No you are not missing anything.

The CAB file is designed for installation directly on the PDA, while the *.exe 
installer is designed to be run on your Desktop PC (hence the error that it's not a 
valid Pocket PC app).

The *.exe will register the nesscary cab files with ActiveSync so that PythonCE is 
automatically installed onto your connected PDA (and can be found in ActiveSync's 
Add/Remove Programs menu item). Essentially it downloads the CAB file via 
ActiveSync and then automatically installs it.

Hope this helps,
