I once again will show my ignorance but what process do I use to install cab files onto my Sprint ppc 6600. I have them downloaded but I am clueless as to what I need to do next. This site has been AWESOME thanks!
Using Activesync, put your Pocket PC into the cradle, when it is done syncing, press the Explore button. Then go to a folder you want the cab to be put, and copy it from your desktop computer and paste it into the Explore window. Then, on your pocket pc, use File Explorer to locate the file, and then select it to have it install.
Can't install
After copying the cab file to Blue Angel and transfer the cab file, I tap on the file to install. All I get tis this message " The file "*.dll" is in use or is in Rom. No matter how I try or reset the device, still I can't get it installed.
I just got my 8125 and im used to my treo so i have tried everything i can think of to try and get the enablerapi file from lockiwiz onto my 8125 and i cant figure it out. I tried using the add/remove programs from active sync and it wouldnt let me drag anything into the box and i also tried using explore to try and drag it but it wouldnt let me do that either. Sorry for the dumb question im just used to my mac and treo, not windows and the 8125.

You need copy that file to the phone and run the cab from phone directly. If you have AS connected, you can use Windows Explorer to copy the file over to the phone.
Can someone please answer the most basic of N00B questions ...
1) How do I install .EXE files onto the Tilt
2) How do I install .CAB files onto the Tilt
Specifically, with # 1, I am trying to install KaiserTweak, but it does not run under Windows XP and there is no info on how to get it onto the phone and how to install it (it has an XML too).
Thanks!
copy them over to your kaiser. run them by clicking on them using file explorer
Ummm ... N00bier
Thanks, but HOW?
I have activesync running, and it is doing a bang up job. I cannot figure out how to get the EXE and XML over onto the phone.
Also, how would a CAB work, same way?
OMG!
cab - copy to phone and run through file explorer
exe - run through pc/ or run directly from the device
to copy files over to your PPC...
click the explore button on your activesync app running on your desktop from there you can drag and drop the files anywhere
I drag and drop .cabs to my storage card, I have a cab folder with two folders inside one is device and one is card. It is an easy backup and reminds me of where i installed that particular cab. Now, if you have an .exe or .msi you can run that from your desktop and as long as you are synced the install wizard will install the app to your phone giving you the option to install it on the device or the card.
Now, some applications are meant to be ran from your phone, such as mplayer or Kaiser Tweaks. You copy the file over to your device and click the .exe when you want to run the program.
Hope this helps!
I just got a new htc tilt (kaiser), and I am trying to get used to the windows operating sys. I downloaded the htc home plug in successfully, but I can't download any of Schap's files on xda. I download the files and put them in a new folder and snyc my pc and phone. When i open the program in the phone i click the setup and it goes to internet explorer and downloads. When I try to open the other files is says i need to run the app first. Any suggestions, I know I am doing something stupid.
Hello,
I just bought the new HTC Touch Diamond today from Telus Mobility (My Provider) and when I put on a program to install and try to open the .cab file in the File Explorer, it tries to open it in Opera Mobile and I cannot install the program.
I am using ActiveSync to transfer the files from my computer to the Internal Storage area of my phone, then I find the files using the File Explorer on the phone, click the .cab file and it tries to open it in Opera Mobile.
Anyone have any ideas?
P.S. I just tried a Soft Reset, and that didn't help.
Thanks in advance!!
Try to manually rename the files to "whatever.CAB." Add .cab to it and see if that'll get it working.
Hmm..
Okay, I tried that and it didn't work.
I am trying to install a program and the files it has is:
_setup - XML Document (I click on that to activate install?)
ADVANC~1.000
ADVANC~1
ADVANC~1.003
ADVANC~1.004
ADVANC~2.002
Hope this helps..
(Yes, I realize it's not a cab file >.< )
After reviewing the situation over. You are NOT supposed to extract the files, then put them on your phone. Leave them in the archive (.cab file), upload to your phone and then execute it.
It should start installing right away.
Hope this helps for anyone else!!
