Can it even run on a htc magic. Its in the form of a .cab does that mean I need in install it via a pc?
Cheers

It's a windows mobile package ... you can't install a .cab file on Android. Android uses .apk files.
oh silly me
thanks

Hi All,
With Pocket PC cabs, i can use Win CE CAB Manager to export cab files to a .inf and export the contents of the cab.
Does anyone know how to do this with a smartphone cab file ?
Cheers!
Use cabinst

cool, thanks for that
i downloaded it, doesn't seem to operate correctly on my SP3.
seems like it's only a PPC version ?
do you have linkage for a SP client ?
the one i downloaded was v1.04.
Cheers !
Hi peeps,
Is there an app or a trick where I can run an .exe file on my UK Vario without having to hook up to my pc?
TIA
What exe? How are you getting the file on to your phone?

When I'm out and fancy downloading something I generally download direct to my device and as a rule everything a in exe format so need a PC to run the app, game etc.
Not a particular exe just in general
Thanks
I think he meant that how can he extract the stuff he wants from a SETUP.EXE of a PPC software.
If it is an EXE, you can run (still need a PC) it on a PC, check the temp folder and get the CAB file. Copy and run this on your PPC.
Many thanks for the info, not quite what I mean.
For example I'm at work and browsing some ppc freeware I find this file pocketpictureinstall.exe and download it direct to my device.
Thats it I dont have my home pc to hand just my Vario and unless I run ActiveSync which I can't at work there is no way it will run on my device.
Is there any software out there that would allow me to provide the .cab files local on the device or just run the app?
Thanks again.
No not really. There are possible apps you could compile for the PPC to assist, but you'd have to be a coder. If not, then the easy answer is typically no - but many websites offer the choice to download the installer in cab format.. Look around.

hi guys..
seems like a n00b question..i know
but i downloaded some cool apps from handango which are made for Xperia..but i was unable to install them.
do i need to use Activesync for such files?...and if yes..i also tried to install activesync 4.5 but it says 'not for Vista'
any tips?
exe files can be
1. pda exe's which is not install files but the program itself
which you yourself have to copy to where ever you want it
and make a shortcut in programs yourself
2. windows exe's which use activesync on xp and Windows Mobile Device Center on vista
to copy the cabs to the pda and auto install them
in many cases those exe files are self-extracting zip files and one can just rename them zip and copy out the cab files one needs typically the arm one
thanks..i installed Windows Mobile Device center on my vista..connected X1 via USB and done!
Hi, I got an Adobe Flash Player Exe file, How can I convert it to a cab installation file for my Topaz?
Thanks.
I don't know about your file specifically, but in general .exe files for WM can be run from a synced PC or sometimes from within the device itself; no need to convert.
Steps Please!!!

Use this program. Works great for any .exe, .reg, etc.
If its an exe for your mobile platform, it can be installed directly from your device, just sync your phone with active sync or (WMDC) and copy the program to your device, or if it is a Windows ap, then you install it to your desktop which will install to your device after you sync with active sync or (WMDC)
You may be able to find a cab for it here.
I have HTC HD2 with Android 2.3.4 cyanmenMod, Typhoon v3.2. Problem is i can't run a cab file, I can't change themes, I can't install games, & i don't know which ROM exactly is best for this phone. When i open a .cab file it does'nt recognizes & another pop up window appears where i can different menu tabs & there is'nt any error running the file.
Please HELP
Hi welcome to xda. You can't run a cab file on an Android rom, you can only run cab files on Windowsmobile. In order to install application on your android build you have to be registered via googlemail.. for Androidmarket or you can download .apk (eg. gun bros.apk) files, copy them to your phone and install.
