INSTALLING CAB FILES? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Can someone please help me, how do you install cab files, cannot see how this is done. Trying to update my bluetooth to 3900 and all files are unreadable on my pocketpc???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the Blue Angel FAQ on the wiki page.
I have been writing something about that on the faq for the blue angel.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ

still don't work, i open the broadcom 3900 folder and click on a file and says "there is no application associated with this file"

copy the .cab file to your device, click on it on your device and it should install

Sigh...this has been only been explained 100 times on this forum. Maybe we need to make this a tutorial or something....
Code:
How to install *.CAB files:
STEP 1: Download the *.CAB file to your computer
STEP 2: Open de folder that contains the *.CAB file
STEP 3: Have your PDA in de craddle connected to your computer
STEP 4: Open ActiveSync, and click on Explore
STEP 5: COPY (drag) the *.CAB file to your PDA
STEP 6: Click on the *.CAB file in your PDA (with stylus)
The *.CAB file will now be installed.
In some cases, you need to soft-reset your device.
Or...as MDAIIIuser puts it: You can also go eat an apple...
That's all there is to it.

be more specific!
Where do you click on and what do you click on and on what device do you click on it?
You click on the cab file in the ftp folder and you get error
Then click on it with right mouse and select save target as.....
Or
You click on the cab file on your computer and you get the error.
Good, you allready downloaded it so now copy it to your device before trying to open it.
Or
You allready managed to get the file on your device and you get the error wich i don't believe it is the problem because then the install should begin.

Or you buy an apple and eat it.

ok guys thanx 4 all ur help, figured it out, the problem was i was extracting the folder first on My pc then just c0pying the files 0ver to the pocket pc. Instead of copyiny the complete file to the pocket pc then extracting it from there.

copy the .cab file to your device

I add the line to the FAQ
Do not extract the cab files on your computer.

SIM Contacts

Hello,
I have applied the KaiserTweak and changed the settings to hide SIM contacts, but they keep on showing after a reset. How do you ensure that they are hidden completely.
I am concerned about the problem because I just received my Bluetooth Headset (HBH-DS980), and it can't retrieve contacts information from my device.
I would appreciate any assistance,
sincerely, MN

Andics,
thanks very much. I saw this cab earlier. When i download it onto my mobile device, i'm unable to run the *.cab file -- it still opens as an *.xml file when I double-click on it.
I've attached a screen shot of the contents of the zipped file...
what can i do next?

You probably have pocketRAR or something that handles cab as a compress file and it's telling the system to extract the CAB file !!!
I installed the cab file fine ... run it ... don't extract it !!

hi all

could anyone please tell me how to install CAB files ?

and sorry about the question

Cab files are relatively easy to install. Using an Activesync connection, hit Explore on the Activesync window and that will open up a window of your device. Click on MyWindowsMobile Device (or something like that). This is a view of the 'root' directory on your device.
Copy (drag and drop is easiest) from the desktop location to the window showing the 'root' of your device. Now, the CAB should be on your TyTN II.
(You can disconnect the Activesync connection now, if you want).
On the TyTN II, open up File Explorer and go to the root directory of your device (normally, this is the one it opens up on.).
Locate the CAB file you copied over, then double-tap it to execute it. Then follow any directions given. That's it!

Ok, use file explorer. Select the cab and run it.

Both your question and the answers were clear enough.
Once you have copied the cab onto your device, use the built in File explorer on the TyTN2 to find the cab file. Then just double click on it, the same as you would to open a Word file for example. Then just follow any on-screen instructions/requests. Simple as....

how to install cab file?

