about cab and exe files - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
One of the most frequently request i think is this: "Is there any way to convert cab or exe files into .xap ones?"
I haven't found anything about. Can you help me understanding if there is a possibility for this problem? I have an important app in .exe format i would install on my Samsung Omnia 7. Can you help me?
Tnx from south Italy.
Bye
Nico

Apps for wm <= 6.5 cannot be launched in wp7

but there has to be a way to translate .cab files , this OS is based partially at least on CE , and .cab files are in CE

I think the main problem is not the underlying OS, but the GUI is completely different. To put it simply, 6.5 and under had a different way of handling how apps looked and reacted on screen.

Some questions...

Hi, just want to know something about file extensions. I encounter a software with 'MIPS', 'SH3' and 'ARM'; which one should i choose so that i can install the program in Xda II ? Do i need any particular program to run those files ?
Thanx for your help
Ben...
ARM
if the extension is CAB you have to copy it to XDA and run it there
EXE's can be eithet PC or PocketPC EXE's so you'll have to try, but try first on PC and if it is a pocketpc exe it will say so.

Installed Programs after ROM Change

Hi,
newbie question:
I'm looking to change my French ROM to English on my S200 but am I wondering does it overwrite all of the installed software on it (i.e. Excel Mobile, Word Mobile, etc)?
If so, where does one reinstall these from? It is not obvious that I received a CDROM with all of that with the phone....
Thanks,
Jeff the OilGuy
P.S. I would appreciate an updated link to the Qtek200 WWE archive file that I cannot open with WinZip or WinRar..
These progs are in windows mobile. When u install a different rom, them proggies stay in. So, no need for any CD.
thanks!

This tells you how to do it!
I tried to localize WM6 in Italian using Faria Rom Kitchen and 0410.mui files extracted from emulator images. What's the simpliest way to do this?
Any suggestion? Any post?
Ciao
it is a emulator image .. this will emulate the wm6 on your pc
it probably uses different files and stuff then the wm6 rom has on your device
it translates the data from a wm6 mobile device program to something the pc
can handle and show on your pc desktop
i read somewhere on this forum that one cant replace this language dll just
like that as it is part of the operatingsystem as well..
i think u need a italian rom for this.. if there is one u know who's to first to be
having this
Seems that a french guy cooked a WM6 french rom using MUI from emulator...

Custom software for Windows Mobile 2003

I am looking for the name of the software that lets you ask where to install a cab file in Windows Mobile 2003. I remember having a program like that but it got removed after a hard reset. Can anyone tell me the name of that program?
- TKN
Anyone got any clue to the software?
Look for CabInstl by SK Software.
But will this software allow me to pick a location for lets say if I am installing a program from an exe file from my PC? I remember the software I used did something what WM5 and WM6 does by creating a Program Files directory and not creating a folder for each program on the root of the Storage Card.
