Hi,

I used the search functionality, but didn't find anything useful at all. I want to create some cabs out of an oem package. I have found some people saying that I need WinCE Cab Manager, but as far as I see I will have to create the cabs manually, which will be much work in most cases.

Isn't there an automatic solution, because normally all information you need to create a cab is available in the oem package, isn't it?

So I'm asking for any advices.

Best regards

Try searching this forum using the link below. There are lot of different ways to create cab files. Personally unless you buy a commertial software, its takes long time to convert an OEM to cab if it has lot of files in it.

What excactly should I search for? The only thread I could find was this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295351) one, where they are talking about WinCE Cab Manager.

I have downloaded this application, but I don't see a way to create a cab file automatically. There are some programs, which create a oem package out of an cab file, isn't here something doing it the other way round?

i don't think there is a way to do it automatically.
ATHER90 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=494193) is on the Q&A Team i'm sure he would be happy to teach you how to do it if you are interested. Just shoot him a pm.

WinCEcabmanager doesn't offer an automatic solution, nor does any other application that i know of. but you CAN import info files to WCCM which makes everything easier.
