CABviaActiveSync

CABviaActiveSync v1.5 is a very useful application which adds a shortcut in windows context menu for sending a .cab file to your pocket pc through activesync. This tool will save you couple of clicks and will make your life easier !

Here is how it work:

CvAS installs on your desktop PC, and adds a right-click context menu for CAB files
When you click the menu, the CAB is automatically parsed, copied to your ActiveSync directory, and a regular ActiveSync install is initiated
When the install is complete, the CAB file stays in the ActiveSync directory, meaning you can un/reinstall in future, without having to archive the CAB away somewhere.

Ah, My bad... You could extract the cab from the exe : http://www.saijogeorge.com/2008/10/23/how-to-ex...

... I was talking about executables. Some programs only come in executable form (no cab) and as a result must be installed with ActiveSync. If there was a way around that, that would be great.

You could download the .CAB directly on you device and launch it from there.

This is kinda neat, but not very practical. It would be a million times better if it allowed executables to be installed directly from the PDA instead of through ActiveSync. I think this is what people really want.
