Wes,
I personally hate installing ppc stuff on my pc just to get the
cab anyhow, so that's why I suggested UniExtract. It has worked for lots of
stuff for me, however, like Bev ssaid, maybe the installs add certain stuff
the cab doesn't (never for me though)

Update

Just downloaded Office 6.1 Update and ran it through UniExtract.
Worked great, it made a folder and extracted ALL the cabs. It actually has
them for both WM5/6, smartphone, and ppc.

Jeff:
Thanks for the help, I just downloaded uniextractor and the Office update,
was able to extract all the files including the .ini file. Have not put it
on my phone just yet to test, but I'm sure it will do just fine. Once I test
it manually, I will go ahead on load into my Trust Digital security suite and
push out to all the phones.

Thanks again to you both.

Regards,
Wes Garnett

NP-glad to help.
as a side note-UniExtract hasn't worked for every single .exe I've tried
but, I definetly think it's worth it. free!
and as I said before, I think it's a PITA to run an execute on my pc just to
get the cab anyway.
hope it worked for ya.
