How do you install cab files?

[Noghri_ViR]

I was wondering how you install cab files? Anyone know how to tell me?

Put them on the device (ActiveSync > Explore) then open up file explorer on the Pocket PC and tap on the CAB file.

Also, if you want to be able to install your CAB files onto a storage card, you can pick up CabInstl (http://www.geocities.com/s_k_s_k_s_kru/util.html) for free...

It's worth pointing out that cab files delete themselves after installing. A way around this is to make the cab file read only on your PC before you copy it to the device. It would be a bummer if you moved the cab over, installed the app, and then found out that the only copy of the cab file you had for the app has deleted itself.

You can use cabInstl (http://www.geocities.com/s_k_s_k_s_kru/)... you can choose to delete (or not) the *.cab file AND the installation folder !
