Does a CAB file that was developed with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK deploy and run on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5?

Applications written for WinMo 6.0 will run on 6.1 (and 6.5).

As for the CAB file itself, it depends on what information was given in the INF file used when generating it. The CEDevice section has VersionMin and VersionMax fields that could be used to narrow the deployment scope to just WinMo 6.0 if desired.

The default version settings in a Smart Device CAB project in Studio, however, is broad enough to allow both.

Yes.

In fact if you don't use any new WM6 API's, it will also install and run on WM5.
