**PocketNester**

does anyone know where i can find pockester?
i tried on google but every site it took me it was .rar files

what's wrong with rar files?

.rar files are like zipped (compressed) files--download winrar to open it...its a pretty useful program to have imo.

Look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnester
there you´ll find zipped files

Is there somehow a way to get it working on my dynamics gtx windows mobile 6.5.3?

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.

Here you are!!!

you need to open pocketrar from the programs folder and resign .rar files to pocketrar. then it should pick them up when in file explorer.

Try Resco File Explorer version 7.05 from www.resco.net. Could open ZIP & RAR format. The best file explorer yet!

You could try 7-zip for WM. It's alpha, but it's incredibly functional and works fine for the most part. Just make sure that you associate it with RAR files in the settings panel. And FYI, I've gotten PocketRAR to work by simply using a hardware OK button during the part where the OK button is inaccessible and the menus don't work. After that, it's fully functional again.

WinRAr unpacks CAB files as XML docs??

Hi,
Can anyone help please. I have tried using both winzip & winrar to unpack CAB files, but they seem to be unpacked as HTML docs. If I click to run, takes me to html code page on the web.

you dont need to unzip the .cab files on your computer.
You just put the .cab file on your phone then "open" it on your phone. Thats how the .cab file runs.
It's kind of like an .exe file on your phone

Yeah - a cab file is an installer, similar to msi files on your PC. There's XML files in there that define what to do with the rest of the files in there.

if you want to see whats inside a cab file on your pc then use msceinf .. its free and very effective.
that way you can see what folders a cab sets up. extract what files it has, and tue registry too.

Thank you guys - downloaded a small cab and opened on device. Works fine.
Feel a bit naff for tearing my hair out over such a simple thing.
Now I'm going to try and find that msceinf as mentioned by fards.
thanks again.

HD2 cab install

hello guys, i dont own an hd2 yet but ill buy one this month but i have a question i want to add some cabs file on my device when i get. My question is i have download some cabs BUT when i open the winrar i dont get any cab file, all i get is some files that has bunch of numbers and one of them says "_setup.xml" so what should i do? should i directly put the winrar file on my hd2? since i dont get any cab file inside the winrar?? and if there's a cab file inside the winrar and i press the button "extract here" should i just upload the cab file only to my hd2 right??
Hope you guys can help me.
Thank you.

Hi.
A CAB file is a compressed installer file for mobile phones.
If you open it with winrar, you will see all the files it contains.
Just copy the original .cab file to your phone.
Click on the .cab file, and it will run the installer, and install the program on your phone.
You can choose to install to the main memory or the sd card.

Yeah - as above. What you're calling a "winrar" file is the cab file.

Extract a cab
Ok, I know this isn't the original question but...
is it possible to extract a .cab file - i mean to extract all the different files that make up the program , all the .exe .dll .ico etc etc. Wanting to do this to help me reverse-engineer a couple of omnia 2 cabs that don't work.

Tried that, all I get are 10 files. One of them is _setup.xml, the others are numbered files.
I've attached a screen capture of the files so you can see what they are.

Yes that's what you would expect as they are the cab install files.
If they don't mean anything are you sure you know what you're doing?

That's what I'm trying to find out. I assume that the WM program works in a similar way to windows program in that its a collection of files (exe, ico, dll, cfg so on so forth) that get installed in the appropriate places on the device. If so, how do you 'unpack' these files from the setup files

use a cab manager program. I don't so I can't recommend, but wincecab manager sound familiar. u can use them to create cabs of your tweaks, install files and such.

it seems that you have never used windows mobile (just copy the winrar file into the device and run it from the device)

I'm not trying to install a cab file (which the first post was about) I'm trying to decompile the omnia 2 video editor to get it to run on the HD2 but instead of starting a new thread, I asked on this one because it seemed (partially) relevant.
BTW, I've got the cab 'extracted' so thanks - no for the difficult part...
