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

… 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.
