I do my best to find a .cab file and you usually can if you ask the support team of software that doens't list one. If that doesn't work try Missing Sync... if that doesn't work... I am have to connect to an old laptop running WIN and install.

I've also had very good success emailing the folks who make the software, normally via their support, and asking for a cab. If that fails (and its only failed 1 out of about 10 time) then I use my Windows based PC at work.
