Hello,
is it possible to execute a cab file with a dos command?
I want to give users a bat file which executes the cab file on their windows mobile 6 smartphone. So when the phone is connected to their computer they need to click a bat file which then executes the cab file on their phone. Is this possible? please help.
Thanks!

Ok, please excuse me and this question. I'm a At&t Tilt, Treo and iPAQ user.
I'm new to this forum and I have an issue.
When I download a file, for instance: Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_Manager_11.1.7.1023.cab.zip
I open it with WinRar and Extract to my desktop
inside the new folder is _setup.xml and a bunch of different files that say stuff like 00CAB10D.004
How do I install these?
When I open _setup on my Tilt or on my PC I get a script that opens up in Internet Explorer.
Thanks a bunch,
Alan
You don't install them.
Windows Mobile installer files are in cab format
to install just copy the cab file itself to your device and run it thru your PDA's file explorer
Still confused, what do I open?
Theres around 10 files and when I open them they say something like open this with an application.
And when I open _setup it shows me a script.
unzip the ZIP file so you get a file.CAB (DON'T exctract the CAB).
drop the cap into your device and double click it..
Hello,
I want to use a batch file to copy a file to the mobile device in windows explorer. When I look in windows explorer (windows XP), and the phone is connected to the computer, it shows Mobile device in the tree. Can I use a basth file with the copy command to copy a file to the mobile device?
thanks.

Please DO NOT DOUBLE POST
Respect the rules
yes, well accidentally hit the submit button twice....
Anyway, I found the answer:
If you want to copy a file to your mobile device using a batch file, this is an example of the syntax:
copy "F:\MID\IA\mobileoffice\excel.xlt" dev:"\My Documents\excel.xlt"
Thanks for posting this, I needed just this info
hi all,
heres a silly newb question, i downloaded the TCPMP but have no idea at all of how to get this or any app working, please help, I have copied into the program files directory on hd2 and get nothing happening when opening setup, what am i doing wrong.
thanks Paul.
if it's a cab file don't open it just transfer it to the pda and run it
if it's an exe file then most likely it's an windows install program which should be run on the pc and then it use activesync to transfer the cab file inside it to the pda and then it runs it
Hello everyone can someone please tell me what cab files are?
I am trying to understand what they are because I see there are part of the SPB mobile shell download....thank you very much for any help
in a nutshell they're files that install specific programs on a windows mobile device, in more layman terms they similar to .exe's on pc
to use them, transfer the cab file to your phone and run them through your file explorer
Hello and thank you so much for your responce. Another question when downloading the SPB mobile shell is it required to download the (cab) and (exe) to get SPB installed correctly
I'm not sure about the .exe I would assume that its the updated application file, so install spb onto your device than overwrite the original exe on your phone with the one provided
Thanks so much my friend
Great forum, lots of great information. I want to flash a Spanish language ROM to an HTC Excalibur, I have read a lot of the threads related to doing this and I have downloaded most of the tools as well as the ROM.
I want to do a ROM dump of the OEM ROM just in case anything goes wrong.
1) Instructions for using bkondisk.exe says
prun bkondisk [targetdir]
I need more detailed instructions, if I run this from a command prompt in Win XP it just says prun is not a recognized as a command, program or batch file.
do I have to navigate to a directory on the phone? It just says 'mobile device' location is "my documents" which is weird because I don't see my documents anywhere.
I have copied bkondisk.exe and the tools from itsutils to the windows directory on the phone.
2) general question about all .exe files eg. typical instructions will say
Run the SDA Application Unlock.exe.
Right now the file SDA Application Unlock.exe is downloaded to my PC. Where do I copy it to on the phone before running it?
I cannot run any .exe files copied to the phone.
All files which I have copied to the phone it says "converting to mobile phone format" while copying.
Any .exe file copied thusly if I double click on it it will not execute, it just shows the file size and info.
I tried running the file SDA Application Unlock from the phone's file explorer, when I did it just said "SDA Application Unlock is not a valid Windows CE program"
Summary: basically two problems, where do I put these files to be able to run them, and why is it when I copy them to my phone I can't get them to execute?
