Hi.
I have a serious probelm
When ever I try to install anything to my SD Card through Active Sync, I just end up getting the .CAB file for the install file and whenever I click on it, it installs the program to the Main Storage memory :!:
What I do is this...
I connect my XDAIIi up with my computer and use active sync to sync them both. I just then click on any of the programs that I want to install, and it asks do you want to install blah blah to the default directory (or something like that) I click NO and choose my Storage Card. It then does the above :?
PLEASE could someone help.
I am using an XDAIIi with Active Sync 4. Up until now I have had no problems. I tred downgrading to Active Sync 3.8 but that still did not work.
Am I doing something stupidly wrong???????!!!!!!!
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HELP!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!
I would greatly appreicate a reply as soon as posible.
Thankyou loads in advance,
Regards,
lydiachris
GURU'S NEEDED!!!
Please does anyone know?? There must be XDAIIi guru's out there somewhere!!!
Ohh..... how I wish I were one :roll:
did you try cabinst to install programs from your device to the storage card instead of using MS active sync......... ??
Ah Ha!!! Well done Just got that to work, I was trying to install Visual-IT London maps etc and I think they actually get extracted automatically to .CAB files, I have tried the bacIstall software and it works a treat Thankyou very much.
Cheers.
WHY on earth are these things ever simple?!?! :roll:

Hi All,
Newbie here so please be nice :wink:
I have only had my XDA Mini for a few weeks now and have just tried to copy files from the PC straight to the storage card via Activesync. I open Activesync and click on 'File' then 'Explore'. The explorer window opens but I get this message...
"Critical communications services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
I have reset the mini and rebooted my PC many times but it has made no difference. What does it mean and how do I fix this problem?
I believe this is an issue with the built in XP firewall... Install another firewall, disable the built-in one and try again.
Hi,
I have the problem as well from time to time. As an alternative I found out, that you can place files in \My document\<Device name>_Syncronised Files (or similar, sorry I use the german version). If you acitivate ActiveSync feature of syncing files, these files will be transfered to the device. You cannot access the memory card this way but at least you can transfer files even if the 'Explore' funtion is not working.

Thanks Guys.
Marco, I have been downloading via My Documents without any problems. The problem here is that I am limited to the memory on my device. I need to download straight to the Storage Card as the files are larger then the internal memory.
Sunoke, ill try the Firewall thing and see how I go.

Enugh my shi***ing here
1st u need program (activesync) to install files on your PDA cause files that have extension with exe. need that tool to install, u can't just copy file on the PDA and then run them , exept they have extension like cab.
So get your activesync (if u don't have it go to microsoft and find it)
connect via cabel, ird, bluetooth... and do it !
hope it helps

thanks for your help
yes i did, first on my storage card and then i copied it to my documents folder, but the setup.exe doesn't do anything when i tap it.
Hi,
Just connect your device via Act.Sync to your PC copy the exe file to your PC, if you haven't done so, and run the exe file on your PC. This is th usual way to install new applications.
Good luck, M

The other option is to download the CAB file (if available). Then you can copy the CAB file to your device, click on it and it will install.
The only issue when installing CAB files this way, they generally install into the default location on your PDA (normally into RAM or main memory). If this isn't an issue then no problem but if it is you can download and install a program called "CAB Install" from here http://www.s-k-tools.com/fp/viewtopic.php?t=44
Run this app and you can then install your CAB files where ever you want.
Hi all, is it possible to add programs to the storage card on an MDA Vario using activesync 4.1?
I have the card installed and it works fine but when i go to add a prog in add/remove programs on activesync, the check box for "store to default folder" is greyed out. Anyone got any ideas?
I have removed activesync completely and re-installed it again but it's not working.
Cheers.
The install option to device/storage card appears not on the desktop activesync. The PocketPC asks you if you install an app.
Doh!
Yup, cheers for the reply, I was being too impatient, I realized shortly after posting.
I was beginning to think that it was not possible and i couldn't believe no one had moaned about it on here. I was searching everywhere to no avail lol.
We live and learn......
Then die and forget it all :?
i've tried to install AIM... and a webcam program.. both of which install through active sync.. however everytime I try I get the following message on my phone...
"Installation of (whatever).CAB was unsuccessful." and that's about all I get.
Also whenever I connect the phone to my PC is says it's unable to successfully syncronize and asks me to reconnect the device.
MS's support site has been less than helpful... any help you all can give would be greatly appriciated....
Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?
Hi,
Couple of things you might consider / try: -
Establish an activesync connection, then use the "explore" button, navigate to your staorage card, and manually copying the .cab file from your pc to the storage card.
Then on the treo go to file explorer, storage card, and run the cab from the card.
The other thing is to check that you're using activesync 4.1 or later - updates are a free download from MS.
Hope this helps
Angus
Thank you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately i've already tried copying the CAB files straight to the device and launching them produces exactly the same result.
I'm also already using Activesync 4.2 latest version.
Is there anything else I can try?
judging from your sig, you're using a pretty old rom version... I would definitly upgrade it and then give it another go...
Hi,
I have had my Iwzard for a week now and have this porblem with applications not installingon my wizard. I tried downloading low CPU Skype for pocket PC the from http://www.skype.com/download/skype/mobile/download.html - my Wizard says its not a valid application.
Downloaded Total Commander from:
http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm ( the ARM/XSCALE/PXA version)
still could not get it to work.
Downloaded pocket doom from some site, did not work either. Always the same message...
And still I was able to download and install the agile messenger program..
It is the skype that has me worried. If you have any suggestions, please let me kow. Thanks!
What ROM do you have installed ?
Where do you install the application - your internal storage or to a storage card ?
I've had this once, and a reset helped me install.
You need to run the install program from a location on your PC through active sync. You can not install it directly from the phone.
dummy me
Sorry guys, this thread was a complete waste of forum space. Turns out as I was still new to this device and the way it functions, I never realized I need to run my programs on the desktop computer and they would install via ActiveSync on the PPC. Don't get me wrong I did my research but not a word on this issue. Not surprised though...people regard that as common sense )
Thanx for answering anyway, apologies for the dumb question!
