I use programs like "Pocket RAR" (freeware) which will let you unzip/unrar programs on smartphone/pda and just like ileanadu stated.....if it is a "cab" file it must be run on the smartphone/pda. Now some "exe" are made to run on a smartphone/pda....but you will not know untill you try to run the "exe" file if you get an error...most likely it is a pc "exe" file which then will load the program via activesync when run on the pc. It is a hit and miss on the "exe" files
Example:Pimbackup.....once you unzip/unrar....the program is ready to run...just click on the pimbackup program and it will run the program. So on this program you can d/l the file straight to the smartphone/pda then unzip/unrar and you are ready to rock and roll no need to install since it does not unzip/unrar as a cab it unzip/unrar as a "exe" but a "exe" for the smartphone/pda and not a "exe" for the pc.
