Hi All,
Thanks for reading. Appreciate any help.
I need to install some files on my XDA ii and all of these are CAB files. I have read a number of posts which indicate I should put it onto my mobile and then install. So I have tried the following...
I download the file (for this example ArcSoft_MMS_Composer is what I'm trying to use) and extract it to my desktop (instead of copying it).
Then whether I put I try to use it from the desktop OR put it directly onto my mobile there is no exe file. When I click setup it just shows a page of html.
PLEASE PLEASE tell me how to install these CAB files? All i get is xml files which show html. Do I need to use a program? if so which? Or is it something else I'm not doing...
Im using windows vista, my mobile is xda ii and it has a wm6.1 rom.

Just click on the cab file to install. You must put the cab on your device. there is no exe inside the cab file. The cab will look like a zip or rar file but it is not - it is a cab. once on your device just click and follow instructions.
you shoudn't extract the file
copy the .cab file to your XDA ii then use the file explorer to open it
and follow the instructions
AHHHHHHHHH
Thank you. Now I understand.
You are all brilliant. I'm almost tempted to write a noob tutorial on how to unlock, flash a rom from my point of view where I knew nothing...
Is there any point? It would probably get lost in the threads.
Thank you all.

Is it possible to convert a Windows setup file to a PPC CAB file so you can place it in your extended rom?
If so, how do you do it?
Thanks

I don't think it's possible.
BUT.. after you installed a certain software on your device, go to the installation directory on your desktop computer. you can find there the relevant cabs in 99% of the installations.
choose any cab file, which contain the letters "ARM" assuming you are using one of the phone enabled devices.
thanks I didn't think of that.
Well that more or less answers my question anyway

sure it's possible rename the exe file to zip and copy out the arm cab file
I connect universal to my pc w/ usb and want to rename/delete files in windows directory. It told me some pemmisson error. How can I do such things?
I can create new folds in the directory.
Seems a new bie question. thanks in advance.
Files in the windows folder are generally ROM files, so you can't really delete them, they'll just come back from ROM when you reset.
So - you can use the old technique, normally, of using something like gsfinder, rename the file you want to change, eg ctlpnl.exe to ctlpnl.orig, then copy a new file into the windows folder and rename it to ctlpnl.exe.
That works well with some files, but not all.
To do some heavy duty modding, you would have to make your own rom. Find RomTools by Mamaich.

But I can't rename any files belong to original rom. When I use GSfinder to rename the file, it also reported "Cannot rename file.". I checked the property of the file, it has "rom" property and the checkbox of "rom" property is gray.
How?
I attached a jpg file when I want to change the name of "smartdialing.dll".
My device info:
ROM: 1.30.111 WWE
Radio: 1.11.00
Protocal: 42.45.P8
ExtROM: 1.30.230 WWE
T-Mobile Germany version
As you say, if it's a proper ROM file that wants to be stubborn (it may already be in use. Try closing the app using a good task manager first) then your other option could just be burning a new rom.
Why do you need to rename it?

It seems that's not the reason. I can't even rename a htm or gif file with ROM property.
I want to localize smartdialing.dll.
Thanks for your quick response!
I think there's already a tutorial/solution to a localized smartdialler.
Can't remember the poster, check Buzz's site.
V
yes, I want to create a Chinese version of smartdialing based on their tutorial.
However, I tried to replace the original dll with my modified one, and FAILED. That's really troublesome. Seems nobody else has the same issue as mine.
Got a simular problem.
I'm trying to install OZVGA and according to the instructions you need to copy some files (Backlight.exe Camera.exe etc.) into the windows directory, but i'm not allowed to do so. Files are read only or in use.
Some suggestions?
Use TotalCommander.

useless.
Any one knows why?
I had the ozvga issue. I installed the extended ROM unlocker (from buzzdev.net I think) and then it let me replace them.
Hope this helps.
Coincidentally, I've just upgraded to the latest T-Mobile ROM and need to re-apply ozvga but I can't find the files/instructions anymore. Got a link handy?
I downloaded xml applications from the net but they can not be installed. Can u help me, please! I need some software?
you are not supposed to extract the contents of the cab file that you downloaded, copy the cab file over to the phone and execute it from the phone
k, thx! i solved it!
I am new user of Window mobile and recently got Xperia. I have a question that how to install these cab files. I mean to say for some software i have exe/ cab files which i run and progrm are installed. But i downloaded alot of applications from this website and when i unzip them i can only found files with extension .001 / .002 / .003 , so how they are installed?
thanks Jade
For getting the original file you must rejoin them as they're parts of it. The .001, 002, 00x parts can be joined back with this (HJSplit 2.4)free software.
Joy!

Don't extract .cab files, but just copy them to your pda and execute (find them with explorer and tap) from there. Then it will ask you where to install, to the device or storage card.
BTW, have you seen/searched for this? It might help you .....

Sure....what exact files are you downloading? You should be able to tell when you're downloading them that the extension is ".cab"...as long as that's the case, just put the .cab file on your phone and click it to run from there.

in other words. Don't unpack the "cab" files on your computer or phone... just transfer the entire "cab" package to your sd card or phone. Use file explorer (on your phone) to navigate where you have saved the cab files. Select the cab file and the installation will begin
aaand this too just for the noobness haha.. if you've d/l'd a .cab to your pc and have winrar installed on it.. winrar will show the .cab's icon as that little set of books like a .rar file.. they're both archives, but the .cab doesn't need unpacking.. it's like a windows mobile version of a .exe for the pc.. just saying, i did that too at 1st.. a loong time ago.. haha
just copy and paste to your phone storage and you are all set
