet i'll try it now
Right-mouse click on the exe file and then select extract here. Files will be automatically placed in the same place where the exe file is.
Excuse me for beeing a newbie, but can't seem to fin any way to extract the .dll and .gif files from a cab file. For example I downloaded CrossbowPhonepad.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292014&highlight=media+player+skin
But I'm not quite happy with the way it looks and I would like to start to play and alter with it. But when I extract the .Cab file all i get is strange .012-fil and so on. And of course the .XML file where you se how the .dll and .gif files shall be installed.
How to I extract them (.dll and . gif) from the .Cab file??
I'v tried Winrar, Winace, Total commander.
Please Help
the simplist way
Have you tried cabdump.pl (it can be found on the XDA-Wiki, main wiki page->complete tool list -> RomTools->cabdump.pl)
But I've found the simplest way is to install the cab on your device, and then copy the files you're interested in to your pc.
There is an excellent, easy to use program called MSCEInf that allows you to work with CAB files, including drag and drop extraction of files - with their original names - from CAB installation files. It's available here:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/msceinf.shtml
It's developed by a Frenchman named Benoît Thonnart.
You should also try WinCE Cab Manager.
But generally WinRar works fine. The files in the cab are simply renamed to 8.3 convention with extension showing the file number. Extract the xml and you will see what name belongs to what file. Just extract and rename.
Thanx gues...that really helped
Guys, I'm stupid.
When i download a .cab file it appears as a Rar archive - with 1 .xml file and loads of other files - how do I extract it to a .cab file to install on my pda?
Sorry.
fanger
i suspect that your winrar just associated cab files to itself
the fact that they apear with a winrar icon and open in winrar when you click on them
dont mean they are .rar
just get them to the pda and run them
Thanks.
Have just tried exactly that and - Hey presto -
Thankyou for not taking the mick 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.
