I downloaded the lokiwiz02b .rar file and extracted it to my :C/ drive.
Now I'm trying to find that file (enablerapi.cab) but can't find it anywhere. The only one i see is winrar archive which I can't put on my pda.
can someone help me out on this one?
Thanks
unRAR it and put the .cab file into your device...
for some reason, I just can't find it. I have the lokiwiz02 rar file on my desktop, i extract it to my C: drive.. but I can't find that .cab file anywhere.
it is because you are being confused...the .cab file also opens with winRAR...dont unrar the cab file, just transfer it into your device, execute it, and then install on device
Here is the cab.
Cheers

Thanks for sharing~
Doesn't work on HTC Dual Touch Standard WM6.1 ROM...
Here is a step-by step instructions
1) Download the Lockwiz02b
2) Unzip Lockwiz02b
3) in there you can find EnableRapi.Cab
4) Copy it into your PDA
5) Now you can see EnableRapi.Cab in your PDA through Fileexplore
Note - you need to have Activesync install in your PC to perform the copy task
hi !
Most of our software are .exe files to be run from a PC and to be installed then on the PPC.
When one wants to perform a HR away from PC, it is then hard to quickly re-install all apps.
Having cab files stored in the SD card is the solution but what to do when no cab files are available only exe ?
My question is then the following : is there a possibility to extract CAB files from .exe files ?
Thx in advance
Hi,
Often the .exe is just a self extracting archive which you can open with winrar
doesn't always work, just right-click on the .exe en choose open with winrar...
also, when you try to install an exe file, the .cab is extracted and moved to you phone, that means you should be able to find the cab somewhere and copy it...
most of the time in \program files\microsoft active sync\(appname)
also, when you install an app, some of them ask you where to install it on your pc, in that directory you can find the cabs you need
now I'm just looking for a program that can make an cab installer that can be run on my phone and installs every cab to SD...
I found one, but it doesn't work... teksoft airwizard 1.1...
Bartus
at times one can also just rename it from .exe to .zip
yes copy from activesync folder is possible but i have the same problem only with this difference. On my working computer i have administrator rights and folder Program files is blocked for me. I need a program to extract cab form exe. WinRar does not work. Sorry for my bad english
well try this: after cab transferred to your device, don't install it (and don't cancel!!) , go to Windows\AppMgr , and see if a folder with the name of that program exists with a cab file in it ...

try SettingsSaviour ... it has a silent install feature with which you can install many cabs at once, downside is silent isntall can't be used to install programs on SD, you'll have to manually choose Storage Card for each program...
Very comprehensive explanations ... thanks to all of you ! I gonna try and report if any further problems.
--------------------------------------------
After trying to change the extension of the .exe, I have to report that it works with one of the files I wanted to CABized.
To MODO : do I need to stamp this thread as SOLVED ?

What I did to keep installed cab files was I created a new folder in my storage card and named it "CABS", then I did a registry tweak to where the cab file was not deleted after installation. Now whenever I download a cab file, I "save as", CABS folder(from the dropdown box) on my storage card.

Just wants to mention a "universal" unpacker called UniExtract - http://legroom.net/software/uniextract - it can extract many .EXEs made by install tools. Also - check out MSCEInf - which can analyze an CAB-file - http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/msceinf.shtml
Are you able to open a exe file on your device? 90% of the programs I like have exe files and I always get not a valid pocket pc application. I've even tried to rename exe to cab or zip, but doesn't work. The file extension being downloaded is shaded out in the file type box in the download dialog box and cannot be changed. I've tried programs to convert exe files to other extensions, but all they do is convert after the downloaded exe files have already been installed.

thats because they are exe files that are supposed to be run on a normal PC. You download the exe to a PC, then when you have your Phone connected via Activesync, run the exe and it will install on your phone.
Alternativly, use WinRar on your PC to extract the exe, and copy the .cab files to your phone, then open them. (this does not always work, not all exe files are extractable)

