When I do that the PC asks where I would like it installed and so I choose the only option there for my phone which is Mobile Device. The problem is that it doesn't show any choices for where on the Mobile. I'm wondering why it says to install and run the EXE. file on the PC. Couldn't I put it directly on my phone and install from there?

Thanks so much for still taking time for this.

EXE files are installed using your host PC. I don't use them; never have. CABs are either downloaded with your PC and transferred to your phone and then installed from the phone or downloaded directly to the phone using Opera or IE. It's possible the EXE was poorly written.

Most people put a small repository folder on their Storage Card to hold and manage CABs. Then after a hard reset or flash it's a simple matter to re-install from the Storage Card. That way if you're away from your host PC when needing a hard reset you have an "out".
