So I have Hyperdragon 3 Jade on my tilt, and I been trying to install it on my tilt but the application always says not of a pocket pc application???
If you go to Winrar, the winrar pocket pc file is an executable for cab installation to your phone from your pc via Active Synch or WMDC-(that's why it's telling you it can't install when you put it on your phone and try to install it.).. It is not a cab file.
You need the cab to install directly on your phone.
I attached the cab for ya, just dload this on your phone and install it.
Much Thankkks.

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.
ok been downloading some utilities for windows mobile 6 like printboy to print from the kaiser to wifi.
All i get is "....... is not a valid pocketpc application"
Hmm
I specifically chose the trial version for pocket pc/ windows mobile.
Ive tried other progs and get the same message.
What gives?
are you trying to install exe or msi files directly on your phone? are you using a pc to install or are you using the filemanager on your phone. remember .cab files install from your filemanager on your phone. exe and msi files you have to install through a pc with activesync or with vista you need windows mobile device center
aha, ive been downloading on wifi directly on the kaiser and tryin to install.
So what i need is to make sure i download a cab file, if i want to install from phone directly?
yep cabs for phone, exe and msi for pc
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

Greets,
If a piece of software is packaged so that its installation onto the Tilt is via an EXE which must be run from the PC, is there a way to take that EXE, extract its contents, and turn it into a CAB?
Putting aside the fact that the EXE leaves vestiges of itself on the PC (including the Start Menu [sometimes], and the Control Panel [always]), a CAB would also allow installation where the PC is on "limited privileges". The CAB is just more versatile.
Thanks!
There is always a CAB file. The EXE pushes it onto the device.
Often the installation directory of the PC will have the CAB in there, or do a search by date/type DURING the install on both your phone and your device for ".cab" files and you should find it.
sometimes they temporarily live in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync
I think there is a queue dir on the phone too, but I can't remember what it is.
I have d/l coreplayer, but it's all just a bunch of files. Is it a case of simply transferring them to the diamond whereupon I initiate the installation on the phone itself? If so where do I install to and which files do I need?
Thanks,
S.
you need to transfer the .cab file to the diamond and run it from the file explorer in the phone. If you have ie. WinRAR installed and just went with default settings, the cab. look like an archive like .zip and .rar files and therefore many people think they have to unpack it...
Two ways apps are installed on a PPC.
1. Via a CAB file (filename ends in .cab) by transferring the CAB file to the PPC and "clicking" it within file explorer.
2. Via ActiveSync app installer by running the EXE on your PC. (ActiveSync then transfers the CAB file without you having to do it.)
If you downloaded coreplayer, it should have been only one file (either a CAB file that you run on the PPC or an EXE that you run on the PC).
