Im pretty new here and just got my BA not tooo long ago...I used to be a trreo user now im hooked on my BA.
I see alot of software that comes in a form of a cab file...does anyone know how I can load that software on my BA? thanks alot!
hey mate and welcome!
if you put the cab file in your pc folder; you'll see that the description is "zip file"....that's because it's the only format microsoft recognizes...in a way its also true as the cab file is a compiled program ready for installation. what you do is DON'T unzip the file in your pc; rather cut/copy and paste it directly in your ba (via activesync or in your sd card). put it in a folder that's easy to find; say "my documents...personal" (or you can make your own folder to put in cab files). use your ba's file explorer and go to the folder...from there double click (via stylus) on the cab file and it will automatically install itself. btw, if you copied the cab file in your sd card you can also execute the installation there....no need to paste it in your my documents area.
if you're using wm2005; upon execution the unit will ask you if you want to install it in the sd card or internal memory....that's really up to you depending on the size of the file you're installing.
hope that helps

thanks alot Robson.
Ive always looked past cab file programs b/c i couldnt install it. I hope this thread helps other newbies too. I searched and couldnt find an answer.
is there anyway that can install cab files direct from pc to ppc?
sorry for the late response; was in china for a week.
unfortunately, no. i don't think there's a way to install cab files via pc. if you do unzip a cab file; you'll notice that the files are something like:
0000124
009890
or something like that....can be as many as 20 lines of code...but scanning through the entire zip will not give you any .exe files which can be executed via pc. if you have a card reader installed on your laptop, simply copy and paste the cab file on your sd and from there install via your ppc
hope that helps

hi,
can any1 help me edit the config .txt file to make my own extended rom ??
1.Iv noticed the cabfile names in config.txt
2.how do i make these apps automatically install to storage card ??
because they normally ask me to accept the certificate + then choose if i have to install the program in main memory or storage card
how can I do these two steps automatically ??
Hello everyone, here is my question there is a couple of cool apps but they are .zip folders and when i download them and put them in my phone it says "there is no application associated with this file. run the app first and then open this file inside the application". But i don't know how to run the app.
Please help me, it is driving me crazy!
Thank you
Perhaps if you could be more specific as to what kind of applications you are trying to install. You may need to install a driver in order to open said apps.
did you save the file to your storage card? if you did then open it up there first, then run it on your phone.
Did you download a .cab or a .zip file to begin with?? Sometimes your PC will identify a .cab file as a 'Compressed (Zipped) Folder'. (1) If you downloaded a .cab file, then just move it to your device or storage card, then execute it from there. (2) If you downloaded a .zip file, then you will need to extract (unzip) the file on the PC first, if it contains a .cab file then follow step 1 above.
Sometimes program files are zipped up for transport (e.g. an RUU packages), those files need to be extracted on the PC and then executed from there. Hope this helps!

Have you flashed hardSPL?
i thought i did
i have had to right cause im running custom ROM now
hit bbotlegger SPL-0.85.olinex
what is your problem exactly? your first post isn't very descriptive
i keepp getting 0068002
once i downloaded the NEW ROM on desktop i renamed it rhodimg.nbh. put that on my FAT32 SD card main mem just cleked and dragged took a lil time says 149 mb then it was done copying. so i took trhe SD and placed in cell phone hit tri color so it could pick it up but it just stated those #s and wont let me boot up the new ROM from the sd.........
149MB? that's quite small for the rhodium, was it a *.RAR or *.7Z? if so, those are zip archives, you need something like 7ZIP to open them

Could it be its not in capitals like RHODIMG.nbh not rhodimg.nbh?

Nah, it's not case sensitive
Try a different MicroSD card, preferably a different brand. I remember with the Kaiser, some MicroSD card models from specific manufacturers (I believe Kingston) would just not flash from MicroSD.
It happens when you have these hidden files on the storage card, for example a file name .Rhodium.nbh exist on the storage, then Rhodium.NBH wont be executed.
If you check "Show all files", you'll see alot of these fragmented files starting with a ( . ), so just delete them and flash away.
THANKS @ EVERY1 for the HELP

That's a RAR file, not a cab. Besides, cab files don't contain ROMs, and won't flash from SD. It sounds like you already have a RAR extracting utility, but if you don't, download any RAR extracting utility (I use 7-zip and Universal Extractor). Then, rename the file extension of the file you downloaded back to .rar (so its icon is 3 books with a belt again), extract it, and rename the nbh file inside the RAR to rhodimg.nbh, if it isn't called that already. Take the NBH file and place it on your sd card, and all will be well
D Bo/ AWSOME !!
i download Universal Extractor

hi,
I tried to search about my issue , but no use at all.
at first of all i would like to mention that I`m a newbie (very newbie) so please try to help me with my problem.
my problem is that when i unzip any .cab file , i got the setup file in it as XML document , and when i transfer it to my storage card , it`s turn (the setup file) to a web page , so when i click it to setup the program , an opera page opened immediately with a browser address ( file:// localhost/storage%20card/core%20player/_SETUP.XML) in other programs it might be _setup.cab.xml at the end.
so can any one help me what to do to solve this problem , and can install a program in my mobi windows.
thanx in advance.
YOU install the .cab file ,don't extract the contents of it!
