If ActiveSync/WMDC does not see the device, you do have to use the CAB file. The exe file is made at the same time the CAB file is made. But I'm not sure you're using the right file.
Your cab file should be something like myProject.Installer.cab, while the installer will be named myProject.Installer.exe. To get the cab file, you need to check "Retain CAB File" in Tools...Options...Installer. The company name, etc., is set in Project Properties, in the Properties window. >Everything works well.
