How do I install a cab file please

How do I install a cab file please.?On my Mda 2 ?I installed the mppc 2003 SE merged rom up date (from this site), on my MDA 2 and it worked oK for a couple of days then the device hard reset itself and there was no camera soft ware on it anymore. I thought if I installed the camera software on its own from this site that might be the answer. But it is in cab file form and I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN/ can anyone help please?

Installing a CAB file is easy...with ActiveSync, drag the file from your PC to your PDA (I drag them to the windows dir, but not sure if this is really necessary).
Then, go to your PDA, to the dir where you dropped the CAB, and just click it once...that is all.
About your other probs, I have no idea...I guess I need more info.
Good luck.

more details about installing cab files?
thanks for your answer. I'm hopeful - but I'm really not very technical. Can I ask more details? When I open the "camera cab file" I get a screen full of little icons all the same. Is each of these a seperate cab file? - do I open the "camera cab" folder, and then drag each one of these little icons seperately to my pocket pc document folder. Or should I NOT open the "camera" folder but just drag the WHOLE folder into my pocket pc document folder - and then active sync with my mda 2. I wish there was a site where I could see the instrucions clearly - with DIAGAMMEs! is there such a site? thanks...

copy the whole cab file

Ext Rom Customisation

Hi All,
I am meddling with my ext rom. I am setting it to auto install s/w upon hard reset. it works fine. I found out that when i hard reset the pda and phone volume is set to half. How do i make it to full ? Also, i would like to know
how do i move some files to some other folders. eg: ringtones, etc.

One option is to use the CAB Wizard and create a Small CAB File with your settings for Registry - Cab wizard allows you to put files into specific folders etc and all this you can do without writing ONE SINGLE LINE OF Script.
Another option is to do it via script :
In the config.txt you can add the lines :
CPY1:\Extended_ROM\CabInstall.exe
CPY2:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CabInstall.exe
Means the Cabinstall.exe will be copied from the extended_Rom to the Programs folder in Windows\Start Menu.
The Registry keys you can check out on the link :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Hacks
If they are not there - PM me and I shall send them to you...
Rgs/DD

thanks! I downloaded the PHM Reg editor and followed the instructions under Microsoft Application Installer -> Changing the setting so that it asks you where to install a cab on the link above..
It worked.. my ipaq now ask me where to install the cab files!
brilliant... thanks again!

Create CAB File that does NOT allow uninstalling

Hi guys,
I use WinCE CAB Manager v1.1 for creating CAB files.
The only problem is that there is no option here like "Allow Uninstall: TRUE/FALSE" (like in v2.0).
I would like that some of the CAB files that I created do NOT show up in "Remove Programs".
Is there something like a standard INF file that I can use for this option, so that with every CAB that I am going to create I 1st import the .inf file (that sets uninstalling to False) and then add my files/registry settings and things like that.
If this is possible, can someone provide me with something like this?
Thanks and regards,
Molski

As far as I know there is no such option in the INF, but the app that installs the cabs (wceload.exe) has the '/nouinstall' command line parameter.

So adding: "wceload.exe "%1" /nouninstall" to the registry would solve my problem.
But when I do this, every CAB file I install cannot be uninstalled.
I would like to set nouinstall per CAB file, so one CAB file can be uninstalled and another one cannot.
Regards,
Molski

Why do you want to do this?
If I installed something that later could not be removed - I'd be VERY pissed off.

It's for 2 files I use in the Ext Rom of my Molski.Biz roms.
And believe me...you DON'T want to uninstall these 3 files ;-)

Hi molski
If you remove the registry entry in HKLM\security\appinstall for the named apps they wont show in the remove program list. You could make a cab file to do this after installing the other cabs, or try including this in the apps cabs - I only know how to do this with xml. If you need help give us a shout.

Is it possible that you could create a XML file for me that I could use in the CAB'S that I want to prevent from uninstalling?
If you want I can PM you the CAB files.

Yes pm the cab files and i will see what i can do - i have managed to delete the reg entry with a cab so far and will try to include it in yours. What do the cabs install? Will it affect my wizard?

Install all of your files and export HKLM\security\appinstall to a .reg
Post the contents here and we can make you the cab you are after.

I have posted you a cab - it appears the best fix. I doubt if including the reg tweak in the 2 cabs would work as the reg values are added after the install. Install my cab after yours and it will do a fix - i have left the name of the fix cab blank so it does not appear in the uninstall programs list.
rename zip to cab

@molski...
What are those cab files for? if those CAB files are only for registry manipulation (meaning no files would be dumped to th device) then CAB Provisioning will be the best, it doesn't show on the Remove Programs.. Please tell if that's what you are looking for. Goodluck!

