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!

AL
can any one please help me on how to install .EXE file on my kaiser. thank you very much in advance
search the site or google
u have to run exe files from ur computer and have ur kaiser active syc'd and then installed auto on ur phone.
Pacman -
How do you use the phone?
You will agree that is a really difficult question with lots of answers. In order to give you the answer that you want or need you will have to get more specific.
Is this an EXE file that is common to run on the Kaiser? (Every EXE file will not run on a phone - for example - you cannot copy WOR.EXE and expect it to run.)
Is anyone else running it on the Kaiser? (Has it been done before?)
What is it that this EXE file does? (Help us know what it is that you are trying to do.)
What ROM version do you have? (Help us know what version of the phone you are using.)
If you can give some more specifics or search and see if someone else has already asked your question and it has been answered then you will get much better service.

If it is an INSTALLATION .exe file type, then it is probably an installer & must be run on the desktop.
If it is a PORTABLE APP type .exe, then you just transfer it to your device & then create a shortcut & copy it (the shortcut) to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\.
thank you everyone for the advice.... its my first time owning a pocket Pc so i still have alots to learn. i'll keep in mind all the tips next time i post a question.
Here is the easiest way to tell if the EXE is meant to run on your PC or on your phone...
From your PC, double-click the file. If it runs, its a PC app. If you get "xyz.exe is not a valid Win32 application", its for your phone.
Hi,
Is you it possible to convert the hotxix for the HD in cab ? Or how to integrate them directly in the kitchen ?
(TouchHD_display flicker.exe and Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe)
Thank you for advances if you have a solution..
NB: or how the décompilate
When you install the exe files, it will be a cab file placed in root folder.
Get it as soon as possible, or it will be deleted when finished.
Could somebody be so nice and upload the cab files please? Unfortunately I'm running Windows 2000 and the executives tell me my OS is too old.
try launch the exe on the phone, and don't install (but let it stay running, not terminating the program), use your favorite file browser to grab the "Install.cab" under the root folder
You have to do it on device not on PC
Thanks, stupid me. Should have read the description. No wonder my system was not supported. Gonna try it now.
Hi,
I put this order in my Kitchen (Oem OperatorPkg_PT)
EXEC:\windows\TouchHD_display_flicker.exe
EXEC:\windows\Touch_HD_SlidingAnswer.exe
But there must be certainly simpler ??
I have just bought a HTC Diamond. I am new to the world of Windows Mobile.
So far the phone is great! I love it.
I have noticed you can download lots of apps and tweaks.
I want just wondering how to instal these programs on the phone.
I have downloaded a few games, Unzipped and copied over the files to the phone. It recognioses one of the games with a '.cab' format and it installed, but the rest are .xml.
Any pointers, tips and hints for this phone?
Cheers
the program you use to extract compressed files identifies cab files as compressed. All you need to do is copy the cab files to your phone and run the file from there. If you try to extract a cab file, you'll get those xml files you talked about.
1. Copy cab to phone
2. Run cab from phone to install the program
good luck

Hi - my first post!
You mention .cab files... I expect this applies to .exe's as well (for example, hot fixes)???
Any particular folder(s) on the phone we should be copying these files to before running them? I tried to install a hot fix today, but after running the .exe and receiving a 'success' message, the phone restarts OK, but the fix does not appear to have worked.
all exe install's for pocketpc's are pc exe files which have to be run
on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file to the
pocketpc and run it there

Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, running the exe on my PC (Win Vista) doesn't seem to work.
Error: "{C:\filepath\filename.exe} is not a valid Win32 application."
Any ideas? I'm a complete newb at this so have exhausted my very limited list of possible ideas...
some people don't distribute their apps with installers so it could
just be the program itself
in which case you have to execute it on the pocketpc
this of cause mean that it will not put a shortcut to the exe
in your programs thats just something you have
to do manualy with a program like total commander
which you can also use to browse to where you put the
exe file and execute it to start the program

OK thanks - I already tried running the exe straight from my Diamond, and although it appeared to work correctly, the hotfix didn't actually fix what it claimed to. Not to worry, I'm still learning all this stuff (only had my Diamond for a day and a half now... ).
help please wanted before i pull all my hair out' bite all my nails off and become the man to launch a xda ll off of beachy head.......grrrrrrrrrrrr.
my problem is, i have windows mobile 6.1.6965 and running widows 7.
everything hooks up ok, i can see whats on my mobile, but when i download ext,rom unlock and unhide, plus hima_doc plus pnewboot, which are zipped folders, i tried to unzip them through winraa and its always asking for the next file to carry on to a full unzip, ive tried for hoursssssssssss with no luck.
all im trying to do is unhide my extra space format it and install a new operating system.
also when i try to extract any zip file to my xda, a screen opens to ask where i want to drop them to, but i cant see my pda in this screen, i was wondering was this the fault of windows 7.
im realy new to this so a walkthrough with step by step upgrade instructions would be great ie do i need to leave my sim card in and unlock ext_rom and installing a operating system.
i know this takes time to explain this, but this is a excellent forum and i hope there is a kind member out there that would do this.
many thanks in advance

you want to install another operating system next to win mo 6.5?
You can't do that.
when you do the himadoc tool you only get about 10mb more space for apps/
