Hi. My PDA connector is broken, so I cannot install an app from the PC. I'm thinking of "extracting" files from a .exe setup file and turn it into a .cab file so I can place it in my MMC and install it from the phone. Is this possible?
Thanks.
many installs are selfextracting zips and renaming it from .exe to zip make it possible to
copy out the cab
many installs also put the cabs in a dir on the pc so one can do a search for it
I'm going to try that. Thanks mate!
The setup.exe installer will copy the cab file to a directory in
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile
or to the installation directory, usually:
C:\Program Files\<name-of-program-installed>
Copy the appropriate cab file to your MMC card.
Alternatively, use a program like UniExtract which will extract files from installshield installers and similar programs.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
The installer, unfortunately, wasn't similar to .zip and .rar but rather VISE. I also tried innounp but stupid me, it won't work.
Thank you. THANKS A LOT!!

Clean windows folder possible ?
I'm trying to cook my own rom but when I add an EXT module, all files are in Windows directory and the app.dat file only copy them in the app directory.

All files go into \windows. The first thing you need to ask is this: do I need to copy the file into another directory, like \program files? A lot of apps work just fine if you leave all of the files in \windows. The files are going to be in \windows in one form or another, so you save space by just running the app out of \windows. You need to change shortcut paths and sometimes registry key paths to get this to work, but in my experience, it works about 95% of the time. Usually, if you've got a multi-component application (several files besides just the .exe), the .exe will search for other files it needs to run in the same directory that the .exe is located in, so you're good to go if everything is in \windows. Some apps have sub-folders, so you'll have to get that folder and its contents into \windows. The best way to do this is with a .cab file or a zip file during customization (using a mortscript for the latter). Zip files are nice, because they install really quickly and are easy to make and edit.
Anyway, if you need to get files into another directory for whatever reason, I'd say that the app.dat method is probably the worst, because if you have multiple files, then you increase the file count in \windows by that amount. Put them in a zip file or a cab file, and then you'll reduce the file count to 1 for the particular package. You will also compress the files, and save some rom storage space.
You can also look into \extendir for another method to clean up the \windows directory.
You do need to be careful with some apps if they have an .ini file or an .xml file or something similar that is basically a settings file. It's usually better if these files aren't read only, so you may need to figure a way to copy the file into the \windows directory.
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.
Hello,
I have accidently deleted all the files from the PanelManager folder on my X1.
Now when i press the X Panel button, i get an error message saying the file doesnt exist.
Can anyone with an X1 please help me by uploading all the files inside PanelManager folder that resides in Program Files on the device?
Thanks
Hey,
I would like to help you.
Which folder you want me to upload? Where can I find it?
PanelManager folder
Hey,
Its the PanelManager folder. If you go into the file explorer, its under My device storage. Inside Program Files there is a folder called PanelManager. I need all the files that appear in this folder. If you could add them to a zip file and upload them, it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Neil

Hello i Need the same help
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.
