Any way to install an .exe without computer?

[stevedusa]

Install an .exe without a computer? Well if that .exe is already an application built for WinMo then you don't need to do anything else, copy to the device and run.

Of course if it's the installation executable that has to be run from a PC... do yourself a favor and find a PC.

Oh I know what you mean. Generally speaking some .exe installers is what considered as a self-extracting package. Many archiving software like WinZIP and WinRAR can open these .exe (which is just an archive file with a "shell") and show the files within, which will include cab files that can be used and installed on the WinMo via ActiveSync or by copying it to the phone.

HOWEVER keep in mind that not ALL .exe files are packaged as a self-extract package. Many software developers made their .exe not an archive file with a "shell" which can be read and extracted by an archiving software. Those .exes has to be ran on a PC in order for the cabs to be extracted and installed because the developer made it that way.

Yes you can ONLY IF the .exe file is an archive with self-extracting shell that CAN be read on your WinMo device's archiving software (PocketRAR and HTC ZIP utility) AND containing the necessary .cab files for WinMo to install standalone.
