This is not possible.
Windows CE & (any PC Windows) are completely different systems. An PC exe cant be run on PPC because it gets interpreted wrong. Even if it could be interpreted there are missing dlls / registry entries the install looks for.

Even if someone would create a application that could do that it would need vast amounts of space because 1st you have your (made up) 1.5 MB install file. Then the application "installs" the raw CAB file (another 1.3 MB or so) and then the application can be installed at another 1.3 MB. So you would need 3x the space of what the final application is. In this calculation the application for install is even not included (it would be a very big one because it must emulate a pc OS)
