I have an iPAQ 2795 with Windows Mobile 5.0. ActiveSync has never worked for me, that is a separate issue. For this reason I install all programs on it by first obtaining a .CAB. I put this .cab into a .zip and post it to my local website. From there I use pocked ie to download. I exctract this zip on my mobile device with functionality built into the Resco File Explorer.
I have verified that Resco is extracting files without issue from a .zip.
With the .cab file on the mobile device I simply double click and the install starts. Everytime I do this I see the following message: "Installation of CF.cab was unsuccessful". CF.cab is file "NETCFv2.wce5.x86.cab" simply renamed.
Using cgacutil.exe I can see that Compact Framework 1.0.4292.00 is currently installed.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might get the latest CF installed I am at a loss.
Thanks in advance.
I imagine some program could be using the installed cf but how would I know that there is no task manager correct

Please see this on how to pick correct CAB for your device (and you’re installing very wrong one) as well as for possible installation issues:
