Install to storage card\prorgam files ???

hi there,
is it possible to install programs via async to a specific folder on the storage card?
e.g. the software spb time can only be installed to either the standard folder (program files in main memory) or to spb time to the storage card.
i'd like to have all programs on the storage card in ONE folder.
any chance to do that?
thanks

Hi,
You have to change a bit Registry of your device. You can easily do it with Resco Explorer Registry Add-In or other editor.
In HKLM\SFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer find a Key fAskDest and change it's value from 0 to 1.
Also uncheck on your Desktop Pc option Install programs into the default installation folder.
Now, when programs installs, it will ask (at screen of your Magician) where do you want it to install, including selection of existing folders and destinations.
Best regards,
Evgen

Uable to UNHIDE the Extended_ROM after JJ ROM Upgrade!

I upgraded today my O2 to the latest JJ ROM (1.30.76 WWE)
Now I noticed that WITHOUT running the Extended ROM unlocker (like I need to my previous O2 ROM). I am able to access it through TotalCommander and delete and put files in there, so it's not locked.
BUT I am unable to Unhide it so it would appear visible to the system.
Here the changes I am trying to make (The did work on my previous ROM)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS_G31"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="ExtendedROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="SD Card"
I emphesize the fact that reading and writing to the ROM with total commander does work fine. But why can't I see it anymore in the filesystem

Have you tried running the unlocker/Unhider? I have run that under the new imate ROM, this is the one that pops up with a window to reboot TWICE. Then i soft reset via software (not reset hole) and it works.
Total commander can see ExtendedROM even if you dont unlock or unhide it. You just cant write to it i think if it is not unlocked.
You have to un-hide the partition though so it will come out as one of the options when installing programs.
May I ask why do you need to unhide it?

Hi Jorgee,
Yes I did just that I ran this 9k cab which asks you to reset the device twice. Then I used a software soft reset (xpShutdown) . still nothing.. the extendedrom is accessible and writable but still hidden.
The reason I would like to unhide it is obviously to install programs on it just like i did before the JJ rom upgrade which i did yesterday.
Thanks

Can you go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS and list the keys that begin with TrueFFS?
Next as you appear to have a registry error, could you actually list what is in your registry for the keys you have posted above, rather than simply pasting these values into the post?
Thanks

Thanks dah54,
but problem is just now solved.
This is the problem: DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS_G31"
Ot should be TrueFFS1 and NOT as it appears TrueFFS_G31. I think the cab sets this value incorrectly. anyway i manually made the change and now it works!

I had the same problem after upgrading to the lastest Orange ROM for M5000 I just follow your registry changes not I have Extended_ROM2 appears, when exploring files.
Is ther a way to only see Extended_ROM without 2 at the end?
Good job

Just rename this to anything you like.

I use QTEK_FILESTORE on my device.....
So when I install, i have 3 choices.
1. Device
2. QTEK_FILESTORE
3. Storage Card

Here's a CAB
Here's a CAB which makes the correct changes. I copy it to my \Extended ROM so that \Extended ROM is visible after every hard reset.

Autoinstall a set of CABs (possible?)

Hi, i have updated my device to the mr. clean image.
Now i have to install all software. So i create a folder on my storage card with all necessary cab files.
Is there a possibility to have them all be installed with one click? For example to create a Batch to install them one after another?
Hope not to ask silly questions.
TheGulOfDedra

try this;
example;
This '\Storage Card\2577\autorun.exe' is an official M$ way of autolaunching programs from SD card, well described in MSDN...
If you put calc.exe into this folder and will rename it to autorun.exe, it will be automatically launched upon inserting this SD card in. So your calculator will pop up...
make a folder in the root of the sd card called [2577] put the cab files into the folder ,reboot the device .it should install,
alternative; use the autorun from the extended-rom to launch the files.you my need to do some editing intiothe config file.

Thanks - how can i "see" the extended rom? Editing a config file is no problem for me.

use "TOTALCOMANDER"
download ,install then open the prog ,write the folowing in totalcomander,[extended_rom] now you should see the contents of the extendedrom,you can use totalcomander to copy any file to any location.
download from here; http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm

thank you very much to all

Problem is...all your CABS will be installed to their default installation directory (mostly Main Storage).
What I would like to know is how to make all CABS install to the Storage Card or a directory specified in the config.text?

ReLoad v0.1 Beta

ReLoad
This is a MortScript script written to simplify reinstalling cab files, and restoring files back to the device from a zip file on the trinity.
More information about MortScript at http://www.sto-helit.de
-v.01 Initial Release
Known Issues
-Cab files that initiate the installation of another cab file ie.Wisbar Advanced
-How to setup:
1)Extract Reload.rar to your storage card.
2)Place cab files in the CabsAuto folder if you want to the cab to be automatically installed to the device (installation to automatically install to the storage card is currently not available).
3)Place cab files in the CabsManual folder if you want to be able to choose where to install the cab.
4)Place file in the Backup.zip file that you want to be restored.
ie. If you wanted example.jpg to be placed in the \Windows folder, place example.jpg in the Windows folder of the zip file.
*Please note that the cab files placed in the CabsAuto folder need to conform to only asking the user for the installation destination, then showing installation successful/unsuccessful. Otherwise you might encounter some
problems. You should place cabs that don't conform in the CabsManual folder, or adjust these cab files with programs such as WinCE CAB Manager.
-How to use:
1)In the Reload folder, execute Run1st. Click ok the the window that pops up. This just installs MortScript
2)Execute Run2nd. This will initiate the script that will first install the CabsAuto, then CabsManual, and finally restore the files in the zip file.
Use at your own risk.

