Cab file location in Windows Vista
Hello all,
I've got a new laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate and I would like to know where I can find the cab files after installing a program using the Windows Mobile Device Center.
For example, I just ran the installer (not .cab file) from Windows for Franson GPSGate using the WMDC. I was unable to install this app to my Verizon XV6700 due to some problem with the digital signature. It was already installed on my device but I was trying to update the app 'over the top' of the old one.
Since I always like to have the .cab file on my storage card, I looked in the Franson folder in Program Files and the .cab is not in there. I have hidden files/folder enabled and tried to browse the Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync folder but don't see anything there either. It seems like this was the location in XP where I would find the files.
Actually, I wasn't able to even browse the Documents and Settings\My Username folder in Vista until I took ownership of the folder and all subfolders which was a pain.
Does anyone have some insight as to where these .cab files are extracted when installing apps within Vista?
Thanks in advance for any help!
