Could you tell me step by step what I should do? Again, sorry if this question is really nooby.
You put the .cab on your storage card, or you installed the program there? It absolutely should install from the storage card by tapping on the .cab file.

The error you're getting sounds more like you're trying to run a program from a link and the link is broken.

As I read it, it sounds as if whoever cabbed up the program set it to place a link in the Start menu in the Multimedia folder. You'll just need to tap Start then look through to see if you now have a folder called Multimedia. If so, tap that and you should see a link to the reader.

If I misunderstood what you said, you may need to place the link manually. In order to put a link/shortcut in a folder, that folder must first exist. If it doesn't, you can easily create it. The Start menu folders are located on the device (not the storage card) under \windows\start menu\programs. Grab a file manager (Total Commander, which is free, Resco, whatever) and navigate there. If the folder Multimedia doesn't exist, create it. Then go to your link and move or copy it to within that folder. You'll then be able to select it from the Start menu. The file manager should also let you check the link to ensure that whatever it's pointing to is actually there. You can then either move files or correct the link to fix it. My guess is that if you install to the device memory, the link will likely work.
