Hi,
have updated my Qtek 9100 to the new ROM.
When I insert a SD-Card nothing happens.
On my SD-Card is a folder named 2577 with an Programfile Autorun.exe.
On the old Version the Autorun.exe was started after inserting the same SD-Card.
Any idea ?
the only time i've seen that directory is after a TomTom Navigator installation. did you install that recently?
Folder 2577
Yes g0nk you are correct - this folder is with reference to TomTom.
For some reason this folder conflicts with Windows Mobile 5 version - the only way to install the program is by accessing the folder manually and selecting the autorun program - it should then install the rest of the application as normal!
No, I use it for myself with mortscript.
I have made a autoinstaller using mortsript which installs certain files when inserting the sd-card.
So it's not the TomTom one.
But still there is a problem with the new ROM (ore the CABs from Qtek).

The old rom of mine had the same problem... i've double clicked the ttn.cab file to install TomTom 5.21..

I just got my XDA II and started installing my software onto it. Noting seems to work! Any software that has more than 1 cab refuses to install, if i look on the device the cab files are there but trying to execute them gives a invalid cab file error - i am installing to SD card, installs to ram seem ok. What am i missing?
maybe your cab files are not for the arm processor?
or not for ppc2003?
it is quite strange for a pocket pc application to have more than 1 cab.
You say they install to ram ok but not to sd card, do the programs work once installed to ram? Many programs have an option when downloading to either have an exe file install or a cab file install, have a look at the sites of the software you are installing to see if that option exists for the programs you are trying to install.
ok, to clarify..Dispite the low number of posts i'm not a newbie - been using and developing for ppc for years...The software all installed ok on my ipaqs(3970 + 5450) both with XScale both with WM2003. I am using activesync 3.7.1, and am leaning towards that being the problem, any thoughts?
you don't need activesync to install cabs. if you copy the CAB to your ppc,
and then click on it in the pocket-file explorer, it should install too.
I'm not trying to install cabs. On my pc i click the install program. That launches add/remove programs in activesync, that copies over the cab files to the ppc which are then executed. If install fails they are not removed. that is how i know they are there.
What programs are you trying to install?
based on a post at pocketpcthoughts in august 2003 i changed my todat theme back to windows default - and guess what - no more install problems! no more directory corruption- should i return my device?
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.
V
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!
Some people tried to install TT5 on their Wizard but could not get ttn.CAB to install. I have found a great workaround on howardforums.com, all credits go to JayTheMagician:
- use win CE cab manager and extract the files (there should be 3) from within the cab ttn on your PC (download WIN CE Cab Manager from http://www.ocpsoftware.com/download.php?nm=cecabmgr
- then create a directory in /my device/Program files and call it 'Navigator'.
- Now copy data.chk and tom tom navigator in here.
- Then create another directory in /My documents, call it 'Tomtom', and copy remaining file called 'currentmap' in here.
This works!!! Good Luck!
Why not simply use the version of TomTom that is WM5 compliant?
Because most people already have TT 5.0 so they need to upgrade to 5.21. In order to do so, they must first get their full install of tt 5.0 working on the new device before they can upgrade. .
I'm not using it. But you won't tell me that TomTom makes a new version available, that can only be installed over a version that is not compatible and not installable? Is there no cab file in the 5.21 update?
TTN5 5.21 install without problems to ppc that not have previous navigators installed (you don't need TTN 5.0 or 5.1).
Only run the exe in your pc to install it, then copy the voice cab file from your original installation CD directly to ppc and install it.
Hi,
I have recently bought a TOm TOm navigator 3 on ebay and have been trying to get it to work with my T-mobike MDA II compact. The software doesnt load on the MDA and gives setup error. When i use the Navigator 5 updates from the tom tom site the software loads but just doesnt start. Everytime i start the software it goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas on solving this unique problem....

Hi can you let me know which 4 Cab files i have to run from the Mem Card. Currently i have all teh files on the Navigator CD. A detail of the setup you used would be of great help... thanks for replying..
To Install:
Copy the CF CARD files and directories to the main directory of your storage card.
from the PPC browse to the storage card and run start.exe to install
follow the instructions in the crack directory
install extra voices.
to force install on mda xda ect
run the cabs below
ttn
gps
wzd
PIMAddIn
THEY WILL BE IN DIRECTORY CALLED 2577 ???
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.

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?
