I created an app (and associated CAB file) using VS2005. I copy it to my Windows Mobile device and then double click the file on my device, and after a few seconds it says that it was successfully installed. However, I can't find it anywhere. I go into Programs and I don't see it. Any ideas?

Did you "tell" in VS2005 where the programm has to be installed?
Please post the cab file so we can take a look at it....

Anyone know what files/have the files necessary to put the Java Virtual Machine back on the T-Mobile (US) MDA Load?
Its on the SDA but not the MDA - and this sucks!

Just a simple .lnk file to \Windows\Jmm.exe. AFAIK, the intent Midlet manager comes with all HTC Wizards pre-installed; it's only the link file that is missing.
You can also download this link file from http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/MIDlet Manager.lnk
Nope - the FILE is missing! And copying it over from a SDA (which has it) doesn't help - it won't run (may be different link options or somesuch)
It appears that T-Mobile whacked it out of their ROMs! Anyone got a copy of that I can try dropping in there?

http://www.winmobiletech.com/sekalaiset/jmm.zip - give this a try. Unpack it to \Windows. Let me know if it works/doesn't work.
WORKS, kinda.
It comes up but won't load the GLM software. Not quite sure why.... looking at that now.
Update - says it failed to run image \windows\target.img
Looks like there's one file missing in that archive.

Well it comes up now - GLM fails to load claiming the JAR file is invalid, but the Java Virtual Machine starts without error.

What JAR file is that? Midlet manager is only able to run non-device-specific midlets - that is, NOT Nokia/Sony-Ericsson etc. specific ones. With other stuff, it'll report about invalid JAR files.

Its the Google Local Generic MIDP 2.0 version off www.google.com/glm.
Runs on the SDA, but refuses to load on the MDA. The VM IS running now though.... thanks.

OIC... the generic MIDP2 version works great on my Qtek 1.6.7.1 ROM.
Leave it to T-Mobile to cripple the damn thing....
I've also been playing around with getting java on the T-Mob US MDA. I didn't have the benefit of an SDA, but on the ftp site I found various extended roms for the Wizard. Specifically on the 'O2 Mini Asia Exteded Rom...' I found a .cab that installs the jvm/midlet manager.
The program itself runs just fine, and installs and downloads the .jar specified in any jad file I execute. The problem comes when I try to run a program from within the Midlet Manager. What I get is:
Error
Failed to run the MIDlet
This happens with google, Opera and another program I want to run. Is this the same error you are getting?
The O2 Mini is a Wizard - correct? Could there be something else in the ROM that needs to be installed?
Anyone have any ideas?
No, I'm getting an error trying to LOAD the GLM site from www.google.com/glm.
It appears to load, goes through all the motions, and then complains about an invalid JAR file.
I don't have any JARs handy I can load off a local SD card to see if it will work with those. I'll look around for some....
So you are getting an error already when trying to download the app from Google? I don't know how familiar you are with J2ME apps, but they typically consists of 2 components. A .jad file which is a simple text file that describes some properties of the app and a link to the actual app.
The point I am at I can successfully go to the Google/glm site and select the Generic Advanced app, agree to terms and then I click to download. Once I do that PocketIE asks if I want to save or run the .jad file. I then select to run it, and it kicks off the midlet manager. Then the midlet manager will download the .jar file and it is available in the manager with icon and everything. Once I click on the Google or Opera icon to launch the J2ME app I get the error I described.
If I understood correctly it seems you haven't gotten this far yet?
Correct. I cannot load the application - it is transferred but the JMM application refuses to install it.
I suspect a registry difference here - and if we find it, we may have a working solution.
Well, I would have thought that the .cab I got from the other extended rom would create all the appropriate registry keys to run the program. At least jmm works and downloads the jar.
I have no idea why it won't run them though. I also used LokiWiz to unlock the device, and after that I had to reinstall the jmm cab because the device complained that jmm.exe was not signed/authorized.
I see that some keys have been created in HKLM\Software\Tao\. I have attached them here.
It may be a file association for the .JAR type....
After looking around a little in the registry, I can see that there are a lot of keys created. I think it will be difficult for you to manually copy everything from the SDA. There are entries for the right extensions, but there is one more interesting one that I'd like to see what is in the SDA (or any Wizard with Java capabilities) \HKCR\CEJavaVM. On my device it is empty.

