Running .cab files and Opera problem help needed - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi can anyone shed any light on a problem i seem to be having with the TP. I previously had a TytnII and it was straight forward to copy the app to my SD card using WMDC, click on the setup cab and it would install.
On the TP I copy the app to my SD Card using WMDC, click on the cab and opera browser launches with the route to the cab in the address bar and does nothing more...
Am i doing something wrong ?
has anyone else got the same problem ?
does anyone know how to resolve it ?
It's driving me mad there are some great add-ons on this forum and I cant install any of them currently....
Any help is very greatly appreciated!

Hiya, this is my first post so i'm still a bit of a noob but to install a .cab file what i do is copy it to my sd card then using "file explorer" i navigate to my sd card where the .cab file is and i tap the file and it then prompts me to install the said file.

Help! Urgent! No File Explorer

I'm running WM6 on my c2125 and I'm trying to isntall the EnglishxT9 pack but there is no file explorer on my phone?
Any ideas or ways around this?
Two solutions:
Download and install an explorrer app...
There's an app that will allow you to right click cabs on your PC and install them via activesync. I just can't remember the name; if you find it, let me know.
OK FIXED:
It's my phone but my gf's sister is using it in China. The sim card she put in was disabling the file explorer so we took it out and installed it.

i hope this doesn't sound stupid, but once i download the cab file, where am i supposed to put it in my phone, storage card, windows directory? 1 slap to myself for being such a newbie
When i download the cab file i open it with win zip which it shows the exe file as an .xml and then I transfer it to my storage card and try to run it and it tries to open opera???

It doesn't matter where you put the .cab on your device (I have all of mine to my storage card). Once it is on the device navigate to the .cab and run it, it will install to where ever it belongs.

Instead of using winrar to extract the files from the .cab file, just save the .cab file itself onto your card and run it from your phone. Hopefully this isn't a case of the noob leading the noob, but I think that's how you do it.
Please do a little leg work before posting.

Once you download a .cab file, connect your device to your pc, and copy the cab file to any location you want on your device, disconnect your device from the pc, and then on the device navigate to the folder you copied the .cab file to using the file manager, then just tap on it and follow the instructions

Help Please, How to install .cab on the HD2 for a Noob

Hi,
I am new to the forum and am feeling very computer iliterate at the moment ...
Would someone please be so kind and explain in simple terms how to install .cab files / programs on the HD2
I have been trying to install the TCPMP media player (was going to link it, but as new user am not allowed)
This is what i have done so far,
downloaded the file
unzipped into a file on my SD card in the HD2, trying to execute the "set up" file.
the only executable file is the setup.xml and it opens a web browser but thats it.
Am I missing something i need to install first to make this work?
Any help is greatly appreciated. World Cup is starting soon and I would love to install the WoldCup app as well
Thanks,

I think you unzipped the actual cab file . Just copy what you downloaded to your phone then run it.
ah yes, feeling pretty blond right now .......
thanks though
