For most programs, running an EXE extracts one or more CAB files to a temporary folder or Program Files folder on your PC. Let the program get that far, then don't close the program. Find the CAB files and copy them somewhere else. Put the proper one on your device and install by double-clicking or using CAB install.

The key that describes the place where the CAB file was extracted can be located using the Windows registry editor:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps\[NAME]\InstallDir