Here are the 2 files
Here are the 2 tweak files, they are created with WinCE CAB Manager v1.1
I would like that these 2 files cannot be uninstalled after they are installed by the Extended Rom.
And please...can you guys be sure that after adding the "nouninstall" option to these files I still can edit them with WinCE CAB Manager v1.1 (because I noticed that WinCE CAB v1.1 cannot open every CAB file, especially files that are created with Visual Studio or a newer version of WinCE CAB Manager).
Really thanks a lot guys!
Regards,
Molski
p.s. Some of the tweaks are in both files in case people want to manually install one of the files, but for installing via the Ext. Rom I want to make sure that they are not able to uninstall!

I've edited the files so that they are uninstallable.
Don't know if they will open inn 1.1
But If the cab files only contain reg entries the solution da_mayhem suggested is a better alternative.

Thanks, unfortunately they cannot be openend anymore with 1.1, but until I have some changes to these files they will be perfect.

When I try to install the files it says that the files are not compatible with my current OS ?
Molski

I just opened and edited them with Cab Manager 2.0
The Registry CSP is documented at MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...en-us/mobilesdk5/html/wce51grfregistrycsp.asp
I've attached a example and the only thing you need to do is to edit the _setup.xml file and run runme.bat to generate the cab file.
Easy as .... dell..?

Start Menu pcarvalho 21820LT / WM6.5 UC & Tweaks / phoneAlarm Skin & WM6.5 plugin

Start Menu pcarvalho 21820LT / WM6.5 UC & Tweaks / phoneAlarm Skin & WM6.5 plugin
Hi, if you are using the Lite Edition , you can try these buttons: (It should work with any rom though)
Cabs latest uploaded: Aug 5th
It uses Bluemetalaxe Icons to create nice looking folders:
It remaps all programs installed by the Lite Edition (other than System Tools, Settings and Games) in the start menu into those folders: GPS, Multimedia, etc. (moves the shortcut, creates reg keys and deletes old reg keys). Thefore you will have easy access to 9x9x2 programs with only one sliding gesture.
It (will) make windows folder lighter: icons are installed in "Program Files/Cruiserrr start menu" and in the short term I will modify the cab so that the old icons are deleted from the windows folder.
Why? well, if you install many programs, you know why...
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Disable S2U2.
Simply install the cab/s (only in main memory) and reset.
It runs smooth but initial load takes a little longer, wait until the signal is back and the task bar battery icon refreshes. Otherwise some folders and icons may not load and will need a new soft reset.
Be aware that any of the original shortcuts icons customized will be replaced by the ones in the cab ! make sure you do not loose any png images that you do not have a copy.
It has been done with CabWizSP.exe with post xml provisioning. I can post the "kitchen" so anybody can adapt to their taste: replace icons or destination folders (or learn how to create cab files for device customization).
Uninstall: Does not work: you end with no shortcuts. Should be easy to uninstall simply importing the file "mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml" with fdcsoft task manager and deleting all the folders and corresponding regkeys, and the folder containing the icons: program files\cruiserrr start menu.
CREDITS: Even if it is not useful for anybody, at least is a small tribute to pcarvalho and bluemetalaxe.

Post 6: Details on the Folders and shortcuts in each Folder
Post 7: wm6.5 Customization: TimeZone / Wallpaper
Post 8: phoneAlarm stuff: wm6 WM7ish plug-in and Titanium cPhoneAlarm plugin
CHANGES:
[*] Added mortscript shortcuts to the extended menu: btsync, sdconfig autorun, backlight cycle, Toogle ActiveSync/Softick Card Explorer by Twolf...
[*] Added phonealarm tab with shortcuts to the different menus
TODO LIST:
Add version to the cab's (Any help?)
Reduce png footprint (if bluemetalaxe agrees, of course)
Add mortscript shortcuts to the extended menu: update online content when wifi connected, launch program with skin rotation, backup settings, restore settings...
Add a widgets folder
Uninstall: restore pcarvalho original settings
Purge icons: delete non used pcarvalho icons
Extended registry: add additional registry keys/icons for other programs installed by the standard non-3d rom and the 3d rom.
Split the extended version in two cabs: one for freeware appls (acrobat reader, rss hub, powerradio, googlemaps) and some freebies (wifi on-off, btaudiotoggle, screen rotate, bl05 (backlight cycle control)...) and the other for 3rd party apps.
Split phonealarm stuff in a separate cab.
Recode using strings, so it is easier to change destination folders.
What is the idea behind the "extended" versions?: Need not to reinstall most of the programs in the SDcard and loose lots of time classifying them in folders and changing icon, order or location, after a hard-reset/re-flash.
Please, if you try it, give me feedback specially if you try to uninstall or install in non Lite Roms .

Nice work!
As soon as i have time i'll try it out.

so if I understood correctly it is some kind of backup app for startmenu, right? It restores all your shortcuts with icons of startmenu after HR or ROM flash?

