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.

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.
You could download the .CAB directly on you device and launch it from there.
… 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.
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
Cool, thanx for the write-up! =)
