Hi,

Some programs for Windows Mobile come in .exe and not .CAB. So when I install the .exe on my computer it install the program on my smartphone (htc s730). when when i install the .exe on my computer, many folders (under program file etc.) are created. also shortcuts are created in the start on my computer. all this is really annoying. it trashes my computer.

how can i install .exe programs without all those stupid things installing on my computer? i love CAB but hate EXE

thanks

First look at the homepage of the program. Many software sompanies also releases standalone cab's.
Try extracting files from the exe installer (using WinRAR) and you may get the cab (only works with some installers).
Make a collection of your programs yourselfs. Before the installation of the program on the device is finished, the cab is copied to Windows\AppMgr\Install. So just get it from there.
