deleting registry keys automatically within a cab file

Hello professionals ;-)
i have to delete some registry keys during an softwareinstall with a cab file.
Can anybody tell me how to make an installationfile (like *.cab ore something else) deletes some keys in the registry!
whatfor?
i want to install some programs (like pocket plus) and make some configuration during cab file installation. so i looked into the registry what changes when i configurate pocket plus.
as i noticed there where som keys changed i can overwrite with the new values BUT there are some registry keys deleted also. How get them out???
is there any way ??

Have a look at creating a custom setup.dll file to include in the cab file.
You can certainly delete registry entries using it.

I don't know about deleting registry using cab files.
I think there is only options to allow or not to replace a registry key if exists during install.
Here a good link for .cab files Cab files
Apart that you can make your own install from PC to Pocket using RAPI. With that no problem to delete keys, copy files, add new keys ...

want to delete some keys bevore install
Thank's for your tips!

is there more information about this ?
how it works?
how to do?
as i looked at the CABFiles Website this looks very complicated to me ;-(
i am an absolute beginner in developing software!
i need an easy way to delete some regkeys during installation.

I think you can use the excellent scripting utility called nScriptM to achieve your goal. Simply run a search on this in google and you will come across a number of resources including the download location.

Any pointers on making an OEM out of cab with setup.dll?

Hello all. I'm looking for some pointers and I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give.
I'm starting to make some OEMs out of cab files, and I've pretty much got that part down. The problem I am having is making an OEM out of a cab that utilizes a setup.dll file.
I have taken a registry snapshot before and after installing one of these cabs, but it is still missing something. Am I just SOL? Does anyone know of an app that will "decompile" the .dll file so I can see the install_exit and install_init calls?
My other option was to modify these cabs so that they have hard coded paths and force them to install without user interraction. Then dump them in /windows, make a mortscript in /windows/startup that will install the cab, delete the cab, then auto delete the mortscript. Does anyone have a better way of doing this?

I do it the old fashion way. Dump registry, install app, dump registry again and then Use windiff to see the new reg entry's. Also grab all the files on the ppc from the cab. (sometimes Setup.dll renames files in cab)
After you do a few, it'd becomes as easy as a regular cab. If you need help let me know.
If there is an easier way i don't know it. I hope there is though.

Folder lost

Hallo,
why i cannot find this folder in my device ? :
HKLM\Software\HTC
Thanks
Luca

It's not a folder...
It is a tree in the registry of the device. You need a tool such as PHM Registry Editor to make modifications in the registry.
But if you don't know about this, I wouldn't suggest you to modify it by yourself, unless you know exactly what you are doing.

THANKS!!!!!

Change Folder Icons using Png Files?

Does anybody know how I can use png files to change the icon for Folders and Shortcuts? I'm in WM 6.5 and I've tried everything I can find. I'd prefer a way to use a RGU or Provxml or Initflashfiles.dat when I cook if that's possible? Automation is what I'm looking for. I'd like to create a package with the png files included, and an RGU or whatever needed to lay it all out.
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate the help.