Let me try to explain in another way:
Imagine you use reStart to create folders, move shortcuts to these folders and replace icons for all folders and some shortcuts. It would be a pain to do it each time you hard reset. (this is the cab already posted)
Imagine that with only one slide gesture or none you have access to 9 x 9 x 2 applications and you can scroll down if you have still more apps.
Imagine you restore your shortcuts to sd apps (and probably xml or reg files to restore settigns) and you are up and running without needing to reinstall all the sd card applications (this is the cab I plan to do next).
My cab simply proposes another start menu organization (all shortcuts installed in the ROM classified in folders) with a nice style (bluemetalaxe icons), more oriented to minimize number of gestures needed to access an application.
My suggestion is that you install next time you plan to reflash.
Be aware that any of the original shortcuts icons customized will be replaced by the ones in the cab !

Icons in the extended version:
Please, send links to cab versions of programs in the standard version but not in the lite version so we can hava a standard non-3d rom with most of the programs installed in the SD. I will also be glad to add the freebies, mortscripts, etc. that are not too specific to oneself.

wm6.5 UC tweaks
Cabs latest uploaded: Aug 5th
OK let's start customizing: The idea is to stick to UC cabs and xml files.
Automatically set Time Zone
I read many posts about people not being able to provision this info with wm6.5. It works for me. Credit goes for FInixNOver
1. Unzip the attachment "cruiserrr UC.zip" to your desktop.
2. Copy the folder setup to your storage card root
3. Set the desired timezones in your device
4. Sync your device
5. From the dektop pc run the file cUC_TimeZone.bat in the rapiconfig directory
6. Take the file generated cUC_TimeZone and copy to Storage Card\Setup\Xml
Warning: Do not try to load the file with fdc task manager or similar programs (it will fail to load many correct xml files). If you want to test, you should generate a new bat file to load cUC_Timezone.xml to your device and see the results in the CMD
7. In your device, change the timezones to whatever, far away from where you live.
8. Copy the sdconfig.txt file to the sd root or add these lines to your current sd config
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
SHOW: \Storage Card\setup\Bmp\cUC_TimeZone.bmp
XML: \Storage Card\setup\Xml\cUC_Timezone.XML
LOCK:Disabled
SHOW: \Storage Card\setup\Bmp\_Reset.bmp
RST: Reset
9. If you have installed the extended menu, then run MyMscr->Custom UC: it does not hard-reset the device, it simply executes the userID configuration. If you only installed the normal menu, then you'll have to install manually in this link. Credit goes for mousio
or
9. Hard-reset
Warning: do not stop the UC process or it will hard-reset the device. If something goes wrong, plug to the pc, restore a safe sdconfig.txt file and reset
10. Wait until the UC ends and the device resets.
11. Check the timezones are the ones defined in step 3 or blame me for your last precious five minutes lost if you still see the timezones defined in step 7
12. Tell me if it worked for you.
Automatically change wallpapers
If you cab your wallpapers in a tsk/cab file you will most probably loose many wm6.5 menu, task bar, ec attributes. So you must copy your favourite pictures to windows folder naming them....
You can automate it.
1. Rename your favourite JPG wallpapers as stwater_240_320.jpg (portrait) and stwater_320_240.jpg (landscape).
2. Copy them to storage card/set up/wallpaper
3. Check the cUC_Wallpaper.xml file is copied into storage card/setup/xml. If not, do so.
3. add the following line to the sdconfig.txt
Code:
...
SHOW: \Storage Card\setup\Bmp\cUC_wallpaper.bmp
XML: \Storage Card\setup\Xml\cUC_Wallpaper.XML
...
4. Proceed with steps 9 to 12 as before.

phoneAlarm skins and wm6.5 plugin
reserved for my phonealarm skin and tricks
Current Cab 4 Sept
Credit goes for:
- ybbor, who helped with solving the same issue in WAD.
- rockability at pocketmax forum and bluemetalaxe here, for most of the icons used
- penguin, , for such a great program and the help I found with all the pop-ups, commandline, etc
I am also remastering the phoneAlarm skin with the new functionalities in Phone Alarm
To do list WM6 plugin:
- remaster weather, weather tab, thumbs tub, stocks tab, contacts menu...
- include in the cab links to programs, basic automatic profiles and other set-up options.
I use both, titanium in main screen (to impress friends) and wm6 plugin in secondtoday, activated with a hw button (for normal use).
The current cab has no wm6.5, only standard skin and not finished yet:
- Pressing in the signal / battery meeters: Program Launcher (20 programs) / Task Manager / Quick contacts / Last calls
- "standard" TAB (to use in the office): counter for calls / mails / sms
- "Thumbs" TAB (to use while driving): qgps / iGO / VoiceSpeedDial / radarupdate (PENDING) / bigger wifi/bt/data icons / information rotator displayer
- "weather" and "stocks" Tabs (ongoing work) I download images with mortscript and they are shown in there
- "Thumbs" TAB (to use while driving): qgps / iGO / VoiceSpeedDial / radarupdate (PENDING) / bigger wifi/bt/data icons / - Pressing the clock: backlight toogle
- reminders show in the middle of the clock
- Pressing the profiles icons: 7 phone profiles
- Pressing the weather image: 5 days accuweather forecast.
- Pressing the date / time opens the calendar
- Each time I change profile a mscr writes info to registry: This info is shown in titanium plugin made with chome but I do not know how to share that part.

