I just want to download the CAB file.

I'm looking for websites where you can just download the CAB files for software on my x51v. Obviously I just want to be able to download software while I'm surfing the net on my Axim. I figure most software out there for the pocket pc is the usual setup.exe routine and some websites have a mixture of both setup and CABs. But I remember being on a site called freecabs.com or something like that. Am I close? Hook me up with some urls.

Thanks.

ClickGamer offers .cab files for sale. As the name implies these are games.

Yes the whole Win32 setup thing is a bit antiquated these days and very frustrating, because it reduces the mobility of the PDA.

It's about time they stopped distributing setup executables because I can see no point, even for a beginner user. It would be better to distribute .CABs (but with a different extension) and have them associated with ActiveSync.
