Doesn't seem like I can install a *.cab file to storage card, when I open it, it will install automatically into main memory\program files
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Use Cabinst to manage your CAB installations.
gr8, cheers mate
regestry change
whit a simple regestry change , it will ask you where to install it: folder,drive....
even if you do an istallation from active sync
And what is this simple registry change ?
Do tell .... don't keep it a secret
what is this change?
ok here it is:
Edit the regestry on the PPC:
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Aplication Installer\
set fAskDest to "1"
if you like
Create the "Pogram Files" folder on the SD card on the root folder,
make sure that you have the ignore_my_docs file in the root driveof the SD card.
I install most of my program on the SD card.

Most programs can be run from SD card except Today Plugins
What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc.
A cab file is a way to install a progam.
So you can install this program wherever you want.
The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM
Thanks for that
Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow

Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?

Calvin,
Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\
Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble
Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.
Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.
My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?
I've been reading up on post regarding flashing from the SD card (which unfortuneately I'm going to be forced to do.
I have tried this but can't download the plain IMAGE files (just the .EXE files) for the different ROMS.
XDATools doesn't allow you to use EXE files when flashing from the SD card??
Where am I going wrong in this process??
try changing the extention from exe to zip and see if it works
many install programs are just selfextracting zip's
Ok no problem.... I'll give this a try.
What file extension am I looking for (what extension will the ROMImage be??)

Hi all,
I want to know how to access the Extended Rom on my Magician. I tried installing Total Commander and going to "Extended_Rom" but it didn't work. I accessed it once when I hard reseted my phone and it was plugged in the USB cradle. I need to access the Extended Tom so I can make a copy of all pre-installed application setups.
Please Help.
The trick is after a hard reset, imediately do a soft reset immediately after the last screen alignment step. In this way the ext rom files are not installed and are viewable and can be copied to another partition of your device or to your pc via active sync. this procedure doesnt totally unlock the ext rom, thus you cannot delete and/or copy files from/to the ext rom partition.
In your windows directory find the exe - loadvdisk
run it
this will 'show' your extrom
Does it really not work
Some people had written, it should work to edit the extended_rom.
But all I found don't work on the magician. There are many unlocking tools for the extended rom.
The only way seems to be the big rom, where the memory of the extended rom is added to the storage folder. But with that method you will lose the contents of the extended rom.
OK, it is possible to save it on a sd card, but i am searching for a edit-solution, so not to delete the contents but ossible to use the free 5 mb in this folder.
I hope that sometimes anyone will find a simple solution not to hard reset the magician.
I nbhextracted a cooked ROM and when i open the extended rom using winimage i cannot see any contents in it. WinImage does recognize the extended rom and shows that its 10MB large and opens it. But the contents are hidden. How can I view the contents of the extended rom in winimage?
Any responses ?
Room Cookers?

For all cab files you can use these steps:
1. copy the .cab to your Artemis with windows explorer (it should appear under My Computer) or indirectly copy it to <My Documents>\<Documents on Artemis>. Then it will be copied to the Artemis My Documents folder when you synchronise using ActiveSync.
2. open windows explorer on the artemis
3. find your cab (probably in My documents or in the root of the device)
4. tap on the cab with the stylus
5. follow on-screen instructions (install on device or storagecard)
In this case (a driver or program u use all the time, even when you're changing sd-cards) I'd install on the device. In most cases (programs you use only when that sd-card is inserted) install on storagecard to keep as much space as possible on the device (so it can use it for running programs)
After the sdhc driver is installed, soft-reset your device and after that insert your sdhc card. You should now be able to read it.
Bit obvious!!!
didnt realise they were .cab files, thought i had to flash it somehow!!
Cheers