Unsolved issues so far
Big issues:
How to backup my bt pairings in a xml provision file
How to refresh titanium and start menu icons without reloading all.
How to install cabs to sd and import reg keys without mortscripts
How to reinstall reg keys for my programs automatically without mortscript send keys
Learn to make my own roms (when I buy a pc since I do not have admin rights in the one I use)
hide top bar (and soft) in wm6.5 start menu and titanium plugin but having it when opening whatsover program (without using WAD2 or WisBar Advance, I mean)
Minor issues:
: Make a mortscript to take screenshots

HI.. I am using pcarvalho 23053 rom and i ve installed your cab. Got some new shortcuts but none of them are working..it says "Either it is not signed orone of its components cannot be found".pls help...thanx in advance.

Ops ! that surprises me ! can you tell me some examples? try installing sdkcerts.cab first (search the forum). Anybody knows what may be wrong?

hi i ve already tried installing sdkcerts.cab, but still the no luck

Maybe a stupid question but are the applications installed? I mean, many of the shortcuts are simply shortcuts to sd programs, check the link target and see if your application is there ...
Anybody else has experienced the same? If that is the case, maybe the best thing to do is to close the thread for now.

Custom EXT's

This is a thread to post up random custom EXT's (not stuff dumped from roms, but stuff put together by users). Here's one I put together today. It creates 13 shoutcast .pls files (in \application data\shoutcast) and also creates shortcuts in the start menu for the .pls files (in Playlists, which needs a folder icon if you use it). The app.reg file creates a .pls file association for tcpmp-it may need editting for the path (I have tcpmp in \windows). The package requires mortscript; all it is is a mortscript that creates the files during customizations. It is fully edittable-you'll need to dump the .pls file for any station you want from shoutcast, and then edit the script. I kind of doubt anyone's gonna want all the .pls files I use. The nice thing about using these files is that you don't need a middle-man app to get the shoutcast stream going (e.g. PIE). The script looks like this:
Code:
WriteFile("\Application Data\Shoutcast\Twang City.pls","[COLOR="Red"][playlist]^NL^numberofentries=1^NL^File1=http://67.218.97.133:8888^NL^Title1=(#1 - 12/32) TwangCity - Alt-Country and American Roots Music^NL^Length1=-1^NL^Version=2^NL^[/COLOR]")
Just change the .pls name to whatever you want, and cut-and-paste the contents of the file in between the second set of ""s. The little squares for line-breaks need to be replaced by ^NL^. Some of the .pls files are longer than others (check the 'boot liquor' one). I'll post some more later.
Edit: Lol!!! It oughta be named 'Streaming Package'.
Added tcpmp package.

I know; it's so funny, I gotta leave it that way.
I added a tcpmp package to the first post. It needs mortscript to unzip the skin files and also to create the start shortcut. Edit the mortscript to change the location in the start menu that it goes to. The skin is the one on the bottom left of the first post from the thread. I guess it's by listopad-it's really sweet.
Here are three more. The first is the new dotfred task manager 3.3. It's set up to run the cpu usage monitor; to remove it, delete the .dll and the certificates and whatnot in the app.reg file.
The second is PE Info (free from s-k-tools.com). It lets you look inside PE files (kind of like PE Explorer).
The third is the newest version of the google youtube app. It needs mortscript to run, and the start link is in the mortscript.

This is a package with the latest Bing with turn-by-turn navigation. You need mortscript for it to run, and the shortcut is created in the mortscript in the package; edit the second line to put the shortcut wherever you wish.
I've had issues with the XAML files becoming corrupt if I locate this straight into \windows. Whenever I soft reset, all the files in \windows\xaml become corrupt (task 29 doesn't help). Anyway, it works fine for me in \program files, so that's why the package is put together that way.
Edit: Here is a combo EXT of TCPMP/Uzard Web browser. The browser's media player is tcpmp with a crappy skin. I've combined the browser with TCPMP-0.72RC2-ARM-WM6, and the two media players use the same plugins (saves memory). They also use the same custom skin, so now you can make all the same tweaks to the uzmp media player as you can with tcpmp. You need mortscript for this to install properly, and the start menu shortcuts are created in the mortscript.

Hi, great idea but just to let you know there already exist a thread like this with custom packages thanks to Starbase64.