Hey I am new, and I am wondering how do you install cab files? I downloaded the midlet manager and i extracted it on my pc, and i see a bunch of files but none of them are cab files,they are all unidentified,can some one help me please? much appreciated
thanks in advanced
Just copy and paste the zipped cabfile in your phone anywhere through Activesync,preferably 'My documents' folder and execute it there in the phone,it'll run and install all by itself.
Cheers!
when I extract the file,I dont see any cab files, So i just put the whole folder in my phone,I try clicking on the files and they wont open,I just get a message sayin
"There is no application associated with "00CAB10A",run application first then open this file from within the application
ok, for 'Midlet' here's how you do it as per the post in Midlet Manager by risidoro:-
------- HOW TO INSTALL ------------
- Download Risidoro's Intent MIDlet Manager version 11.1.7.1023
- extract the cab (inside the archive) somewhere in your PC (e.g. Desktop)
- copy to somewhere in your PocketPC (e.g. \storage card)
- in your PocketPC, navigate with File Manager to the cab and tap on it to install
- when asked, choose to install in the Device (and NOT in Storage Card!)
- reboot when asked
or read the thread :-

You are NOT supposed to unpack the CAB!!!
You must copy the cab (Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_Manager_11.1.7.1023.cab) found inside the zip file from the thread that zabardast linked to your device and simple run it (one click via File Explorer or double-click with Total Commander)
as simple as that...
thank you so much
I got it installed
ok I have a htc droid eris and I can't find the file manager on my phone to get to the files on the sdcard. so I downloaded a file manager app and when I click on the .cab file it does not just install it asks what I want to do open with kind of thing. like browser and a bunch more things I have tried most of them and nothing is working. Is there something else I need to install a .cab file with this phone or wtf is my dumb butt doing wrong to not be able to install it.
Install .cab files to unlock sd card.
Hi, think ive messed up here... can someone help or confirm my balls up!
Ive been following this tutorial to flash my hd2 with an updatable Win.7 rom;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236027
Charging ahead, installed, had a few probs along the way but worked through them... got it installed and working!
Then, moving onto step two of my plan, a dual boot of Android from sd card... :S Do you know whats coming? After re-reading the install instructions I noticed the 'Unlock SDCard' a few steps before installing the rom. :S I have now learnt that Windows mobile 7 locks the sd card to the device and is un-usable in anything else, having already messed up an 8gb and a 16gb...!
Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to 'somehow' install the .cab files to unlock the sd card...? or anyone know of a way to decrypt the sd card?
"THE SD CARD IS UN-READABLE IN MY PC AND PHONE WITH WM6.5 STOCK ROM"
If I re-install the rom from the 'back to the future' tutorial (link above), the storage is available for use on the hd2, but still cannot be seen by my PC... making it hard to install .cab file or anything else!
Both my sd cards have effectivly been high-jacked by microsoft...!
Please help me liberate my GB's...!

most installations create cabs

Whenever I install a program it appears to open a cab on my kaiser.
Rather than running the installers all the time on my laptop, is there a way to find those cabs and just move them to my storage card so I can install them if I am away from my laptop?
go to the installation folder on ur desktop and the cab would be in a folder in there. usually the folder marked 'installation files' or 'resources'..
just look for the cab file.
found some..
but not most ...
Very odd..
If you mean that when you run a .exe on your laptop to install a program on your kaiser, then it is possible to sometimes extract the cabs from the .exe or installer. A program called Universal Extractor can extract over 50 types of files including most installers. It is free, and supports many languages. It even adds an entry to the context menu, so you can right click nearly any file. It will then try to find the appropriate extracting tool, and then if it succeeds, it will place the files in a folder in the same directory as the original file. Try this, it has worked very well for me.

If it helps, I tend to find most of them are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync

Installing from PC - Where is CAB

Some software I install is done with an .exe file from the PC. It seems like these programs simply dump the CAB onto the phone for install. Does anyone know where this CAB is on the phone so I can copy it for re-install later?
Doug M.
Check the location you installed on your PC, the cab is usually there too
I have a quick question. I dowloaded Xtract that game. And I extracted the zip and i dont see a .cab file anywhere. Only a setup.xml and a few other files.
Sometimes it goes into a temp folder, it depends on the software. If I see it mention a location during the install process I check that folder for the cab file.

Ohh nevermind. So with CABviaActiveSync I just click it and it will install to my phone?
Sometimes you can open up the .exe file with 7-zip and just extract the cab file. Or, if you have sk tools, you can re-pack the program into a cab with their 'installed programs' tool.

Hi Doug!
You can find the .cab file(s) in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\XXXX
Where XXXX is the name of the software you have installed.
HTH
Thanks for the replies. This should speed-up some installs for me.
