Ok.. So I want to download a file to my phone(internetsharing) but when I unzip it i see 3 files (internet , 000dummy and set up) can someone tell me which is the correct file... And for future reference how do you tell which is a correct file to load if there's more than on contained in the zip??

More likelly the Setup files are the ones you use to install whatever program/app you downloaded..

Is it an exe file that you need to run from your pc in order to load it to the ppc?

If you running it from your pc to the ppc should be the exe file, if is from your ppc should be the cab file.

Ok bro, what you got there, is a cab file, all you have to do is transfer that cab file into your device and should automatically start installing if not just click on it and follow instructions...good luck.

Completly understand that ... but it's a zip file (can you take a look at the link to understand?) and i have to unzip it to install ( am i correct?) after I unzip or extract to the desktop i get 3 files... if there was only one file or an exe file it would be so simple

If youre talking about the file hosted in this post then I see a InternetSharingFIX.cab. Where are you seeing .zip at?

Sometimes people will add .zip to a file name so they can upload it. I've seen some such as randomfile.cab.zip. If it is that type of format, just remove the .zip from the end of it and then open the cab file on the phone. If that is the case no unzipping is required.
