After you downloaded the file, it should have been copied directly to your Ax. Then you click on the file (on the AX) and it wil install.

So i don't have to unzip it first before i sync it over to my Ax?

That's correct.

This is very common, should be in every PPC FAQ out there...

.cab is a common form of file compression, when browsing with file extensions turned off, it is indistinguishable from ZIP files becasue it is associated with WinZip or what have you, so has the zip icon. Also, since ZIP folders are what is commonly downloaded from the web, it is habit for many to simply decompress htem first thing.
