4) go to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps
5) there you'll find a list of installable cabs via active sync
6) under each application, the value ListCabFiles is the name of cab file and the value InstallDir is its position of file system.
Remember to uninstall exe after you copy/move the cab file (or delete application key) otherwise installation of cab files will start on next activesync session!!

Alot of the time you can just go to c:\program files\microsoft activesync\
and find the cab either in that location or in a folder named either the name of the program or by the company.
But that is not always the case (about 0.5% of the time) and that's when your process come in handy.

That's another way I have done this aswell.
