Having a Hard time unzipping HTC home plug in

[harknesst]

I am ignorant when it comes to tech.
I have a Tilt and i'm trying to install HTC home plug in on it. I download it and then put it on the tilt. I then try to install once its on the phone and i go to file explorer and look it up. I then click on the icons and nothing happens. I click on the setup xml file and it freezes up.
Is there anybody who can help me, i'm really wanting to put this on my phone.

Looks like you've extracted the CAB file.
You just have to copy the CAB file to your device and click it to install.

I tried again later by copying every file from what i downloaded for the plug in to on my computer and none of the programs wanted to install. I had no problem installing kaiser tweaks but this is just really irritating me. I know this may be a noob question but does the cab file look like?

no i dont think you quite understand there buddy. The file you downloaded that looks like a .zip file is actually a cab what you need to do is transfer the whole "zip" file over to your phone and open it in file explorer :D

It doesn't download as a zip, it downloads on to my computer as a bunch of seperate files. I put it into a zip file and then put it on my tilt. I'm sorry if i seem like i'm stupid, i'm just trying figure out how to do this. I downloaded from

is this a bad site to download from. If so please tell me of some other one.:confused:

just put that file into ur phone nd set it up thats it. dont zip or unzip it. you can tell if its a cab file if it has all these different files in there. or if it has ".cab" at the end of it (no quotes). the ".cab" file will look exactly like a zip file (it will have the same icon).
