Is your Smartphone running Smartphone 2002
(CE 3.0 based
) or Smartphone 2003
(CE 4.2 Based
)?
In Smartphone 2002, the Smartphone's Wceload.exe cab installer supported classic CE cab installs
(CE 2.0+
) as well as the new Smartphone cab format. However, starting with Smartphone 2003, support for legacy cabs was dropped and the Smartphone cab format seems to have been made mandatory. Many HPC and PPC applications install fine under SP2002 but will always refuse to install on SP2003. This also creates problems for authors that used the classic format for their Smartphone apps because they will refuse to install on SP2003. I imagine MS did it to force developers to use the compressed Smartphone cab format and decrease Over The Air download times.
If you are using Smartphone 2003, the easiest workaround for this limitation is to temporarily replace the Smartphone wceload.exe with a HPC or PPC one.
If you wish, I can upload a CE 4.2 wceload for you to try when I have the chance...
If the device you are using uses Smartphone 2002, it may not install through Activesync, but you should be able to install from a cab file on your device.
You can also edit or make a new cab file to install the files on Smartphone with OCP Software's WinCE Cab Manager utility. This tool will allow you to modify or create almost any type of Windows CE cab file.

Though, you should be aware that even if you do get it to install, there is no guarantee it will work with the Smartphone's version of the Pocket Outlook PIMS...

Hope I was helpful
