As someone who taught themselves how to make cabs I HIGHLY recommend WinCE cab manager. I used it every single day of its free trial, deploying soon so haven't spent the 100 yet but plan to.

can I place an .exe file in the cab file that i make and have it work?
I use a spread sheet style exe program for doing weight and balance problems at work , it's specific to a bunch of freighters that we fly and i'd love to do this on my HTC TP2 rather than drag out my laptop in the ****pit.

no, the cab file basically just "puts" files wherever you want on the device...it could make a shortcut to startup to run a exe... but it wont make the program compatible with windows mobile, if thats what your asking.

I'm trying to make a cab to install my manila register.
I'm doing something wrong. I go to:

File/new/app info/device supported/select processor/finish.
That takes me to the:
Cab info page
flies
Registry

I go to registry/file/import/import from reg. It imports fine. Then I go to save as. It reminds me I have not added any files. I tell it OK. Name the cab. I tell it to save as WinCe *.cab *.hme or *.tsk

It makes a cab. The cab installs OK, but does not put in the edits. what am I doing wrong?
