I just tried to install a cab file and it puts it on my device without asking me where to put it. Is there a way to force it to install on my storage card?

thanks in advance

What operating system are you using? Because if you're using wm5 or wm6, it gives you the option on installation directory with the exception of certain few files (system files I guess) that installs directly onto your device.

Some CAB files a restricted to be installed only on the device.
In some cases it is neccassary to limit the installation routine to the device, e.g. system files or system tools.
There is no way in altering that, but you can always install the cab file,
then copy the installed files to your storage card and uninstall the files on your device.

Yeah, usually if it doesnt ask you where you want to put it, then it HAS to go on the device for stablility reasons. Usually....

Normally it always asks me where to install a cab, but some files will always install on the device for system and stability reasons, Progs that are ran constantly are better off installed on device memory

sometimes it's on autorun and autoinstalls to the device..

if you are downloading+installing via your phone.. try using opera.. it should give you the option to save the file.. then save it and run the cab.

if it doesn't do that. then that sucks
