I know it's not a problem of the wrong format because it's a .CAB file and I'm getting the files from windows website. Any Hints?
Both WM Smartphone version and WM Professional version use .cabs to install programs. Make sure you have the correct version.

Also, as you probably already know, cabs are installed from the device, rather than the pc. So, if you download it to your pc, transfer it to your Omnia before activating (selecting) the cab to install. Hope this helps!
