We have many comments recently targeted on one question - How to install CAB files on Pocket PC? I am writing this simple guide with the idea to help you
installing and using all those great applications you will ever want.
First of all you need to find and download the program you want to install. I will use
an application called PDAStatus, which shows the status of your device on today screen.
When the download process is complete you need to copy the CAB file and paste it somewhere on your device, I personally recommend to do this at the Storage Card.
Note that some applications are zipped so you need to unarchive them to have the CAB file. Now you need to open pocket pc's File Explorer, located into the Programs. Browse the storage card or the location you used to copy the CAB. When you select
and run it, a windows will appear, which asks you to Choose a location to install the program. It can be your Device or the Storage Card, so
select your choice and click below on Install. The process after that is fully automated and after the installation is complete it will show you confirmation screen.
This is all you need to do to install CAB files to your Windows Mobile Pocket PC device. Below is video on which you can see how I installed PDAStatus on
my HTC TyTN.
Comments oni have rarwin and everytime i try to extract it i dnt get any CAB files they never commethrough as CAB files...do i need a special software to install CAB files?
@Dean: You have to be sure the file you download is in cab format (.cab extension). If so, as per the instructions given above, you simply open the cab file using File Explorer (on your device). That is of course assuming you downloaded the file to your device directly from the Internet. If not, copy the file from your PC to your device using ActiveSync's "Explore" button
