CABS dissapear from my minisd why?

Hello everybody.
Whenever I install a .cab from my miniSD card it dissapears from the miniSD card. Why is this? Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.

Thats what WM does. It will remove the original CAB files once you have installed it. To solve this, copy a backup of the CAB file before installing.

Ot make a CAB not delete after running it. copy the file to your SD via your PC and then right click on the file and make it Read only.
Once read only the file will not be delete after being run.

Or just set the file properties to read only using TotalCommander /GSFinder etc. That way you can keep them all on your SD card in case you need to reinstall away from your PC.

bryanz, click on cabinstl.exe. check the option <Do not delete cab file>. The default is unchecked (blank). This solves ur problem

Hi blogg buster, in what folder is that file?
Thanks for all your replies.

cabinstl is a freeware program for WM2003 which lets you to choose whether to install the application to main memory or SD card, (which WM5/AS4 now does itself), and the option to keep the cab, which you can do anyway by setting the RO attribute. So IMHO it's not really needed on the Wizard.

OK, thanks a lot Ineedtoys

Ineedtoys, I think bryanz may be right but from what I gather u are running smthing which looks like cabinstaller. Check from Start>program to see whether u have cab installer. if not, then discard my suggestion. Another way is to use the FIND option from ur file explorer to find "cabinstl.exe" .
Good luck

This little cab will stop all cabs installed after it from being deleted, although it will delete after you use it. It probably is the same as putting a check mark in the cabinstl.exe program.

The only file I can find on my WM5 and 2003SE machines is a cabinstl.dll in ROM, which cannot be run directly. So if you have a "cabinstl.exe", you must have installed the freeware add-on?
Which is largely redundant in WM5 anyway, apart from letting you see or extract the contents of the cab prior to installation.

I have posted on other forums the reverse issue for some people with other WM5 devices.
Kevin Tofel and James Kendrick of MobileTechRoundup have mentioned that on their WM5 phones - Verizon 6700 and Treo 700w, that any installation .cab files that they install are not deleted after the app is installed. I wonder if the above little cab (or something like it) has been installed on some OEM devices.
Any ideas how to reverse this and have the cab deleted for those that don't have the functionality.

There's actually a registry setting that controls this. Here's a quote from a registry tweak thread on Treo Central exlaining how:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
I trialed a 700w for a while and noticed that it would delete cabs installed from main memory but not from SD. I'm wondering if nDynamicDelete = 1 sets this behavior.

how do i stop my cabs from being deleted when i install...

how do i stop my cabs from being deleted on the phone when i install something directly from the phone?! this is so annoying i seen there was a fix on buzzdev but i cant find

Just a wee bit of searching found this in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

Hmm... that link did not seem to answer the question.
Right, the easiest way to stop the CAB from being deleted on executing on the phone is to write-protect it. This can be done from a PC by copying the CAB file off through ActiveSync, then right-clicking, selecting properties and selecting Read Only.
Copy the file back and run it on the phone and it should remain after execution.

Geez, I could swear this is exactly what he was looking for:

If You have Resco Explorer or some, try tap and hold on that cab, than choose properties, and check "read only"

My apologies kyphur, I just couldn't see that piece in amongst all the rest of the information in that post. It's still easier to just write protect the file imho.

The big advantage to using the registry is that the behavior then becomes the default. Now you don't have to remember to make it read-only (all of the Cabs posted here aren't).
When looking at that Wiki Page, if you want to fing Reg Hacks related to Cab files just search the page for "cab" you will find all registry entries known to modify cab file behavior.

so...
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
would be
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe %1 /nodelete'
or..
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe %1 /nodelete

HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
remove the single quotes, basically just add ' /nodelete' (without the single quotes) to what's already there.

aalright ill try that because the one step changing 2 to 0 didnt work

You are reseting your phone and making sure the setting remains in the registry, right?
I always just wait a minute the power down the phone using the power button (which give the OS the chance to clear any cached changes).

neither one worked..
i added a new string of wceload.exe "%1" then it said details or something and i put /nodelete ...did i do it right?

You should not need to "add a string" just edit the default.
This cab file will make the change for you.
Be sure to wait a minute the shut down, power-up.

thank you, im a dumbass lol its been one hell of a day!

Why waste space (even a little) adding functionality that already exists?

Can you check these settings - not sure how they apply to WM6 but presumably something similar:
Change the location of Ringtone file storage
WM5 will look for Ringtones in \Windows\ or \Windows\Rings by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card (example given is for ringtones placed on the Storage Card root folder)
HKCU\ControlPanel\?SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Storage Card\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)To return to the original location:​
HKCU\ControlPanel\?SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Windows\Rings\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)​Note the default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending on your Device provider.

Yep Done That
It didn't work

How to change standard folder for installations?

Hi!
I`m so lucky I found this site and first of all my very regards to the touch-flo developer(s) it works just great on my charmer!
My question is how can I change the standard destination folder when I`m installing stuff?
When executing a cab on the storage card, it always installs to "Program Files" and during installation of an exe via AS the option "always install to standard folder" is not available...
Thanks in advance and keep up this excellent site!
gore

ok since noone is answering this seems to be a simple registry issue, right?
Might anyone just say "yes" or maybe even post the exact location of that value?

SOLUTION: Touch Flo appliation not signed with a trusted certificate

This was user error. But since I saw other people have had the same problem I decided to admit it and maybe this post will help them out.
Problem: Anytime I changed the mapping of the application buttons in Touch Flo I'd then get an error when I tried to use the remapped button. The error stated:
"The file XXXX cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
Where XXXX is whatever I had set the button to be.
The problem turns out to be that in Cube Config I had used the drop down box "Shortcut Path" and just picked the application I wanted. This, for me at least, does NOT work. I had to use the "Browse..." choice and then navigate to the actual executable file.
For example:
I COULD NOT choose "Audio Manager" from the "Shortcut Path" drop down box.
However I COULD choose "Browse..." Then navigate to:
"\Storage Card\Program Files\HTC Audio Manager"
And finally select: "AudioManager.exe"
It is NOT significant that the example I'm posting was on the Storage Card. I had the same problem with programs installed in internal memory.
Hopefully this will help others out.

I found the solution Special THANKS to JZ SmartMort
Following simple steps:
1) Download following file: http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
It allows Registry to be edited from PC.
Run it with working Activesync connection
2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html
Also run with working Activesync connection
3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")
It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
FYI, here are some other useful software packages that relax the security.