That key is not there at all on the SDA nor on my MDA.
There are several file associations ("Jarfile" and "Jadfile") all of which look ok......
Works on a Cingular 8125
Do it works on a Cingular 8125, however, how do you get to Midlets after you install them?
EDIT: I just need a .lnk file to the JMM.

in paticular i want the cab file for MorphGear. how do i do this? I have tried using cabinst but that doesnt seem to do anything
Some ".exe" are extractable with a soft such as "Winrar" :wink:
if that doesn't work then try the following.
1. Remove app from you computer and device
2. Disconnect device from comp
3. Run exe for app
4. When you see the message "this app will be installed on next sync" go to start---search
5. look for *.cab that was created or modified today and is less than 1MB (change file size to whatever value you think is appropriate)
Problem is..
I cant get activesync to work, hence needing the cab file to install morphgear :-(
So I dont think that will work
Any other ideas?

Can you install Activesync tho, dont have to sync just get it to install. If you can than run the morphgear.exe and after it says it will install on the next sync, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\ and you will see a Marat folder, the .cab is in there. It will almost always make a new folder and put the .cab of the program you are install into the Activesync folder, if it is not there than it created its own folder under Program Files and the .cab should be in there.
Just because im bored I downloaded this MorphGear.exe
http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/155967-7256/MaratSetupPPC2003.exe
And have attached the .cab that was put into my ActiveSync folder for you.
wow thanks that was very nice of you!
i checked that folder and there was about 10 different morphgear files that id been messing about with! And they worked! Well chuffed i am
Is anyone playing gameboy games on it? On the website listed in the first post the module (MaratSetupPPC2003.exe) leads to an invalid link. But i found it on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=904167&postcount=5 i installed it but it only wants to see snes roms
I know people use total commander but I have no idea how to use it. Is there an easier way? Or can someone explain to me how to use it to copy over some files to my \windows\ folder?

Just use Resco Explorer. It's not freeware but is a great application with the ability to overwrite protected files and has many settings to play with.

Select the file you want... Click file... Select Copy/Move... Click Tree to select where you want to drop the file.
I found this at this page, and it works for me about 90% of the time.
Download EnableRAPI and extract all files from the zip archive.
Double click on EnableRAPI.bat and leave the DOS window it launches open
Open Folder Options and choose to "Show hidden files and folders" and de-select the "Hide protected operating system files" option.
On Windows XP, this would be done by launching Windows Explorer and clicking on Tools --> Folder Options and then the View tab.
On Windows Vista, this would be done by going to Folder Options from the Control Panel and then clicking on the View tab.
Connect your device to your PC using ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
Browse the device's file system using the File Manager tool in ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center.
When you have finished making all of your modifications, close the EnableRAPI DOS window.
I'm not sure what this actually does, though, or why it works.

I tried that, it doesn't work. I'm using a Blackjack II running WM6.1. Does anybody know why it doesn't work and how to copy files into the windows directory?

You are posting in the wrong forums. However, your question is rather generic. I find it best to use either Resco Explorer or TotalCommander (as well as ActiveSync of course).
As the title says... Oh, and .exe files too, I can't seem to run them when my HD's plugged in... :/ Don't know what to do, to install games at all...
put them in your phone folder (any foldler) then explore this folder on your phone with file explorer an click on the cab to install.
Is File Explorer a 3rd party app? Haven't seen it on my device before...
EDIT:
Oh! Found it! Hehe ^^' It's just a different language on mine, and didn't really notice it... Thanks!
The easiest way to do that is a little application (91 KB.) called "WinCE cab installer.exe", that installs a cab from the desktop to any device connected via active sync or WMDC.

File explorer should be standard on any wm device, its the yellow envoloppe with the magnifyingglass, you might have to add it to your programs tab
Just use that and navigate to the folder you have copy the .cab to. Then all you need to do is tab on the .cab and it should install itself, just like a .exe or .com file.
To install .exe all you need to do is click on it(from your pc) and then turn on active sync while connected to your pc.

This actually makes a lot of sense as it saves the extra effort of copying to- and navigating on the phone. I googled a bit for it but non of the downloadlinks are working (4 me). Can you show us where you got it (or upload it somewhere)?
when I download the files, I don't have cab files. For instance, I downloaded the CHTEditor. It downloaded as a zip file w/ the .cab extension. when I click it to unzip, there are no cab files. Just some kind of file w/ the little windows icon next to it. Is there some way to download the .cab file for editor (and all the other files that do this to me) ota?
I think you are in the wrong forum. It's not a HD2 problem but a windows problem. Maybe a Mod will move your thread to the right forum.
if you "run" a cab on your pc it opens like a zip. instead copy the whole cab to your phone and run it.the phone sees it as an installer.