My solution is:
1) keep PDA disconnected (no active sync session)
2) install exe as usual and, when standard installation dialog will appear, go on (later cab installation will begin when you'll connect phone to pc)
3) open regedit.exe
4) go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps
5) there you'll find a list of installable cabs via active sync
6) under each application, the value ListCabFiles is the name of cab file and the value InstallDir is its position of file system.
Remember to uninstall exe after you copy/move the cab file (or delete application key) otherwise installation of cab files will start on next activesync session!!
Simple, do you agree?
yeh... sure i cant use activesync, so i just extract the exes seems easy enough

I have just used uniextract to unpak my Pocket informant, I think this utility will be a life saver for all those files that i can't get as CABS. I have a lot of problems with active sync but can easily transfer to SD card with card reader or WM5Storage.
Thanks you so much
exe programs which use activesync
always get cabs from the install programs
if just renaming the exe to zip don't let you extract the cab file manualy
an installation on a pc without a pda connected to active sync would leave the cab files somewhere so next time the pda is connected the cabs can be transfered
search for *.cab and find the one you're looking for on the computer
Ran the .exe, found the cab, copied it.
Thanks.
Oh and UniExtract looks like a great program so I'll probably be using that next time.
NOT ALL
Not all the apps can run on the SD... thats for sure
but always you can... use setingsaivour BTW you can edit some cabs that arent sign trusted or only read with cab manager and edit the cab to apply the default installation or tell it that you dont want to choose set default main or SD... save it and tadaaaa!
I always do that... change .exe to .rar or .zip see inside extract the cab and copy it to my Cab folder on sd... always edit the sd config... and run the User customization !
this is not only easy, but it works flawlessly,
thanks
why don't you try 7zip for pocket pc? is the best way and quick cuz you ccan estract your cab files right on your ppc
just go to menu and extract, works for executables for windows

Not to get off subject but teksoft is just one way. I know there is a nother and I can't remember where it was, but I'll keep looking for the cab install program and let you know where it is or provide a link, if I find it.
I need to install Funambol, too bad I use Mac...
Here's the file: http://funambol.com/opensource/download.php?file_id=funambol-smartphone-plugin-7.0.8.exe
Could someone please extract the .cab and send it to me?
Thank a lot in advance!
get a copy of vmware fusion, install windos on it.
try changing it from exe to zip many exe install programs are just self extracting zip files
I appreciate this is a total newb question but the search facility is bringing me no joy.
I want to add a theme to change the SPB look. I have downloaded the rar file but it will not extract on my PC. I have copied the file into the SPB program folder and I can see the files when I click on the rar file but don't understand how to extract them to the main SPB folder???
I'm sure there's something really easy i'm missing but my head hurts now. Anyone help me please?
Cheers

The themes file are .tsk. You should extract those RAR files in your PC and then copy those .tsk file to your memory card but don't put in folder in memory card. After that go to settings--->today and you will see those themes, select the one you like and click ok. It will be changed to that.
Hope it will help.
For some reason the rar file will not extract on my PC. Any ideas?

Why you should not be able to extract .rar files. I think may be your rar file are corrupt? Please download again. What rar program you use to extract? You can use 7zip which is free.
Hi there, I just bought a new HTC 2 Pro and upgrade to 6.5, so now I want to install a few application that I download from here but all I see is files and a setup.xml, there is no .cab file on it. Can some body tell how can I work this out.
Thank You.
What kind of files besides the xml? What were you trying to install?
Does the file you download appear as a .zip when you find all the files (like _setup.xml)? Your internet browser might be renaming the .cab extension on the downloaded files to .zip. When you're looking at the file you downloaded on your computer, does it show up with the extension .cab or .zip (does it look like a filing cabinet or a zipped folder)? If the file with _setup.xml inside it shows up as a ZIP file, rename the extension to .cab, place it on your device somewhere, and open it with File Explorer Mobile (on your device). You're likely opening the cab file one way or another
Thank you for your replys. I am trying to install (Srub) in my phone. when I extrac the files to a folder all I see is _setup.xml, 000scrub.000, 000scrub.001 and thats it. So do I have to rename one of this to .cab? if it is which one is?
my money is on the file you extracted those files from
rename that to cab
Problem Resolve, I upgrade to the later Rom (EnergyROM Leo! Landscape and Documents!) and this rom have an application named (Pocket Rar) so I just create a folder inside my Doc and launch the .cab from there. I love it!!! Thank You all for your help.
