I managed to install PocketRAR and thanks to HouMing File Explorer Extension associate rar and zip files to it, but now I've flashed with a new ROM and I can't do the same process, it doesn't work anymore.
Any solution for compressed files? HVGA skin for Pocket RAR maybe?

I am looking for a tool to compress installation files, so they decompress and execute after, better if I can make the compressed auto-install files in a current PC.

SFX files
I found, between others, CrunchIT, to make Self-eXtract-Files (SFX), but as my original file is a .CAB, which is also a auto-executable, I can`t convert it into a SFX file.
I wan't to add an executable to my ROM (i know how to add *.cab) how should i do that ?
So in my case i want to add PocketNav.exe and it should be installed into the following directory: \Windows\StartUp\
Is it possible to do that or is there a way to make a cab file from it wich will install it into the correct folder

Me too
I too would like to know this. I have spb pocket plus and some other software which i would like to load into ext ROm. All you clever people out there please help. :?
if they are activesync install exe files they are bin files following the x86 cpu instructionset which of cause a pocketpc cant execute
if they are exe activesync install files you can often rename them to zip and copy out the cab files for your cpu which is arm

We know the difference between a windows file and a PPC file.
In our case we are talking about a plane PPC file.

May sound dumb to some of you but i do not understand on how to install a patch please help have searched thank you
Put it over the eye that hurts??
Seriously, what "patch" are you referring to? A .CAB file, a .ZIP file, a .REG file??? If you tell us what you want to do....i.e. what you want to install, then we can help you....
i have schaps 4.30 and he put up a patch but its in rar form but i cant unzip on my phone for some reason and if i try unzip before i put it on i dont know where to put it either way heres there forum its on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355774
thanks
I don't see a RAR file in that thread, all the attachments seem to be .CAB files, but hey, maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough!!! Anyway.......
To unpack RAR files, you can use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe) on your PC to extract the contents of the RAR archive. Unpack them to any folder on your PC (e.g. C:\TEMP) and then use ActiveSync's Explore button to find the file on your PC and then copy the file across to your phone (e.g. My Documents or Storage Card).
It's quite likely that the RAR file only contains a CAB file which you can then open on your phone - use File Explorer to find the CAB file, then tap on it to install it.
You should follow any specific instructions in Schap's thread when installing the CAB file, but in any event it's probably a good idea to soft reset your phone after you've installed something.
Hope this helps,

ok after you pointed out a cab(i feel like a idiot my bad ) i figured it out thank you very much for all your all every one thank you .

i just bought HTC Touch HD. I download some app from here but is rar file not cab file. Anyone can teach me how to convert the rar to cab file or not? or teach me how to put the rar to my touch hd. One more Question i cannot connect to youtube when i click the icon is loading after few second is show connection fails. Can anyone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
A rar file is like a zip file, so you'll need to extract the cab from within it.
If you don't already have a rar-compatible piece of software on your PC, then WinRar and 7zip are your best bets.
If however you're looking to access the rar file on the phone itself, I'm not sure if that's possible. Sorry.
Ya i know. i have the winrar software but when i unzip it. it come out a folder and alot of file inside.
So, I used to have a tytn2, and played with it a bit, so I am familiar with how to put cab files on it, etc.
I'm stumped right now... because I have my new pro 2, and when I download the program, it is supposed to show up as a cab file, when I unzip it. But actually, when I unzip it, I just am seeing several files, such as one ending in xml, and then another one or few ending with 000, or 001, 002, etc.
From what I remember, when I used to put the cab files onto my tytn2, I would just unzip whatever the program was, and I could see a cab file there, which I would then transfer to my device and then run.
What in the world am I doing wrong here?
Help would be super appreciated!
problem solved
problem solved, im an idiot. for some reason my system is showing the cab file as a zip file which wants to be unzipped. so i've not realized that i've been double clicking cab files, and then winzip is showing me the insides of those files.
= )
So I take it you just changed the file name from zip to cab?
Either that or he has the file explorer on his computer set to hide known extensions. Cab files are recognized as compressed file formats by many handlers like 7zip. Which is why he might have confused the icon for a zip file if he couldn't see the file extension.
