Yea, run them on the PC first. Its faster that way. Then just sort them into folders, an install.
If you don't want to install the program on your PC using the EXE, use this:http://legroom.net/software/uniextract
Once installed, you can right-click on an exe installer, select extract here, and it will remove the .cab installers from the file. That way you can put it on your phone.
