A rar file is like a zip file, so you'll need to extract the cab from within it.
If you don't already have a rar-compatible piece of software on your PC, then WinRar and 7zip are your best bets.
If however you're looking to access the rar file on the phone itself, I'm not sure if that's possible. Sorry.
Ya i know. i have the winrar software but when i unzip it. it come out a folder and alot of file inside.

I cannot seem to be able to load that file. I can only Explore on my 8125. I can extract the .cab file to my desktop and I can copy the unextracted .cab file to the 8125 (or the extracted files) but I cannot install the program.
Any suggestions?
Copy the .cab file to your device and run it there. I don't think you need to extract it first before copying it over.
Better still here is an explanation of what you would be doing and why.

Seriously, what "patch" are you referring to? A .CAB file, a .ZIP file, a .REG file??? If you tell us what you want to do....i.e. what you want to install, then we can help you....

I don't see a RAR file in that thread, all the attachments seem to be .CAB files, but hey, maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough!!! Anyway.......
To unpack RAR files, you can use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe) on your PC to extract the contents of the RAR archive. Unpack them to any folder on your PC (e.g. C:\TEMP) and then use ActiveSync's Explore button to find the file on your PC and then copy the file across to your phone (e.g. My Documents or Storage Card).
It's quite likely that the RAR file only contains a CAB file which you can then open on your phone - use File Explorer to find the CAB file, then tap on it to install it.
You should follow any specific instructions in Schap's thread when installing the CAB file, but in any event it's probably a good idea to soft reset your phone after you've installed something.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
ok after you pointed out a cab(i feel like a idiot my bad ) i figured it out thank you very much for all your all every one thank you .
sincerely justin
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!
So, I used to have a tytn2, and played with it a bit, so I am familiar with how to put cab files on it, etc.
I'm stumped right now... because I have my new pro 2, and when I download the program, it is supposed to show up as a cab file, when I unzip it. But actually, when I unzip it, I just am seeing several files, such as one ending in xml, and then another one or few ending with 000, or 001, 002, etc.
From what I remember, when I used to put the cab files onto my tytn2, I would just unzip whatever the program was, and I could see a cab file there, which I would then transfer to my device and then run.
What in the world am I doing wrong here?
Help would be super appreciated!
problem solved
problem solved, im an idiot. for some reason my system is showing the cab file as a zip file which wants to be unzipped. so i've not realized that i've been double clicking cab files, and then winzip is showing me the insides of those files.
= )
So I take it you just changed the file name from zip to cab?
Either that or he has the file explorer on his computer set to hide known extensions. Cab files are recognized as compressed file formats by many handlers like 7zip. Which is why he might have confused the icon for a zip file if he couldn't see the file extension.

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
