EXE Install to CAB Install

[jdmba]

Greets,

If a piece of software is packaged so that its installation onto the Tilt is via an EXE which must be run from the PC, is there a way to take that EXE, extract its contents, and turn it into a CAB?

Putting aside the fact that the EXE leaves vestiges of itself on the PC (including the Start Menu [sometimes], and the Control Panel [always]), a CAB would also allow installation where the PC is on "limited privileges". The CAB is just more versatile.

Thanks!

There is always a CAB file. The EXE pushes it onto the device.

Often the installation directory of the PC will have the CAB in there, or do a search by date/type DURING the install on both your phone and your device for ".cab" files and you should find it.

sometimes they temporarily live in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync

I think there is a queue dir on the phone too, but I can't remember what it is.
