Hi,
I have uninstalled from the JJ the etrust antivirus. However:
1) I see in windows/start up that a file called etrust antivirus (57b). Can I safely remove this one?
2) under Program/CA/etrust folder contains files. Can theese be removed?
In case I would like to reinstall the program, do I have to hard reset the device or it simply is in the included CD?
Thank you

Hi,
I just got my MDA II and love it. I've used pocket pc's before but never really got deep into it. I was wondering how, if possible, how to get the .Cab files from .exe's so I can put them in the ext-rom? I want to make my own custom ext-rom but dont have some of the .cab files for certain apps i want in it, I only have the .exe install files. Also...is there a way to save my settings in the ext-rom also? Im away from home and desktop alot so incase of a hard reset Im safe.
Thanks
When you install any program (using a setup program), go, on your desktop PC, to \Program Files\Microsoft Activesync. You will find there folders with the names of the programs you installed, and, in each folder, the related cab file. A few programs install directly in a folder in \Program Files.
thanks for answering.
Or if you are under Windows XP, sometimes you can just right click over the .exe file and select extract, there you will see all the files, including the .CAB ones... :wink:
Hi guys,
I think I don't understand the difference between the desktop (.exe) installation and the .cab installation for a ppc programs....
Is there a possibility to install the program in a dir. of the SD? For example, I'd like to create a dir called "Program files" in the SD.
P.S: How can I change the default location for programs installation from device memeory to SD?
Use cabinst (search on google) to install cabs from PPC to different folders - essential tool!
You need registry tweaks to change the default folder, although this isn't really advisable. See Tweaks2k (i think) for this. But with cabinst, not required!

Thanks!
If I understand well... I have to install at first cabinstl on my Jam and after that I must use .cab installation!!? (I have to copy cab file in to particolar path of SD or?)
Using .exe install is not possible?
The .exes you download from sites wil (almost always) be for installation on the PC. You double click that, that'll load up activesync and install that way.
The other way is to copy the .cab to your pocketpc and double click. That will install, but gives little control over custom folders to install to and will also delete the .cab after install.
However, after installing cabinst you can double click on .cabs on the PPC and install anywhere.

Yeah! With cabinst I can instll app on my own "Program Files" dir in SD...
That's nice but I can't find all the app I have to install in CAB format so... my question is if is there any method to put the files on a specific dir from .exe installation..
Many thanks guys!
if you've got the .exe for the pc, double click it WITHOUT your pda connected. Activesync will load up and you'll get the Add/remove programs screen, saying the program will be installed next time you connect your pda.
Then, on your pc, you have to hunt around for the cab.
I use a program called filetracer to find files, but generally try looking in (I think, I'm not in front of my pc right now) C:\program files\Microsoft active sync\ (or something like that). There you should find folders, eg
\spb\Weather Panel (that's not a real example!).
Dig through there, and you should find eg
Arm_VJStuff.cab.
This is the file you need.
Sometimes you'll get a bunch of numbered files. eg If you see one like
2577_vjstuff.cab amongst other numbered files, the 2577 is the one you want (2577 refers to ARM, the chip in your PDA).
Copy that cab file to your desktop or wherever you want to store it, and copy a copy to your PDA. When you connect up your PDA activesync will ask if you want to install the installation you aborted earlier. Just cancel it.
From there, just install on your PDA with cabinst!
Sounds complicated, but you'll get the hang of it very quickly!
I keep all of my cabs in a folder for installation from hardreset very quickly.

Sounds good!!! :wink:
Thanks!
Can CAB files be safely deleted once the program is installed??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes. The cab file is like the "setup.exe" on a PC and is safe to delete after installation.
Or better yet, what I do is keep all the latest versions of my favorite software in a folder on my storage card in case I need to reinstall or hard reboot or something.
I installed iDialer and for some reason I am not able to uninstall it. I mad the mistake of removing the folder from the Porgram Files folder and I also tried reinstaling and uninstaling many times. now I have many idialer icons in the "programs" menu. Is there any tool available for Windows PC or Mobile so that I can remove unwanted icons and files?
You can use Total Commander (freeware) or even file explorer (whicih is a bit slower than TC). Search for the file (e.g. idialer.*), usually in \windows.. and delete it. Usually it uses the extension *.lnk (try search idialer.lnk)
If it is just about the icons in the startmenue, open file explorer, go to phone:>/windows/startmenue/programs and delete all unwanted files...
afterwards I would recommend to clean up the device by using eg sktools or something similar.
Thanks guys ;-)
I have tried the remove programs, then deleted the directory under program files then removed everything "valhalla" from the registry. No matte what I do it won't install because it says there is a previous install and then cannot remove it.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
