I've also found that not all .exe files contain .cab files that can  
be extracted using FileJuicer.

I have an Intel MacBook and have installed Parallels and Windows XP.  
There I installed ActiveSync.  While in Windows (gasp!) I run  
the .exe PocketPC application and let it install. ActiveSync launches  
and says it will be installed on the next sync.

While you can install programs this way, I find it a little buggy to  
sync my pda/phone with two computers, since there are always notices  
of conflicts with MissingSync that arise.

So, in Windows I do a search for "*.cab" and locate the program I  
just installed.  I then copy the .cab file into make and then to the  
SD card on my pda, then install it on the phone.

In writing this, it sounds like a HUGE amount of work, but it  
actually doesn't take that long. Also, by copying all the CAB files  
to a separate folder I have on my memory card on my phone/pda, I've  
got a back up of all of the applications so it's easy to reinstall  
later if need be.

Well...it works for me...
