Okay. To start with I already have CAB Installer 1.04, so I can install to the location of my choice. However, I have a CAB file that seems to be pre-configured to install to a specific location, and sadly, that specific location is main memory. I don't want it there. I want either to force it to install to SD card or to be able to move it after the fact. So far, I've tried:

- Editing the file inside the CAB that seems to contain path information. Unfortunately this didn't work as re-compressing the CAB (using no compression) in Windows using PowerArchiver seemed to turn it into something my PPC didn't recognize as being a valid CAB installer, even though CAB Installer seemed to recognize its size and compression method (stored).

- Editing the registry to redirect where the data was loaded from. This led me to the realization that the registry entries for the program already pointed to the location on the SD card I had specified in CAB Installer. There just wasn't anything actually there, and the program that was installed didn't seem to care anyway.

any other suggestions?

Assuming the app isn't one that is required to be in RAM to run, just install wherever it installs, then move the directory where you want it and modify the shortcut to point to the new location using a file manager.
