It allows you to specify the install location for CAB files - very useful if you want to put them onto a memory card.<br /><br />"Makes installation in the chosen place, instead of by default, as standard installer...At start without parameter offers to choose .cab a file to choose / enter (if folders does not exist, it is possible either to create it or to enter a way to it and it will be created automatically) a folder. Then installation by standard means is made. At start with parameter (the way and a name of a cab-file) at once is asked a way of assignment. The program it is possible associate with cab-files instead of wceload.exe." Source: Julio Meneses

I'm luvin' it! Dyn-o-mite! One caveat; I'd avoid the 'associate with' thing. Certain programs really need to run from \Windows to work (at least without extensive registry tinkering), so keeping wceload as an option is good. Of course, one could always re-associate CAB files...

One step closer to being Activesync-free! This rocks-- not that I've installed it yet.

I wonder if you run it's cab if you can choose where to install it. Now that's irony. :)
