Q: When I double-tap the CAB file, I get a message that there is no application associated with CAB files.
The build of Windows CE you have may not have the registry entries to allow double-tapping a CAB (to run the WCELOAD application). You can still extract the files a number of ways:- From the Start->Run... dialog, type: wceload "cab_file_name".
- Create a shortcut to the CAB file (select CAB file, Edit->Copy, Edit->Paste shortcut). Edit the shortcut target entry, adding "wceload " in front of the file name.
- For some older builds of CE, solutions 1 and 2 may not work. If you cannot use a more current build, try creating the file associations yourself in ADSLOAD.REG:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cab]
"Default"="cabfile"
"Content Type"="compressed/cab"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cabfile]
"Default"="cabfile"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cabfile\shell\open\command]
"Default"="wceload.exe %1"
Some early builds of CE may have trouble adding the ".cab" key. In that case, you can remap the entries in an existing key.

Current builds of CE (2002) include the CAB file extractor and registry entries.
The most common problem now is that the CAB file extractor (WCELOAD) does not work with file names that have spaces in them. That means that you can't directly open a CAB file from "Storage Card" or from "FlashFX Disk", the two non-volatile storage media for ADS products.
Copy the CAB file to the root(\) or \Windows folder, then extract it. The CAB file will be deleted after installation.
