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 All,
With Pocket PC cabs, i can use Win CE CAB Manager to export cab files to a .inf and export the contents of the cab.
Does anyone know how to do this with a smartphone cab file ?
Cheers!
Use cabinst
V
cool, thanks for that
i downloaded it, doesn't seem to operate correctly on my SP3.
seems like it's only a PPC version ?
do you have linkage for a SP client ?
the one i downloaded was v1.04.
Cheers !
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 Guys
Can anyone help me in deploying j2me application into my brand new imate KJAM. I tried out with jar and jad files but of no use can anyone suggest me which files has to be installed to PDA of windows mobile 5.0 Operating system.
What are prc files and is cab files related to J2ME pls let me know this
Thanq
VijayGutta
Hello Vijay,
K JAM is very well equipped with J2ME...however, it will run Universal type of jar and jad files...if u are trying to put Nokoa series40/60 files then it won't run as for the resolution.
CAB files are executbles for PPC for all OS versions and are not J2ME ones.
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!
