You don't install rar files. You unzip them to your desktop and then run them.

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.

It depends what files you are unzipping. If they are cab files inside the zip file, then you put the cab file on your phone and then using file explorer, click on the cab file. If the files are .exe's then you put them on your phone and again, using file explorer, click on them. If they are manila files, you should disable touch flo in start/settings/today/items, use file explorer (or better still Total Commander), put the file in the Windows folder and then re-start touch flo....

it are cab files , i put them on my memorycard , with explorer search them but can not installed it

Its possible that what you are doing is actually unzipping the cab files, even though they show up on your pc as zip archives, they are not meant to be unzipped, it would help if you gave us an example of what you are trying to install. but try just taking the whole file without unzipping and then clicking on it from file explorer

That file is not a zip file but a cab file. You should not unzip it. Just copy it to your phone and click on it with file explorer.

Everytime i click on it winzip open the file
You have to see the tread about the link a paste, you will see its a zip file

It's a CAB file!

you are not supposed to do anything to those files on your pc, just copy them to your phone, and open them in the file explorer on your phone. like I said before, your pc thinks they are zip files, so winzip will open them when you click on them on your pc, but your phone should know they are .cab files.

Oke , thnx , now i get it

[Q] how to install games

hi guys
i know i may sound like a dim wit but how do i install games on my touch2 from the computer.
if its just a .cab file im able to install but if its a jar file or a zip file with more than one file then how do i install it from my comp.
pls pls pls pls someone help me!!
i will be very thankful.
thanks in advance.
edit: actually im not able to install .cab file either.

First assume you have your mobile connected to PC via activesync.
Transfer cab file to your phone through file explorer. In file explorer of your phone under "my documents" you find cab file. Double tab on it and file opens. Say "yes" when asked if you want to install program.
A winzip file you have to unzip and after that there is another cab file or a file you have to open from your PC. In many cases there is a readme file included.
A jar file you can open with program winrar or pocketrar. Than propably you find a readme file aswell with more instructions.
If not clear let us know.

[Q] How to unzip the ROM which generated by Acer update decrypter

Hi all,
I select the ROM file as input file from Acer update decrypter, and it will generate a new ROM file by click "START"
But my question is how to unzip the decrypted ROM ??
I try winzip and winrar .. both can not work .
Thanks

EDIT: sorry misread - try 7z never failed to work for me
it should "output" a " file which you can the unzip and extract the "update.zip" - your pc antivirus will see the decrypter as a trojan, maybe its preventing it from running???
