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

Trouble uploading some apps

I am really a newb to the cell phone thing and have found a few programs from this cool site to upload. Just got the phone today, but I can't seem to upload an Opera Browser, I had to get a beta version from there site, not sure if it is as good. Also , I cant seem to upload PocketNestor or HTC Audio etc. How do I upload these? I throw them on my tilt and the zip program recognizes the files, but there are so many. I try to run them and to no avail, nothing happens.
Where did you get the application zip files, can you post one of the zips? Maybe they care cabs if you see a lot of files in the zip?

I got the links from here....

Also, while I am at it. What do you guys recommend for an internet browser ? I keep hearing about the fire fox browser for mobile, is it any good?
The pnestor app ran ok unpacked and launched exe. Also try the cab file I attached for HTC Audio Manager. Just copy the cab file to your phone and run it from there. Let me know how it goes btw I use opera mini 4 and love it.

I dont mean to sound like an idiot but I opened up the RAR file on my PC and see a ton of files, none of them look like a CAB to me. What is the name of the file I should be sending to my phone exactly? Maybe I am not sending over the right file....

You cant see the HTC Audio Manager cab file I attached to my post? The nestor zip I downloaded has 3 files in it and only one .exe and it works.

I dont have a zip in my post. If after you download it the filename is: HTC Audio ManagerV1.02.919.713.zip change the .zip to a .cab then run it from your phone. It is not a zip file.

Ahh see I had Winzip to select to run with .CAB files, but after the uninstall of winrar , the HTC Manager worked, but not the nester for some reason.
Try this one and it is a real zip file. Connect the phone with Activesync and run the exe. There is only one exe file.

Quick question, how would one go about deleting the cab apps that you install incase you don't like the program? Do I just delete the program file and the cab from the phone?
Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and uninstall.

what file do i click to install out of the ones that are extracted coz theirs like 50 odd of them?
cheers for the quick reply buddy
you don't have to extract the cab file, just copy the cab to your device
and start file explorer - click it and the setup will start...
cabs are similar to setup.exe's on desktop computers, just for ppc
You DO NOT unpack a cab file! NO! NO! you just transfer the whole cab file to your phone by transferring it to a card or by synchronizing it using activesync! Whatever you do, don't unpack file. It will install itself once it is transferred to phone.
(sorry, was not quick enough to answer...he's beaten me to it! )

Use enclosed software which is great thanks to modaco.com
after installation, in the file manager right click on the cab file that you wan to install then you will see the menue CABviaActiveSync (device must be connected)

There goes the "How to install software on your PPC for dummies"
Cabs are installed from device.
Exe's are installed from PC.
Thanks,but i am a real dummie
If i downloaded the cab or exe file on my pc how can i install this on my device?
My device is connected via usb to my laptop.
Thanks
exe files are executed and they launch activesync and auto unpack the self extracting zip get hold of the cab file inside and copy it to the pda where it launch it installing the program
cab files are 1 downloaded directly to the pda or copied to the pda by 1 putting it in the file sync dir or dragdropping it to the pda filesystem which one access using the explore device
button in activesync
or 2 copied to the microSD card using a flash card reader which is then moved and put into the pda
cab files autoinstall when doubleclicked on in pda filesystem

Really simple question

I'm trying to create a program for windows mobile 2003/5.0/6.0 smartphone but I can't for the life of find the File Explorer. I can in 6.0 but where is it in 5.0 or 2003. Please no links to google or "jfgi" responses, I wouldn't be asking if I had yielded any success.
Thanks in advance
Have you tried looking into Total Commander. It is a 3rd party app and is a very good File Explorer for the PPC, I highly recommend it. As for the stock one, it should just be in the program folder, no?
Hope this helps.
PS If you Google Total Commander for Pocket PC, be sure to download and install the PPC version NOT the desktop version.
Nol. It isn't. I can't find the stock file explorer to save my life. Did 5.0/2003 not come with one? Am I so stupid that it's right in front of my face?
on my Jamin beofre i flashed 6.1 rom it had 5.0. I am sure the iexplore.exe was in the windows folder, 99% sure it should be there. I dont have it anymore so i can t check for you, but i have a reasonable memory
Not the internet explorer. File explorer. Or file manager. Either one. Nowhere to be found.

Lol, Ironically, he would need to search the Windows Folder from File Manager, which he doesn't have apparently
Like I suggested, download and install Total Commander. And do it with a .msi over the Activesync cable, because you won't be able to install a .cab from the storage card without a File Explorer. From there, you can then look in File Manager for its own launch program.

THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you. I wasn't sure if it didn't have a file explorer of I was just retarded. Thanks for clearing that up though.

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
