    Hey!
    I need help installing drivers from a .cab file.
    These drivers are "generic phone" for old nokia.
    I don't have internet on my computer and that's why I downloaded it manually.

    The problem is that this .cab file does not contain any installer, .exe file.
    I also fail to install these drivers through the device manager.
    And that means: device manager> other devices> generic phone> update driver software.
    It then displays that "the system cannot find the driver software for this device".

    I found the tutorial "steps to install .cab file in windows 7 or 8".
    But it's written in a way I don't understand, and in English.
    Please help.

    Unzip the cab file, e.g. with WinZip etc. or use the expand command.

    The phone is nokia 2007 classic and windows 7.

    But I immediately unpacked this .caba and hence I know that there is no installer in it.

    Enter the ID of this phone from the device manager (pid and vid).

    There is none.
    There is only "generic phone" and some "unknown devices" in other devices.

    And when I connect a phone via usb to a computer it shows that "the failure to install the device driver software".
    And that the "generic phone" driver was not found.

    What are the identifiers for these devices?

    Do not invent, just enter your phone ID! If it detects as a "generic phone" then enter its identifier.

    It is best to provide identifiers for all devices for which drivers are missing, as well as provide system versions.

    It worked, MANY thanks! :)

    @ Kasek21 from here this topic.
    I used this program to be able to connect to the internet from a telephone.
    But now something is broken, it started to show that "the phone is connected in an incompatible usb mode".
    This removed the phone from the device manager and reinstalled the nokia pc suite as they advised on the net.
    But this problem with the drivers appeared and that's why I came here in the forum.

    To close.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the installation of generic phone drivers for an old Nokia model (Nokia 2007 Classic) from a .cab file on a Windows 7 system without internet access. The user faced challenges as the .cab file lacked an installer and attempts to update the driver via Device Manager resulted in errors indicating that the driver software could not be found. Participants suggested unzipping the .cab file and entering the device identifiers (PID and VID) to locate the correct drivers. A helpful response provided a link to download an executable file that, when unzipped and used in Device Manager, successfully installed the necessary drivers. The user confirmed the solution worked but later encountered a new issue regarding USB mode compatibility.
