Hi,
i want to install the programs to a directory on the mmc card.
But if i do so, it installs in the root.
Now, thats not looking nice, and its hard to find anything there then.
I want create a directory for games and programms on the card.
How can i do that?
I can only choose between, Memory Card, Storage and Main Memory.
And that sucks!
Maybe u can user WinCE CAB Manager and edit the *.cab installation directory to any directory u prefer.
You can use the freeware CabInstall and install program directly from the SD.
Yes, but on the on hand this would be a lot of work, changing every single files directory in the cab and on the other hand it wouldn´t work out with Progs, that have an exe intallation, like the game AoE.
Thos Progs, first install on the PC and then on the PPC, and there are no editable CABs at all.
I thougt about changing the installation interface inactive sync , but i´m not a coder.
But maybe, there is somebody out there, who had the same idea like me and realised it already.
The Best solution ever: have a look at the attached files, open the TXT file first (the instructions)
You will not need any additional Software (except e Regestry editor like PHM Regedit), just follow the instructions and use the attached files.
Workes great I am having this now for 4 months!
if you install the programmes to the SD/MMC card, and they make their own folder, put the SD/MM card into a card reader on the pc and select the entire folder as hidden. this means that the programme still works, but does not show up when you explore the card. this does not work if u are using your phone as a card reader.
Sorry DerliebeWolf, The BEST solution is the follow (Tested on WM2003Se):
- Download a registry editor 4 Ur PPC
- Open AskDir_ON.reg with the program
- Reset your PPC
manually:
- Go to \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest
- Change DWORD value (dec) from 0 to 1
- Reset your PPC
If you install a cab file or an exe file from the pc (that copy the cab into your ppc and then execute it), Windows Mobile will ask you in wich folder you want to install the sw.
Note that you can have problems with some applications (because they're not installed in their own directory)

Cabinstaller is the best and easy software i could recommend for this. Run the cab installer software once and set it to run for all installations, the whenever u try to install a cab file, it will prompt you for the path of installation. It also has an option to disable deleting of cab file after installation. Do you want anything more than this? and to the max, it is free ware! Its easy to get, if you can't find,I have it in my site' software section. www.cartystudios.com
oh yes, i've forget that cabinstall associes .cab files to it (and then, when you execute an exe from the pc, in the ppc will be opened always with cabinstall in auto)
They're the 2 Best Solutions
Hello
I was trying to install tcmp4 on an XDA IIi, i downloaded tcmp4 onto the storage stick of XDA IIi, and clicked on the tcmp4, i get the message
'tcmp4' is not a valid Pocket PC application
i am sure i downloaded tcmp4 onto my XDA Exec in a similar way.
can you guys help me?
hello again
i figured out what to do, rather i remembered what i had done with my xda exec.
it is just the same procedure, get the cabinst file, and use it to install the cab file for the arm version
dear XDA_Guy
installing any application in Pocket PC can be either
1) exeutable file : which extention is .exe
these files (mostly and I say mostly) installable via the PC using ActiveSync program installed.
2) .cab file and these file shall be copied directly to the pocket PC and installed by clicking on them
Most program supplier (or programmers) produced the 2 vesrion of there programs i.e. in Cab and Exe format
the good thing with the cab version that you can keep in the SD card and everytime your hard-reset ( or format ) your XDA your can easly restore the programs from the SD (cab file ) without a computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE : about cab file ... most pocket pc or Windows CE deletes the cab file automatically after installing them.
to prevent this you need to install other cab installation utility / program.
personally I use the attached program. its exe file but just copy it and place it in your my documents or any other location . ( this is exe file but its a pocket pc exe file not PC )

thanks for the reply nasoor
you mean that the cab file version are meant to be installed on sd cards
and the exe version is meant to be installed on the device itself by clicking on the exe while the exe is on the pc?
how do i use the active sync program to install an .exe file? i copied the .exe file to my sd card and accessed it through activesync(explorer) however by only clicking on the file, it only gives me the properties
yes ,
the cab files should be copied either to you SD card or to the Pocket PC using the activesync explorer.
the EXE file should be run directly from the PC not the XDA. the steps are :
1- Put your XDA in the cardle ( holder) which is connected to the USB.
2- wait for the syncronization process to finish
3- go to the EXE file for TCPMP program in your Desktop Computer
4- Run the file and follow the instructions to be installed
5- after finishing you will see your XDA doing some progress and copying
6- You are done enjoy
regarding the cabinstall_en.exe file for cab installation , even this file is an exe file but as I told you before you can just copy it to your SD card and run in the Pocket PC not the Desktop because this is a Mobile EXE file.
I hope you are fine now ..
thanks for the reply nasoor
is there any way to know if a a file is a mobile exe file or is a pc exe file?
actually , without a programmed tool or external tool you can not
I mean , the only way - as I think - is by try executing the file , if the file fails to run with an error messaage says ' The file is not a valid 32 bit application ' then it means that this is for Pocket PC
otherwise , it will run , then it should be ment for the Desktop or Windows XP /ME application
thanks for the reply nasoor
pocket pc's are 32 bit applications?
Hello all,
If you could help id be appreciated :
Now that i have installed the latest ROM, i have a few issues i wonder if anyone could help. I have the O2 XDA MINI S
1. I have deleted init_try.exe and so have lost the battery meter at teh bottom of the screen. Can anyone post the UK version for O2 so i can reinstate it. I have tried running POWERTRAY from the \Windows directory, but this is only a picture and doesnt say in words the % left. Plus it is removed after reset.
2. I have CapNotify.exe in the \windows\Startup folder, but cant get it to work. Any ideas. I click it but nothig happens
3. Every so often i copy a program onto my XDA Mini e.g "PHM Registry" it says "CANNOT COPY PHM RESISTRY MAKE SURE YOUR MOBILE DEVICE HAS SUFFICIENT MEMORY , THAT THE FILE IS NOT SET TO READ-ONLY AND THAT YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO COPY THE FILE.", but my memory isnt full, and if i change it not read-only it doesnt work when i run it on my XDA
please help, id appreciate any ideas
Ta
.
Find enclosed the two files from my rom - should work with yours.
You need to place a init_tray.lnk file in you windows\startup directory and the files in the windows directory.
Normally when you click on capnotify.exe nothing happens - check caps/shift works on keyboard.

