.rar files are archived files (compressed files)
you can unpack them with winrar, on the pc, or with winrar for ppc (for unpacking with the device itself)
the best way to unpack these .rar files is on your pc, and then copy the .cab file to your ppc, to start installing the game.
or use the instalation program included in the .rar file if it is an .exe file
a program will be installed to your pc, and the program will install and copy everything to your ppc.
if the game has no installation, only an .exe file and some data files, copy al the files to a new map on your ppc and click on the .exe (with an file explorer)
grtz.
download it on your phone, then connect your phone to a pc transfer the file to the pc and install it that way?

I've never felt so stupid. I've got Unrar on my computer and it seems to be unacking things, but it does it in a heartbeat and then I don't know where it's sending the unpacked files; i can't find them anywhere. where the heck do I look. The program doesn't seem to have a screen or any functions; it's doing something in the background AND making me feel like an idiot. Anyone got a "Well duh!" to help me blush?
right click the rar file and click extract here.
It will extract it to the same location you have the rar file.

Hey Guys,
I have been customising my extended rom so when I hard reset I get all the applications I want (Resco file explorer etc). I have been doing this with .cab files fine.
The problem is that I have files which are .exe setup files (e.g Flash player 6). These have to be installed on the PC, and the cab is copied to the XDA and run. I would like to just have e.g a flash CAB file to put on the extended ROM.
is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom?
I know some .exe setup files can be extracted using winrar which then give you the cab file, flash player isnt one of them though.
Regards,
Jez.

Use Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to look for the path where your Desktop Exes are extracted to PocketPC Cabs:
Look for this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"InstalledDir"="k:\system\hardware\pda\imate\ASync"
Now, open your Windows Explorer and go to the path. You will find your cabs in corresponding folders (e.g, folder MacromediaFlash shall contain Flash6.arm.cab and etc...)
If you need to do more complex restoration, use Restorator tool. It restores your directory and file structure, registry settings, installs cabs, writes boot screens and does everything nice...
Oh my god, you are both bloody geniouses!!
This is wicked, cheers guys!

Any other ways to xtracting & repacking to cab?
Renaming the file format (exe to any formats) & exe xtractor software doesn't work.
I can compress any data to .cab, but how to xtract perfectly exe files?
Convert EXE to Cab online without having to download any software
If you have an EXE file that you would normaly run on your PC to install a sofware... it looks like this online converter work to have it converted into a cab file for your cell phone!!!
try it!
1- first you need to compress your EXE file into a ZIP folder... that will create a ZIP file on your desktop.
2- then you go to http://media-convert.com/convert/
3- browse on the first field to determine witch file on your pc you want to convert .. select the ZIP file you just created...
4- on the second part of the page you will be ask what format you want to convert your ZIP file to .. on the scrolldown menu select . CAB... and hit the convert button .. the online service will do the rest ..
Basicaly will upload your file onto their server , process it and render it to you on a file download link ...
There you go you have now a CAB version of your EXE file to upload on your phone with ActiveSync...
My problem
how to say... the site is cool ,and i get my file converted. However, the nature of that file hasn't been changed into a cab. it is still an exe. I dunno if i have done something wrong when converting.
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.

Glad I could help.
windows see cab file as zip or rar (whatever u have anyway).......u just have to copy that "zip" file (which is a cab actually) to your card on the pda and from the pda (file manager etc etc) click it to install. DO NOT extraxt the "zip" file just copy it ....
Thanks Coolis, I got it installed.now I know some Winrar files, I have to extract in order to see the cab. files.some are just cab. files which is ready to install.what I did was,I extract every files even cab. files.that was my problem.I got it figured out.thanks guys.I have another queston.I have to post it under new thread.
i have similar problem,when i open .rar with winrar, i cant find any cab or rar file. pls help me...the first first file is meta-inf.
is there any program to convert .exe to .cab ?
i don't want to use pc for installing files like that .........
what i do,.... use the exe in your pc without the pda,... activesync will try to install the app in the ppc,... dont't touch it....
Go thru my pc to the folder where activesync is installed,... there you will see one folder named usually like the app you wanna install,... open it and you will see the cab ,... done....
Excuse my english ,.... thanks
I've never tried it myself, but presumably the CAB file is just wrapped up in the installer so you can probably open the EXE using something like WinRAR and just extract the CAB file from it yourself.
There is no general solution for this.
In most cases the CAB files are inside an installer EXE. The possibility and effort to "extract" the cab varies depending from the EXE (there are many different packers and installers on the market).
Some of them can be opened with packers like WinRAR or 7zip, others can't.
There is one thing they all have in common: the CAB has to be (temporary) installed onto your harddisk. This might be under "Programm Files\Software Vendor\", ActiveSync directory or an temp directory, for example "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\<subdir?>" in Windows XP. In some cases the CAB will be deletet when the setup programm ends.
So, unfortunately, there is no generic method to extract the CAB.
open the exe in winrar or a similar archiving program and look for the cab (probably a jumbled up name, though still has the .cab file extension)
just extract the EXE using winrar and copy the CAB file in there to your mobile device.
Hello!
Im new one here !
Yesterday i bought HTC Touch2 T3333..
I transfer the file to my device.. it is in .rar format.
When I try to open it - nothing happens.
At the first everything was ok, but now it just doesn't open.
Try to unrar it on your PC and send to your phone only cab files.
But if I unrar it, there isnt any .cab file anymore.
Save on your PC as zip-file. Unzip and see if this works.....
Otherwise download from the source again.....
And one more thing, Winrar shows cabs also as archives (like zip and rar). So make sure that this IS a cab - by turning on display of file extensions fro Folder->Options in Explorer.
There is windows mobile zip in it. If it's a ZIP File, it should expands and you'll find the cab.
If you don't. The only possible solution is that the download must have corrupted along the way and you have to redownload it or the uploader did not put the cab in it ^^
