    I live in Norway, I got mine Meizu M8 (16gb, white) yesterday, and I am leaving for holiday tommorow so I need help. I have tried to install several applications but it dosent work. When I extract the "rar" files into my M8 (root) and click the cab. file or the setup.xml I get this message "can not find program to open the file". Can somone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

    You can only install a *.cab file. Use the program manager to start the installation. If you have a *.rar file without a *.cab file, only a *.exe file, so you can start the *.exe directly on your M8. You can use Meizu Me - Downloads - M8Sprite English [Cab Installer]
    to add the icon for the *.exe to your desktop.

    Don't unpack the *.cab file

    No - I give up. I have tried so many times to install several applications but it dosent work. When I extract the "rar" files into my M8 (Disk/application Data) and click the cab. file. I still get this message "can not find program to open the file". and it is a question sign in front of the cab.file.

    I think you're trying to extract cab files with winrar...give us an example of what you downloaded and what you did step by step.