Thx, that's a good idea.

is there a way to have it restore registry entries from a .reg file?

Is there a way to install certain cab files on RAMDisk/Storage card without individually clicking the install option??

@racerx_
Currently there isn't a way to restore the reg file directly. But you can create a cab from the reg file and then have that cab automatically installed.
MortScript wasn't able to read in the reg files i saved with resco explorer, so I gave up on doing it this way. For right now the easiest way is to create a cab file with WinCE Cab Manager.
@c_shekhar
The best way to install the program to the Storage Card, backup the reg (and any possible files installed on rom), then create a cab from this.
This post has alot of good information on this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277727

yeah, i've been trying like a madman to get win ce cab manager to make a cab of my .reg file.. but when i click on 'import' and try to grab the .reg file it tells me it's only for registered versions of the program.. is there another way i'm not seeing? cause right now the only other options i see for registry entries is to manually create them one by one which doesn't sound very exciting hah
thanks for the help..

@racerx
What OS and version of WinCE Cab Manager are you running. I heard of some problems with the newest version of WinCE Cab Manager with Vista. I am running version 2.1.0.35.
If that isn't it, you might have run the program past its initial trial use.

hmm.. Win Ce CabManager is 2.1.0.50 running on xp.. still got 17 uses left.. sigh..
Maybe i missed something. Just in case, what button or command are you using to get your .reg file into WinCE? I was using the 'file' 'import' command.

@racerx
That's the same way I do it. I would find an older version and try it again.

Reload V0.2
I made a couple of changes to the script for a rom we are going to be releasing soon...it checks if Backup.zip exists and only does the unzip if it does...I also added a SDBackup.zip for files to unzip to Storage card (specifically exe's and dll's I've already upx'd to shrink them but reinstalling the cabs replaced them again so this puts them back)....

Very good soft, it works nice !!
The only difficulty for the french users is to replace in the script "Storage Card" by "Carte de stockage"
Thx men for this !!!

Nice soft,
I could use FAMAN WM6 on my trinity now !
French translation and modification is (seem to be) ok.
Just wait the OK from the boss and I'll give you !
Edit : Why don't you use the LOCK:Enabled in the header and LOCKDisabled on the end of the config file ? Thxs in advance.

I use SettingsSavior on my Trinity mainly for its similar auto-install functionality

Hello,
Thank you for this very useful tool
My .cab are removed after using Reload. How can I keep my .cab on my SD after a new installation ?
Thank you for your help.
Guillaume

Moving Mail and Attachments to Storage Card

Hi
The attached file makes necessary registry changes to move Mail and Atachement storage to SD Card.
There have been a few cab installers available to perform a registry change, enabling storage of both Mail as well as Attachments on the Storage Card. However these solutions have the "Storage Card" hard coded as destination, which means if more than one partitions exist on Storage Card, manual changes would be required to the registry to use another partition. Another way is to have separate cabs created for each partition. Another problem is that on some devices the Storage Card is named as "Memory Card" (I've seen this on on my O2 Atom Exec), hence again manual registry changes are required or a custom cab needs to be created for these devices.
The attached cab installer tries to overcome above mentioned limitations. During the installation "Device" and all the available Storage Card Partitions are listed and user is asked to select the destination. The registry changes are performed accordingly to enable Mail and Attachment storage on the selected partition or Device.
The cab creates following registry entries under "HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings" :
- PropertyPath = <destination>\Mail
- AttachPath = <destination>\Mail\Attachment
where <destination> is the option selected as destination while installing the cab.
Uninstalling the application from Add/Remove programs should restore the old values (if any) of the above registry keys.
The cab file has been tested to be working fine on WM6.1 and should work fine on WM6 also. WM5 requires different registry entries and the attached cab does not work for WM5.
Please let me know if anyone find this useful

I just installed this on my Verizon XV6900 with Windows Mobile 6.1. All I can say is, Awesome! Thanks for this. I love the automation of it. Seamless. And providing the uninstall is also nice. Just installed, powered off, then back on, and all is well. Do you think you might also be interested in doing the same thing for Internet explorer temp files, favs, cookies. Maybe make the folder it creates be called "Internet". I had a file before for my Moto Q9m that made a bunch of things store on my storage card and I loved it. It really kept my phone running very fast, as it didn't use up main storage. With my old phone, I had 5000+ emails, alot of favs and such. I loved the fact that I could wipe my phone out any time, and then re-import the reg changes to point back to the storage card for all my stuff, and I was right back up and ready to go with all my files.
Thanks Again!
