Not sure what to do with the Zip package you have. But you could always install PocketRar, and associate it with zip and rar files.

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.
noob question...i managed to copy the kaisertweak.exe to \My Documents\Personal by just browsing to it and doing a 'Save As'. However, this doesn't seem to work for the XML...it wants to display it in the browser. I've tried renaming the xml file with a .dat extension, an .exe extension and without an extension...but it won't let me download the file. What's the best way to get the xml file from the web (http://www.fxnexus.com/storage/kaiser/kaisertweak.xml) to my device?
(I don't want to use an intermediary PC to transfer files.)
thx, fxs.

all you got to do is in your browser hit FILE > save page as. select only save xml, not full page. if that dont work, then just go here and download the ZIP file that contains both the new kaisertweak exe and xml files.

On IE ...on my device?? I don't have a File Menu option!
Once I load the xml file within IE...all I have at the bottom is a 'Back' menu option, and a 'Menu' menu option. 'Menu' has Edit, View, Tools etc...but no 'File'.
I tried doing a Edit --> Select All --> Copy and then, went into Word Mobile to paste it all and save as text...but then, I'm left with a '.txt' file that I cannot rename to '.xml'.

do it on your PC not in the WM. if you insist on using your device to dl, then i suggest installing a unzipper. then you can just download that kaiser tweak zip file to your phone. unzip it on the phone and you got both the exe and xml right on the phone.
Can't install Kaisertweak on AT&T Tilt
I've tried installing this two ways:
1. On my PC: when I click the .exe file, I get the message: "KaiserTweak.exe is not a valid Win32 application."
2. On my Tilt: when I click on the .zip file, it shows KaiserTweak.exe and KaiserTweak.xml, but the latter file has the Opera browser icon next to it and the description "Unknown Type." When I tap on KaiserTweak.exe, I get the message: "Unable to open file \Windows\-IA Zip Temporary Files\KaiserTweak.xml". Press OK to ignore and risk data corruption. Press Cancel to kill the program." When I press OK, nothing happens: I'm brought back to the display of the .exe and .xml files.
I'm assuming the program is not installing, and that I'll know that the installation was successful when I see KaiserTweak when I select Start/Programs.
Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to install various cab's, the ones that I have tried in the past have been one cab file. I simply transfer it to my phone and open it there.
But... some recent files appear as multiple files after I unrar them, none appear to be a traditional "cab" and I can't work out what to do with the them.
Any advice gratefully taken!
That maybe because you are extracting what you have downloaded.
What extension are they when you first download them?
Give us some examples of the full file names after extraction.
Mike
Hi Mike.
The one file for example is the Intent midlet manager, it shows _setup.xml and files such as loads of JMMFIL after I use winrar on them. Should I not be unraring them and just placing the downloaded file on the phone?
It does show as a winrar file, very confused!
In a stunning turn around of events I am an idiot, no need to extract them at all! Thanks all!
Generally a cab file will be seen by winrar/winzip as a compressed file if you open it on your pc. But normally a cab file should be copied to your phone (main memory or storage card) and run from there - no need to extract.
When I press setup to install a programme it opens me an internet window with the commands on it and I cannot install it. What is the problem ?
i suspect you have downloaded a .cab file, which is associated with something like winrar so you have mistakenly extracted it and then tried to 'install'
BUT you need to copy the .cab to your phone and run the .cab to install the program
andy (yes i am talking from experience) T
Word! I agree, copy the whole .cab file to your Internal memory, just "double click" on it, and press "Yes". And btw, check again to be sure, if it is a .cab file!
there is no .cab file. Its a setup file ...
fixed it ...thanks
