Installing a CAB (Sorry!)

[Spears67]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to install various cab's, the ones that I have tried in the past have been one cab file. I simply transfer it to my phone and open it there.

But... some recent files appear as multiple files after I unrar them, none appear to be a traditional "cab" and I can't work out what to do with the them.

Any advice gratefully taken!

That maybe because you are extracting what you have downloaded.

What extension are they when you first download them?
Give us some examples of the full file names after extraction.

Hi Mike.

The one file for example is the Intent midlet manager, it shows _setup.xml and files such as loads of JMMFIL after I use winrar on them. Should I not be unraring them and just placing the downloaded file on the phone?

It does show as a winrar file, very confused!

In a stunning turn around of events I am an idiot, no need to extract them at all! Thanks all!

Generally a cab file will be seen by winrar/winzip as a compressed file if you open it on your pc. But normally a cab file should be copied to your phone (main memory or storage card) and run from there - no need to extract.
