new here, how do i download some of these links to the phone to install them?
You have to download the file to you computer then connect you phone to you PC using active sync (XP) Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista). Then I use file explorer to find the file I want copy it (right click>copy) the use file explorer to go to your device (or storage card) and past it. After that use file explorer on you phone ti find a click on the file (CAB) and it should install.
good luck

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 have down loaded several (cab) programs onto my Mac, then loaded this to the Kaiser. However, some programs only download from the internet as (exe). Can these load onto the Kaiser like (cab) file do? just checking before I do this.
those usually need to be installed to a PC first. then the PC installs them to the PDA device.
Unfortunately, we in the Mac world still have to use a PC every once in a while (please, no flame intended or desired).
There is one program, File Juicer, that can extract some .cab files from .exe files, but not most.
What you need to do is borrow a PC, download the .exe, double click on it. it will most likely be put in the c: drive, program files --->Microsoft ActiveSync. From there, you should see the .cab file and can put it on a usb drive and then put in on your Mac and transfer it over via Bluetooth.
It is the one frustration using these devices while living in the Mac world.
Thank you , I will give tht a try.
It's also worth trying to open them with your favorite app to handle ZIP files. The EXE is often just a self-extracting archive that doesn't actually require a PC to use.
there are two check and fix dead pixel program that you can run direct from the phone, it's a exe extention.

how can you extract the necessary cab file out of an exe file?
http://www.ocpsoftware.com
They have 2 products, the cheaper one is primarily for extracting stuff out of Cab files. Both products have a trial period.
RE
I was thinking more like a tool for my device to extract the cab from the exe, not a tool to use on a pc since activesync would xfer the cab once the exe is run on the pc anyways
Maybe PocketRAR. Can do on desktop, but never tried on PPC.

How about:
1. Click on the cab file to install it.
2. If you just wanted the program installed stop here.
3. Find the exe on your Device and copy to someplace safe.
4. Remove the program (uninstall it) from your Device.
Now if this doesn't cover your need then please be a bit more specific about what you are trying to accomplish.
I am Looking for the Same thing
I m also Looking for the same thing....
I think what he mean is ... For Example If i want to install POCKETRAR directly from Website to my Pocket pc.. if i go to www.rarlab.com they only have EXE file for Active sync (No Cab File)....
Is dere any software for Pocket PC that can directly Run "ActiveSync EXE files)"on Pocket PC to get the Cab files out of them.....so we can install application without the need of Computer
For that i will simply install the progam on my laptop without my PPC connected then find and copy the cab file. After I have a copy of the cab file I uninstall the program.
Unfortunately no direct on PPC solution.
Yeah but what would you do ... if you have a situation .. where you dont have windows pc ..... I use Linux ... i have to install applications to my friends pc to get it on my Windows Mobile... This will really help alot .. if someone can figure out a way to extract Cab from EXE.....
this is what i normally do:
1. download the EXE onto your PC
(make sure your phone is stay connected at ActiveSync)
2. run the file and STOP when your phone is popping up installation notice
3. open up an explorer go to "\Windows\AppMgr\Install" on ur phone
4. at that moment, you will find your *.CAB file temporarily
5. COPY the file, n' save it somewhere and retain a copy OR share it here
anyway ... that's the manual way but by far, I havent find any softwares to do it yet. good luck.

thats a good way of doing it but if i want to get a cab from an exe is because i have ****y vista so i dont have activesync
Doesn't extract from the phone but, Uniextract will extract cabs from most exe's and installers on a pc. I use it all the time cuz I hate having to run an install or exe just to get a cab. Here's a download link from Softpedia

oh man thats a real good find.
thanks alot!
thanks great program needed this for awhile
AL
whenever i try and drag files into the windows directory on the HTC Diamond Touch i get an error saying i do not have permission to place the files in that directory. how do i get around it?
I had the same, when trying to do the file operation on my PC (using windows explorer with the Diamond connected via USB). When I copied the files on the Diamond directly, using the win mobile file explorer, it worked fine.
UPDATE:
Some new people in here might face some problems on how to update the device.
The simplest solution is here!
1. Root your phone. If you haven't, here's how to.
2. Install xRecovery.
3. Download the Firmware and extract it. Place the folder in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup.
(If you haven't created it, then create it! )
Place the folder in /sdcard/xrecovery/backup.
(If you haven't created it, then create it! )

create this using mobile or when mobile connected to pc and create a folder via pc companion file manager ???
Connecting to PC, using mass storage or PC Companion File Manager.
Whatever you want, but you will have to connect your mobile phone to your PC
You can also use some of file explorers from market like ES file explorer or Astro File Manager and change content of SD card directly from your phone.
when u phone connected...
create new folder and name it xrecovery
enter the xrecovery folder AND create new folder AND name it backup
enter the backup folder AND here (sd/xrecovery/backup/) place to put the extracted file
