Need to extract a Cab from a WM5 ROM - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Any idea?
Did a quick searc and didn't find it...

Get cab file. Open with winzip. Look in _setup.xml file for the filenmes. extract all using winzip and rename according to the filenames in the _setup.xml.
Easy peasy.
Psi

if the rom is an exe, how extract the Cab?

There are no CAB-Files in a ROM.
Only in a Extended-ROM.

I've extracted the cab from the exe, and extracted a nbf file from it... But now I don't know how to continue...

Need Help Extracting a CAB File From A .EXE File

I wanted to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file. How can I do it? I wanted to extract the CAB file for easy installation without running it from my computer.

Very easy,
launch the executable from your pc without the ppc connected to the pc.
Activesync will be launched, it will try to connect to the device and will say that the application will be installed next time the ppc will connect.
Go into c:\program files\microsoft activesync\[application]
you will get your cab file
Then
go into registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect
and remove the value : CEAppMgr
Cheers,

Since the executable is a PC application, I don't think you can except if you know exactly where the cab file begins and ends in the setup. I think the simpliest thing to do is what I mentioned.

CAB extract
you can also extract CAB files from EXEs using WinRar.
Just right click on the A.EXE file and you will see *extract* (if you don't see this option, then you can't extract the file - I had this problem with MS Voice Command 1.6)
Once the A.EXE has been extracted to your desired folder on the desktop PC, you can then find the CAB file and simply copy this to your PPC (without having to use anything like ActiveSync or installing any software on to your desktop PC). Run the CAB file on your PPC to install.
I hope the above helps!

or you can run the exe with the ppc connected ,make sure that you have a sd card in the device.the promp comes up asking were you want to install the app, do nothing,got start, file explorer and browse to; windows\appmgr [in the ppc] and your cab file will be there in a folder,simply copy to another location.then go back and cancel the installation
just a thought, the ppc application might be installed in its own folder in program files not necessarily the activesync folder so u'd find the cab file there..
I always extract files from a CAB file with WinCE CAB Manager to make the installation easier and make the application install to Whichever folder I want.But some files of the applications must be put into some folders,such as \Windows,\Appliction Data.And I will know what the installaion do to the registry.
I found it impossible to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file on PPC,and extract files from a CAB file without installation on PPC is also impossible.

Just use the cabextract utility.
I can not extract EXE file by using cabextract
I try cabextract tool, but this tool only extract .CAB file, it can not use for extract .EXE file. What I want is a tool in linux can extract an windows .EXE install file to .CAB file so that I can install ppc software directly from my linux machine. Any suggestion? THX advanced.
extract PPC CAB in Linux
It's not a 100% pure Linux solution, but this works for me. I have tested this on my Edgy Eft Ubuntu box. I don't know if it will be the same on Fedora, but it should be similar.
Get the latest Wine install from winehq.org. I got rid of my old .wine folder to make sure I was using a clean install, so you shouldn't have to do any additional installs or tweaks to wine.
Disclaimer: Don't expect this to work for actual syncing, only for getting the CAB files.
Get a copy of ActiveSync and install it under wine. I tried versions 3.0 and 4.2 and both worked. The version 4.2 installer failed at the end trying to update some USB drivers, but the files were all there and worked.
Again using wine, run your PPC installer program that you want the CAB from.
Like earlier posts in this thread pointed out, the CABS should end up in a subfolder of C:/Program Files/Microsoft ActiveSync. On my system, these are under my .wine/drive_c folder.
Good luck,
Andy
thank you Andy,
I will try in my fedora and post the result as well.
OK, I saw cab files it in ./wine/Microsoft Activesync folder. Thank again Andy.
extract .cab in linux -
synce.org , orange tools
gerisgame -- I'm glad it worked for you! If you don't mind compiling from source, the Orange tools kevit specified work without all the Wine/ActiveSync business.
kevit -- Thanks for your comment about Orange tools. I had been over at the synce.org but never saw them.
Once I had the right libraries, they built cleanly and work like a charm on the files I've tried.
Andy
Orange and synce
Thank you both Kevit and Andy, I will try that way. If it works, it is more straight and better way.
I try Orange tool in my fedora laptop, but it does not work, belows is my command line:
[[email protected] Pocket2005]$ orange pqdvd.exe
-------
0 files
I can not find a documentation for orange tool, pls help. THX
I thought that pqDVD was a regular desktop application.
If so, orange tools probably won't help. pqDVD may install and run under wine, though.
