Hi
I have done a search on the site and come up empty. What I am after to do is copy the window executable files from my PDA (of most interest is IE) to an SD card or my comp.
The PDA blocks this, and while I have seen alot of unlocking programs in this forum I am yet to find one to allow me to copy the files direct.
Any help would be appriciated.

I have an app created with pocketpccreations applications. This contains the
exe file, custom points(DLL's) and my own forms. I need to be able to send a
client a storage card with all the data on it.
When the card is installed the client has to find the exe file and create a
short cut to it within the programs folder. Is there a way to automates
this. EG when the card is put into the pocket pc automatically add a
shortcut to the exe file. Alternatively is there a method to copy all the
files to the internal memory and create a short cut to the exe file.
Any help or links appreciated.
Cheers
SteveW
Not my field really but if you make a directory named 2577 on the card the system looks in there for files to execute when card is inserted, as far as I know.
Take a look here for more details.

Got it working. Another question
Is there the equivalent of writing bat files. I need to run a bat file to add the program to the start up menu.
Any help appreciated.

google it - creates an installer OR you can create a cab file to do what you want
I have taken a look at both of these links but still can't seem to make sense of any of it. Okay I admit it maybe because of me, but I am looking for simialr info. I have Tom Tom5 & want to load it onto an SD card so that when I send it to whoever it will upload & install automatically onto the device. I know this can be done but the real question is HOW? Any help would be greatly appreciated but please keep it as simple as possible, a bit like me........ :lol:
Hi there, I'm having trouble installing programs that seem to come in loads of separate files. One of them is an XML file and the rest seem to be unopenable/unrecognisable by windows.
Can anyone give me advice on how to install these onto my MPV3100. I've search for Install help but there doesn't seem to be anything specific on how to do it.
Thanks.

I can't be sure but it sounds like you have decompressed a .cab file on your PC before trying to place it on your device. If so that's not the way to do it.
There are in general threetypes of programme/files you can download for WM5
1. ,cab files
2. .exe files
3. .zip files
.cab files you place directly on the device by connecting via active sync using the Explore button on the PC active sync screen. If you have a storage card inserted navigate to that and drop them in there. To run a Cab file just click on it on your device.
.exe files in the main you run on your PC whilst connected via active sync. The programme will automatically instal the programme on the device. Keep an eye on the device there maybe some taps you have to make.
.Zip files in general you extract these on the PC and then you'll see if they are .cabs or .exes and then treat them as above.
Most programmes will then show up under the Start>Programmes listing on the device and you run them from there. Some though may not especially if you chose to install them to storage card. In which case use file explorer programme to navigate to them.
Ultimately you'll want a programme that allows you to create short cuts to them probably on the desktop screen.
Hope this helps

I tried to copy a bunch of .dll files from \Windows
I encountered a couple of problems doing that:
1. Some files are not shown on the PC in Windows Explorer though I've enabled viewing hidden and system files. However, these files are shown on the device in Resco Explorer, but can't be copied to e.g. \Storage Card
2. Some files are shown on PC in Windows Explorer but are in use and therefore can't be copied
What are the tricks to back up those files?
PS: My device (S710 Vox) is unlocked using M$ Security Manager
No tricks.
If you bothered to learn anything about your device you would know that these files are part of ROM and can not be copied out.
Don't mean to be rude but this was asked and answered many times before. Do a search on "ROM dump"
Yeah stupid me...
Dumped the ROM and got the files I want
(http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom)
Actually I can't find coredll.dll in my ROM dump.
I used viewimgfs.exe to dump Part02. I can't use viewimgfs.exe on Part00 and Part01.
Is there another tool which can retrieve coredll.dll and perhaps other missing files?
Another question: can the S710 be flashed by using imgfs tools v1.82 to create the image(s) and a generic HTC flash tool?
Hello,
I am trying to copy a file (from my smartphone to SD card), which have a 'ROM' attribute set and... it is impossible - acces denied is showed (even in Resco Explorer, Total Commander). I can't even change that attribute.
Please help me to find any solution
Best greetings,
RA
You should be able to extract files from the ROM file on your PC thanks to the tools provided in one of the sticky about ROMs modifications.
Unfortunatelly...

I have extracted an 'nb' file from my ROM file, but WinImage can't open it ("not FAT16, FAT32 file"). It is WM6 image file, what tools to open this 'nb' file?
Best greetings,
RA
I, too, am trying to find a way to copy some ROM attributed files.
Ultimately, I am trying to move/copy some apps from one smartphone (WM5) to another (WM6). Is there a way to copy them to a zip file and move the files that way or maybe even using a backup copy (i.e. using Sprite Backup?) and restoring to a different phone?
Any help or direction would be appreciated. If there is another thread out there, please be sure to point me to it since searching brings up a lot of different threads.
u need to extract the rom.
Funny, but you make it sound so easy... ;-) I've been searching to figure out how to do that and found some instructions I'm hoping I can follow for the one phone, but not sure it it will apply to the old phone (WM5). If I do manage to dump the ROM, where does it go and does it extract the files in cab format for easy upload?
Update: I found a file extractor at http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6700-xv6700/56057-6700-rom-dump.html which may have originally come from Buzz... (thanks Buzz!)? so now I have all the files and modules off the old phone, but am running into some issues installing. I can transfer the files indirectly, and can find the specific application file, but when trying to run the app, it tells me that it's still missing files to enable the program. Any ideas on how to determine which files they might be or how to install the files via Activesync?
Hi all
I have an o2 xda orbit pda and I downloaded from this website the program that allows you to expand the storage card memory for the phone.
Like it said in the readme file I installed SDHC.CAB and I then went to overwrite /windows sdbus.dll and sdmemory.dll.
On going to overwrite the first one it comes up
Cannot copy sdbus:There has been a sharing violation
The source or destination file may be in use.
But It isn't and I can't get it past that point
I then go to overwrite sdmemory.dll but it comes up:
Cannot copy sdmemory: Acess is denied
Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read only, and that you have permission to copy this file.
Can someone please explain what I am doing wrong as I have no idea.
Thanks in advance
Ryan
Anyone????
I have tried it 3 more times and the same message comes up again and again.
