Since an .EXE file is a Windows x86 program, it's pretty well impossible for you to run it on an ARM processor device. That's why the .exe can't be opened. What other kinds of files are you seeing this with?

I'm rather new to these kind of devices so please excuse the ignorance.
I have an XDA Atom Exec, I upgraded to WM6 with this site successfully.
I also would like to install HTC Home and Customizer as I like the big clock and icons, however I can't seem to find instructions on how to install them. I tried using the search function but nothing came up.
Can someone explain it to me please? Thank you.
Have you downloaded the cab files for HTC HOME and CUSTOMISER , if so just go copy them to your phone and then navigate from the file explorer of the phone to where you have pasted , and run (tap) Hope this helps.......
If you have not downloaded them ....find Ironeagles thread on this forum , to find the links
Or you can download the cab from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html

Hi, thank you for trying to help.
I think the problem is that I can't run the "setup". It opens in Internet explorer just like on my PC, I downloaded another copy from Carty's site and the same thing happens. Do I need a special program to open the setup XML file?
Thanks again..

Hey Carty, I would like to ask about your Ultimate Theft protection. If I flash a new ROM, will it still be there?

describe in steps how you did your installation. we don't usually deal with xml files for installation.

Well after downloading the zip file to my PC, I unzipped it in a created folder.
Sync'd my atom exec with the PC.
Opened File Explorer from ActiveSync, opened Program files on Atom Exec and just moved created folder with unzipped file into Atom.
After opened the created file from within the device and click "setup" with the stylus.
It opens up Internet Explorer and I can only view it as a document of some sort.
Hope that makes sense
No mate , you dont have to ZIP it (you are actually zipping the cab file which runs directly on the ppc , copy the .cab file without zipping it to your PC and then run ..)
This is what you do wrong

if you will list the contents of your zip file, that would be helpful. we don't normally copy files to program files for installation.
Thank you everyone... the problem was exactly what udayrulz was describing. I merely had to just move the file over to the device and click it, instead of unzipping, create a folder etc.
Thanks again, this plugin is much easier on the eyes!
No Problem , glad it worked out
Hey, I do feel kinda stupid asking this but I always have been able to find a .cab and put it on my SD card and load it onto my phone that way
Well, my question is, how do I put a .exe file onto my phone and install it?
I downloaded the VistaHide Battery Gauge and it dosnt come in a .cab. It came as a .exe
How do I install this onto my phone?
Or does any1 know of a working .exe to .cab program?? I am on Vista x64
Thanks
Chances are, you're supposed to run the .exe file on your computer. It should automatically start Active Sync, and when you plug in your device, it will install the app on the phone...
I've been able to find where the temp .cab file was created, I don't quite remember, probably in the c:\program files\[program name here]...
Hmm.. It tells me its not a valid win32 app when I try that.
If it's a Windows Mobile .exe then the .exe file is the program - you copy the file to your phone in Explorer on your PC (when connected in ActiveSync mode, it should appear under 'Computer' next to your drives), then find the file in File Explorer on the phone and start it there.
Yeah I got a TP, I am running WM6.5.
Soo thats all? Take the .exe drop it onto the SD card and run? I didnt think I can. Ill try it and edit the post if I got it to work.
Ok so it does run it. It does not install anything thou. Just gata click it every time to load it.
Alrighty, here we goo.
I was looking around for voice to text apps, and I came across one.. called "Tellme"
Now, I as I understand this wasn't exactly made for my LEO-usa.
BUT IT DOES WORK.
I have installed the .cab file for this app, installed it correctly the only way one could do it. Then there was a file I was told to download called NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip
Framework im guessing? But I have a problem, I don't know how to install this.. its a zip file, and when I unzip the file it breaks down the cab structure into 192380192381203981203498712348971230489 freaking FILES!
How do I install a cab file that is compressed into a zip file? if you HD2 users want to try and pickup where I left off, here you go.
do a google search for "tellme for hd2" Click the result that has tmobile's forums on it.
Scroll down the forum replies till you see words and convo's regarding TELLME. and you'll notice there is two files needed, the framework, and the cab file for the app.
I got the app installed, but the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab confuses me because its a cab file that is in a zip file..
lol, sorry if I'm sounding redundant. but damn.
Heres the two files, I'll attach them below.

no worries. just download the .zip file, then unzip it into the the file "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab". next copy this file and the tellme.cab file into your phone. run the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab first and let it install. then follow by the tellme.cab. you're done.
yea, you have unzipped it twice, because winzip/winrar also see the .cab as a cabinet, or zip file, and opens it, when in fact that whole file is the windows mobile installer. extract the single cab file to desktop, copy it to your phone, click it in explorer on your phone.
Alrighty, I tried what you said..
I got the .cab file for the NET stuff on the device, attempted installation and it failed at the end, told me to close out of apps, and clear device space?
I have a little short of 1gb of Device memory left, and task manager did not have anything running.
Is it perhaps the ROM im using? I'm using the Energy ROM.
bumppp.
Have Thunderbolt users been able to get RAR files to download properly to where you can unzip them? Does "Download All Files" work with Android for performing the unzip?
i heard androzip on the market does rar files and when i checked it out on market it said it does but i never used it

I have been using UNRAR Pro because it supports encrypted RAR files.
unrar pro is amazing for this thats for sure
if you want a little project to try, you could compile 7zip for android and run it via the terminal emulator on the phone. http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
The guys that make winrar do make a version for arm chips, but after trying it out, I don't think it's compatiable with the cpu we have. Oddly enough, it also doesn't have a .exe extension on it, so I am unsure what it's exactly for really as far as targeted OS. They also stopped making it after version 3.xx, so I assume it might have been for symbian phones.
Thanks all
Yes AndroZip works.

I agree. I have used this app and it works great!
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I DL'ed ODIN 1.85 to flash CWM to my tab but as soon as I open it with 7z it closes right away. I've tried it on my toshiba netbook as well as my new HP laptop and I get the same result.
Am I missing something?
sidenote: I'm pretty familar with ODIN as I use it with my captivate (and that version opens fine on my netbook). I just can't get this to stay open
Bump.
Nothing??
Why do you open odin with 7z?
- unzip the folder & run as Administrator
open & run programs like that from 7zip is like playing with fire
I had the same issue. I unzipped the folder and madr sure all the files stay in the same folder. This should fix it.
it might have an error in korean, it might be missing the ini file if this comes up. launch with the ini in the same folder and it should be ok
It worked on my laptop you may need to uninstall the old version/drivers and reinstall.
