installing tcmp4 on XDA IIi - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General
Hello
I was trying to install tcmp4 on an XDA IIi, i downloaded tcmp4 onto the storage stick of XDA IIi, and clicked on the tcmp4, i get the message
'tcmp4' is not a valid Pocket PC application
i am sure i downloaded tcmp4 onto my XDA Exec in a similar way.
can you guys help me?
hello again
i figured out what to do, rather i remembered what i had done with my xda exec.
it is just the same procedure, get the cabinst file, and use it to install the cab file for the arm version
dear XDA_Guy
installing any application in Pocket PC can be either
1) exeutable file : which extention is .exe
these files (mostly and I say mostly) installable via the PC using ActiveSync program installed.
2) .cab file and these file shall be copied directly to the pocket PC and installed by clicking on them
Most program supplier (or programmers) produced the 2 vesrion of there programs i.e. in Cab and Exe format
the good thing with the cab version that you can keep in the SD card and everytime your hard-reset ( or format ) your XDA your can easly restore the programs from the SD (cab file ) without a computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE : about cab file ... most pocket pc or Windows CE deletes the cab file automatically after installing them.
to prevent this you need to install other cab installation utility / program.
personally I use the attached program. its exe file but just copy it and place it in your my documents or any other location . ( this is exe file but its a pocket pc exe file not PC )

thanks for the reply nasoor
you mean that the cab file version are meant to be installed on sd cards
and the exe version is meant to be installed on the device itself by clicking on the exe while the exe is on the pc?
how do i use the active sync program to install an .exe file? i copied the .exe file to my sd card and accessed it through activesync(explorer) however by only clicking on the file, it only gives me the properties
yes ,
the cab files should be copied either to you SD card or to the Pocket PC using the activesync explorer.
the EXE file should be run directly from the PC not the XDA. the steps are :
1- Put your XDA in the cardle ( holder) which is connected to the USB.
2- wait for the syncronization process to finish
3- go to the EXE file for TCPMP program in your Desktop Computer
4- Run the file and follow the instructions to be installed
5- after finishing you will see your XDA doing some progress and copying
6- You are done enjoy
regarding the cabinstall_en.exe file for cab installation , even this file is an exe file but as I told you before you can just copy it to your SD card and run in the Pocket PC not the Desktop because this is a Mobile EXE file.
I hope you are fine now ..
thanks for the reply nasoor
is there any way to know if a a file is a mobile exe file or is a pc exe file?
actually , without a programmed tool or external tool you can not
I mean , the only way - as I think - is by try executing the file , if the file fails to run with an error messaage says ' The file is not a valid 32 bit application ' then it means that this is for Pocket PC
otherwise , it will run , then it should be ment for the Desktop or Windows XP /ME application
thanks for the reply nasoor
pocket pc's are 32 bit applications?

Converting EXE to CAB for Extended ROM Auto-Install?
Hey Guys, I have been customising my extended rom so when I hard reset I get all the applications I want (Resco file explorer etc). I have been doing this with .cab files fine. The problem is that I have files which are .exe setup files (e.g Flash player 6). These have to be installed on the PC, and the cab is copied to the XDA and run. I would like to just have e.g a flash CAB file to put on the extended ROM. is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom? I know some .exe setup files can be extracted using winrar which then give you the cab file, flash player isnt one of them though. Regards, Jez.

Jez said: is there a way to convert the PC EXE into a XDA cab file, or some way to run the PC exe on the device automatically in extended rom? Click to expand... Click to collapse Use Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) to look for the path where your Desktop Exes are extracted to PocketPC Cabs: Look for this value: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services] "InstalledDir"="k:\system\hardware\pda\imate\ASync" Now, open your Windows Explorer and go to the path. You will find your cabs in corresponding folders (e.g, folder MacromediaFlash shall contain Flash6.arm.cab and etc...) If you need to do more complex restoration, use Restorator tool. It restores your directory and file structure, registry settings, installs cabs, writes boot screens and does everything nice...
Oh my god, you are both bloody geniouses!! This is wicked, cheers guys! Regards, Jez.
Any other ways to xtracting & repacking to cab? Renaming the file format (exe to any formats) & exe xtractor software doesn't work. I can compress any data to .cab, but how to xtract perfectly exe files?
Convert EXE to Cab online without having to download any software If you have an EXE file that you would normaly run on your PC to install a sofware... it looks like this online converter work to have it converted into a cab file for your cell phone!!! try it! 1- first you need to compress your EXE file into a ZIP folder... that will create a ZIP file on your desktop. 2- then you go to http://media-convert.com/convert/ 3- browse on the first field to determine witch file on your pc you want to convert .. select the ZIP file you just created... 4- on the second part of the page you will be ask what format you want to convert your ZIP file to .. on the scrolldown menu select . CAB... and hit the convert button .. the online service will do the rest .. Basicaly will upload your file onto their server , process it and render it to you on a file download link ... There you go you have now a CAB version of your EXE file to upload on your phone with ActiveSync...
My problem how to say... the site is cool ,and i get my file converted. However, the nature of that file hasn't been changed into a cab. it is still an exe. I dunno if i have done something wrong when converting.
How to install Zipped EXE files?
hi guys.. seems like a n00b question..i know but i downloaded some cool apps from handango which are made for Xperia..but i was unable to install them. do i need to use Activesync for such files?...and if yes..i also tried to install activesync 4.5 but it says 'not for Vista' any tips?
exe files can be 1. pda exe's which is not install files but the program itself which you yourself have to copy to where ever you want it and make a shortcut in programs yourself 2. windows exe's which use activesync on xp and Windows Mobile Device Center on vista to copy the cabs to the pda and auto install them in many cases those exe files are self-extracting zip files and one can just rename them zip and copy out the cab files one needs typically the arm one
thanks..i installed Windows Mobile Device center on my vista..connected X1 via USB and done!
really newbie question - install software
hi.. i download a few program for my nike.. all in winzip files.. so how i want to install to my nike? using sync? memory card? tq..
The files inside the zip's should be cabs - extract these, stick them on your SD Card & put back in the phone, browse to the file with File Explorer & just click the file & hopefully it should launch. Some cabs require a reboot after installation so don't be surprised if it asks you to do i
thanks bro.. find some zip file contains exe icon.. but some zip files does't support by winzip.. so cant open it..
.cab - should be open on PPC .exe - on Desktop (sometimes on PPC)
p3600 problem
allmost every thing I install do not open.....how to know is app compatibil?
What ROM do you have? What phone model?
well what are you trying to run form the ram disk? as I uderstand it that is just a flash drive for moving stuff say a file to a friends computer? like a pen drive ram disk? also the file you are trying to run has no programe to run it so I would say its not an exe or cab file so it would not install a programe or run. if you copy a cab file from your computer to the memory card on your phone with activesync then on you phone with file manager go to your mem card and clink on the cab file and it should install the programe. then on your phone look in start programs for the icon of the cab you just installed. in your first screen you are trying to install run a rar file if you dont have unrar or some zip/rar unpacker on you phone then how are you going to unpack it to install run it?????
how to instal exe files without a computer
is there a way to install a file that downloaded as a exe file to my tilt 2 without a computer?
if its not a ppc exe then you need to look for a cab file instead. a pc exe will not run on your phone.
You might be able to extract the .cab from the PC exe on your phone, using 7zip for Windows Mobile.