seems the solution has been found. the following is a translation from a threat i found claiming to solve the damaged ext_rom situation.
PLEASE NOTE: I had no device to test this, others claim this to work though. USE AT OWN RISK!!!
here you go:
What you need:
1 program: Flash Format V2.66
2 program: Unhide_Uni_Extended_ROM (storage made visible)
to begin install "Unhide Ext. ROM", followed by softreset.
Execute "Flash-Format" and install to device via activesync.
should see extended_rom on your device as an empty folder.
Once you check system settings you should get the ext_rom displayed as 0,93mb free.
start flash format, to be found under settings/system, not programs!
Change to the tab “format”, choose "storage" on top, choose “fat16” and "cluster size 1KB"
Untick “backup FAT”, and than tap “format”
Once formatting is done, you should see the .cabs again.
if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.
terminate “flash format”, and deinstall program"Unhide-Ext.-Rom".
you are ready to perform a hardreset and the original setup routine should run as before you destroyed the extrom.
in addition: SEEMS TO be able to add own cabs this way too!? i am somewhat pressed for time, so anybody volunteering to be the guinea-pig?

I have tested the solution in order to repair the damaged extend_rom of my Artemis and has worked.
Great!!!!
Thanks a lot
This don´t work on my XDA Orbit. Flash Format says at the format: "Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
All applications was closed. Resco Explorer says me the same when i want to format.

check anyway if the files are visible now
The files was visible, i know this, i have make this with Resco Explorer last month, but the Extended Rom don´t work after a hardreset.
The info comes with 3 seconds, but after 3 seconds the info closed and thats it, nothing installed.
Sorry for my bad english!
Try to perform this operation with FlashFormat and test it
<if this is ok, use “flash format” again and use “auto-run”, choose “storage”, below “config text” of the extended_rom and tick “activate-autoRun”. Followed by “test” and you should see the whole config.text again.>
Same problem for me, on HTC P3300, i'm getting same message:
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
NICE WORK THX
i have now own extrom
when you se
"Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29). Please close any application which may be accessing files on the storage card."
it is unlocked and editable
you can delete all files and copy new
I got the same error message ("Exclusive access to the storage card is denied (#29) ...") but found out that if you ignore it and go ahead with the procedure, you will succeed in repairing the Extended_ROM as well ... - i.e. the Extented_ROM utilities will install after hard reset is performed ...

... and one more thing, the Extended_ROM works OK even after an old full backup was restored on the device.

is it possible to delete that "Storage", to get more free memory?
Trouble with Unhide Ext
I am desperately trying to bring my iPaq File Store extended memory back to life. The RX3700 series (and others apparently) have a defect that locks the memory up if it gets to close to full. Then you can't format it or anything.
It sounds like this fix might address the problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to load the "Unhide Ext.rom" correctly. So naturally the extended memory is not appearing in the FlashFormat app.
Could someone please post a step by step for getting the "Unhide Ext.rom" installed and working properly?
Thanks!
Randy

Have you tried Hard resetting? yes the ext_rom looks ok even after reinstalling backup, but the question is if ext_rom apps will reinstall after hard reset???
Hi, I have an 838pro with wm6 running on it. I have a lot of programs on the memory card that dont appear in the 'programs' bit of my pda. I was wondering if thats standard, and if so: can i change that?
Also is their any hack / program that will enable me to use the front (video calling) camera as just a usual camera?
Thanks alot, have a great day.
First of all you are posting at the wrong thread. You have a Dopod 838 pro (Hermes) & you are posting at Wizard forums.
For the programs at your storage card you find with your file browser the executable that you want to ''go'' to your programs folder, press copy & then go to My Device - Windows - Start Menu - Programs & then select paste as sortcut. You must do that to every program that you want.
For your front camera I don't know because my Wizard don't have one .-
copying the exe is a bad idea
if the exe depend on dlls or other files located in the same
dir it will not work as exe are usually much bigger then shortcuts
you make shortcuts to the program using
total commander
and if you installed the programs on the sd card before you
changed rom or changed device or something like that
they will never auto showup
much like if you installed programs on an external harddisk for your
computer and connected it to another computer new or a friends pc
they would also not show up
apart from that if they depend on settings added to the reg of the pda or computer
for that matter and you changed pda/rom or computer
you will have to reinstall them
but then not all programs add shortcuts to programs depend on how
the cab file makers made the install
