Any explanation for this? is there a program or setting I need to have?
I put exe files all over this little baby and they do nada. which I don't understand why more people dont just make cab files.
bump!!! Just wanted to know because this is bugging me
try .cab files.
Some EXE files are ment to be installed over active sync, cabs work best for installing the files on the phone itself.
Try that.

I tottally agree but the problem is that people are saying to add it onto the phone. So just to be sure the the exe wont' execute on phone... I need to have active sync open and then run the proggy on my PC?
My Touch Pro wouldn't execute cabs until I reset it the first time.

I think you're asking how to load an .exe file (program/installation file) onto your device? If so, you'll need to just run it from your computer.
Hopefully that's what you meant...
You cant run an application that is program only to PC into a PPC.
Some .NET application will run on both PC and PPC but their functions will be different..

Well, I assumed he was talking about an .exe installer for a ppc program that needs to be run from the pc.
so i need a exe installer?

You need to be clear about what you're trying to do!
Can someone explain this puzzle... sorry if this is a dumb question.
After flashin my htc wiz with wm6 I cant install alot of my old cab files. I transfer them to the phone and it see's the files as window files but I cant run them.

Hi and welcome to the Forum,
have you tried to flash the Rom again, maybe that will help.
I tried searching, found this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.
My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.
Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs ..
There is a way.
run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.
Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?
I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!
if u got activesync installed on your PC, run the exe files and find the .cab files on program files/microsoft activesync folder
semoga berhasil
Thank you. Terima Kasih Will give it a try
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..
WinRAR (rarlabs.com) is free and will extract most files from EXE installer archives. However, if WinRAR won't then UniversalExtractor will. You can search for it on google and download a demo.
THANK YOU
Thanks to all who has responded.
I managed to find the CAB files under PC's respective folders (Some are under Active Sync, some like Holux, created it's own folder). Tested some of the CABs found there and it worked. Now I'm a happy camper, got all of the CABS that I need (especially GPRS Monitor )
Last question:

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

I always do this to extract cab files from a exe installer and most of the time the cab file can be found at windows/appmgr/install
very useful and a serious time saver
Sticky or Wiki?
Thanks again for responses. I'm able to get what I need and believe this can be put as part of FAQ, Wiki or Sticky?
Sticky no.. but i will add it to the guides thread soon..
i've tried all the 10.000 methods in all of the other "how to cab from exe", but none of them seemed to work, now im just curious if maybe its not possible in the type of exe that im installing. What im trying to get the cab of is the medical programs from skyscape. When installing from my computer, it asks for some stuff, like if i agree with the terms etc. etc., and the it also asks what kind of install i want to do.. i select "Trail" and then it proceeds on installing it to my device.. but i cant get the cab anywhere!
does any of you deal with those skyscape files? or otherwise if any of you is interested/bored to give it a try, www.skyscape.com, download any file as a test-drive (trail) and install it as a trail also.. it would help me a lot since im gonna be traveling and i dont drag my computer along all the time, and i want to be able to install my programs in case of i reset my phone.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Could try this Universal Extractor
If you install with ActiveSync, it stores the .cab files that its extracting from the .exe file. So while you're running the executable file, installing the software, go to C:\Users\*YourSySName*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync and see if it is there.
Who? if anyone could make this program install (and maybe even work) for me? It's a program for my car.

K, its to big to add here, it's 20mb and even "rar'd" it's 15mb
Sorry, I don't understand the question. Are you saying you want to run a Windows .exe on your phone ?
Exactly right!
Not possible.
Dave
Not as it is, but I am sure there is/are people on here that can "open" up the .exe and make it so it can install and run on the phone.

I very much doubt it, the code is compiled to run on x86 / x64 processors, not the ARM one on the TP2.
.Net apps might be possible to do, but unlikely.
Dave
the guy is probably talking about an installer. you should be able to extract the cab file from the exe with Winrar or something and then copy on the device and install from there.

...or this.
Are you talking about Windows XP (for example) programs or WinMo apps packaged as exe not a cab?

doesn't matter - if it's written for windows xp/vista/7 etc. it won't run on windows mobile. about the only thing they have in common is the work windows in the name.
