CABviaActiveSync v1.4 is a very usefull application which adds a shortcut in windows context menu for sending a .cab file to your pocket pc thru activesync. This tool will save you couple of clicks and will make your life easyer !
Here is how it work:
- CvAS installs on your desktop PC, and adds a right-click context menu for CAB files
- When you click the menu, the CAB is automatically parsed, copied to your ActiveSync directory, and a regular ActiveSync install is initiated
- When the install is complete, the CAB file stays in the ActiveSync directory, meaning you can un/reinstall in future, without having to archive the CAB away somewhere.
