Guest Butler Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have some smartphone software but it is in .exe format and my phone says it is an invalid format. Is there any way I can convert it into a .CAB file so it will install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi. :) Kindly check this post regarding SFX and CAB (post #4) http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=254044 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nexxexium Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Or maybe you just have to connect your smartphone to your pc and connect with activesync. Hereafter start the exe from your pc not your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunecarera Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 That's right. For a .CAB file: put it on your device and start it from your device. For a .exe file: Connect your phone with your pc through activesync and install it from your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevinsephiroth Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Or an EXE could be the executable , to be launch directly from the phone, like emulators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butler Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 When i sync my phone with the PC and put the .exe file on the phone it still doesnt allow me to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paholman Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 (edited) When i sync my phone with the PC and put the .exe file on the phone it still doesnt allow me to install it. What happens when you run the .exe file from your PC? Edited June 25, 2007 by paholman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butler Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 What happens when you run the .exe file from your PC? If I save it to my desktop I can run it but how can I install it to my phone from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bunecarera Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 through Activesync. Just give it a go. It'll work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butler Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 through Activesync. Just give it a go. It'll work... Ah it is working now, I guess the sync will only allow compatible files to be installed. When it comes to the on screen instructions it says file not allowed :) Do you know any file encryption freeware that will work with the s710?

Is your device "Application Unlocked" and what .exe file are you trying to install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wear your subtitle like a charm 'newbie' :P Search a little before asking those simple questions.... A .EXE is an executable either to be launch on the phone (Doom, GNUBoy... ) OR to be exectuted on the Desktop PC. First you need your device to be activesync-ed , then you double clic on the EXE. Then , it will decompress the softwares and install them on the phone on the sub folders .... and on the start menu. ... It's exactly the same with CAB files, but CAB are to be executed on the phone.... As one said, that's really sad. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
