I've looked and looked but can't find it....am I dumb?? Using a T-Mobile Wing with WM6.
What folder are you looking for? I dont recall seeing any THE "My Midlets" folder..
In WM5 there's a directory: My Documents\My Midlets and I can't seem to find that. Reason I ask is I'm trying to link gmail and Opera to a shortcut on the today screen, but I can't find the .lnk files for each to do so.

Well if it IS possible to link straight to an installed .jar file then you could try to use Resco explorer or something like that to search for *jar files and you'll find the directory you are looking for!
You need to install the midlets with you midlet emulation program, which installs the .jar file somewhere in your Windows directory. I dont think you can link directly to the apps. It will just try to reinstall the midlet, not run it. Perhaps try linking to your midlet emulation app. It will have the shortcuts to all your installed midlets.

Anyone can suggest a good regedit for PocketPC WM2003SE?
I try PHMRegEdit, but looks like it is for old version of PocketPC.
Thanks

Registry Editor
Resco Registry from Resco Explorer, last version 5.13, but actually i still like PHM.
I can't even get PHM Regedit to install on my Qtek S100. Looks ok when I run the installer, but nothing is ever actually installed.
As it is still my favourite I have tried a number of times, with hardresets between, but no success.
I believe PHM registry editor is what we called here a "green" software, i.e. you can just copy and paste the exe file anywhere you like and execute it and it will work. So if you have exe file (e.g. from a former installation, a backup or another ppc), you don't need to install it.
Tried again by getting the CAB file instead of the desktop installer. Worked like a charm!
bamse,
Where you put or run the .cab file?
Thanks.
Arto
nowhere in particular : a .cab file ca normally be executed from anywhere...
Are you using cabinstall ? Because sometimes it conflicts with some .cab files. It doesn't work for instance with the icon .cab file of Agenda Fusion : when you click on this cab file, nothing happens... but it's the only .cab file that doesn't work for me...
Hope this helps...
Just copy the cab file to anywhere on your device. Then on the device, open up explorer and browse to the location of the cab. Double clicking on the cab will install it.

After this you don't need the cab on your device anymore so if it has not been automatically removed you can just delete it.
If it has not been automatically removed it means :
- that you're using CabInstall (because miscrosoft standard installer deletes tha .cab file once installed !)
- or that nothing has been installed because of an error

How about using Tascal RegEdit? I've been using it for a long time.

Tried it when I couldn't get PHM Regedit to install but didn't like it. With TRE you can't even search through the registry, right?
Hi -
This is driving me crazy and I can't find anywhere to answer it (I'm sure it's trivial to most of you).
I copied a game (just the .exe file - not a .cab) into the \program files\games folder. The game icon is in that folder and it runs just fine - from that folder.
How do I get the icon to display whenever I Start/Programs/Games ? I'm guessing that it must be that I did not formally install and register it as a .cab but I am not that familiar with this OS to be sure.
TIA
Thats why it doesnt show up, because it's not installed. One thing you can do is get something like iLauncher and make the .exe a shortcut... and the icon will show up on your today screen.
Thank you! Is there a way to package the .exe in to a .cab file such that it properly registers as a game in to the game folder? Again, let me guess - get an existing .cab file and decipher it and use my .exe instead of the one that's in the .cab? Just a guess.

I have no idea how to make a CAB file... why not just find the game online, download the installer.. install it, and replace the .exe file with yours.
Hmmm.. Not trying to set the cat amoung the pigeons, but I'm not sure you need something installed to have an icon.
A few months back, I downloaded a battleships game that was just an .exe. I copied the exe onto my storage card, then placed a shortcut to it in the Windows/Start Menu/Games folder. When I open the Start > Programs > Games folder the icon showed up nicely.
Sorry, I've got no definitive answer on this, or even anything constructive to add, just concerned that I think you might be heading down the wrong path with the "cab needed" thing.
Ok, cool - I can try that - thanks! Right now it's not on the storage card and the program, not a shortcut is in the games folder in main storage.

I found instructions on how to create a cab file on MSDN (Microsoft Developers Network). Search MDSN for "cab wizard".
As for installing one program, and replacing its exe with another, I'd be careful about doing that - there may be checksums, registry entries, other required system files, etc. which may not play well with the new exe.
In the old days, you could get away with things like that. Today, you don't have a clue what and where a cab file places system entries. There are .ini files, .xml files, etc. involved in a cab file and I wouldn't want to second guess what is supposed to go where. (Open one with winrar and check it out).

How to install the .xml files bundled in the cabs.rar?? I do not know how to make the extrom run automatically after the HR so i have to install each cab file 1 by 1, can anyone help??
Use the ones in cabs2. Also make sure you know what are those .xml for (they are replaced with .cab (s) in cabs2)
xml files are a typicaly a formatted text file like html
not really binary exe programs files
some programs use xml files to store settings and data
maybe they need to be in a location the program in question
will look for them

Did you mean copy the .xml files to the location of the program file ??
use HTCustom1.7.cab
yup...
I am having the same issue. I keep seeing these .xml files. I am not a computer guru lol. Do I cut and paste it somewhere on my phone or what? I am so lost please help.
Same thing here on my side mixtape_butcha. I'm subscibed in an Universal forum and have to install a USB switch which is a folder containing an xml file. I asked many time a guide on how to use it but nothing came back.
If you happen to know how to handle it, let me know. I'l do the same with you.

first of all it is nice that you looked up a matching post yourself and obviously searched for a solution there, but...
if i get your problem right, it doesn't match the ones before. they were talking about .xml files that came with a cab file and stored the settings on how to install and execute.
you, however, talk about a subscribtion to a thread, meaning your xml file is an RSS feed, for which you need a special reader, since PIE is not a proper desktop browser and therefore does not handle feeds. but there is a lot of software out there to handle rss feeds. i personally use spb online 1.2, but there is also freeware, like this: http://www.dewantoro.net/search/pda+rss+reader+cab
i don't get the point with the usb switch though, maybe if that didn't solve your problem you should post further details about that issue and maybe post filenames or screenshots so we all know exactly what you are about to do.
You need not worry to install xml file if it comes with a cab. Cab file should be designed to use it automatically. xml files store usually configurable settings, it may be worth opening those files using any text editor like note pad or even IE to check the contents, that may help if any change is needed. But 99% chances are that you need not do any thing with those xml files.
I have found some people run in to this problem when they download a .cab file from the internet and once downloaded it is a .rar so you extract the .rar to find NOT .cab but .xml
Here is more about it and how to fix it.

I am trying to install a game on my MDA Vario IV , it does have .xml file. But no .cab files , only .000 file , .002 , .003 , and .004 files. How do i install this game then ? The installer is the .xml file.
EDIT : Nvm , fixed it , i needed not the files within the .cab file , but just the .cab file itself to extract in on my mobile.

Couple of things:
You are in the wrong subforum. This section is for the Blue Angel. You should look for the Blackstone (aka Touch HD) section.
Now, the file that you opened is a cab file. You don't need to extract the contents of a cab file. Just copy it to your device and click on it one. The cab will install everything, including the settings in the xml.
Good luck!

Cheers!
thank you kind sir
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)?
