Installing a *.cab file in Storage Card?

Doesn't seem like I can install a *.cab file to storage card, when I open it, it will install automatically into main memory\program files
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Use Cabinst to manage your CAB installations.

gr8, cheers mate

regestry change
whit a simple regestry change , it will ask you where to install it: folder,drive....
even if you do an istallation from active sync

And what is this simple registry change ?

Do tell .... don't keep it a secret

what is this change?

ok here it is:
Edit the regestry on the PPC:
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Aplication Installer\
set fAskDest to "1"
if you like
Create the "Pogram Files" folder on the SD card on the root folder,
make sure that you have the ignore_my_docs file in the root driveof the SD card.
I install most of my program on the SD card.

hi alexk,
i m using mini O2. how do go to the registry by the way?
and all the programs can run from the SD card?
Pls advise..
thanks..
Cheers
:lol: Chivas

I use Resco Explorer to edit my registry,
it includes the Resco Registry Editor ^^

alexk > Thanks for this tweak
chivas > If you want a freeware use this one PHM Registry Editor
Most programs can be run from SD card except Today Plugins

What is the benefit of running CAB's from our SD card? In otherwords, I don't have the foggiest clue what happens to a CAB once you run it apart from it installing the program etc.

A cab file is a way to install a progam.
So you can install this program wherever you want.
The benefit to install it on a SD Card is to liberate some RAM

Thanks for that
Why is this forum sooooooo sloooooow

Hi Alex, thanks for the tweak. But what do you mean by those meantioned above ? Are you saying that we can create a "Program Files" folder in SD card and install our program into it? What do you mean by root folder? Do I need to create a note pad file named as ignore_my_docs?

Calvin,
Root folder refers to the highest folder of the drive, the one where all the sub-folders reside... ie on your PC C:\
Be very carefull editing the registry, not recomended for a novice as one wrong move can leave you with a lot of trouble

Thanks for the info. :wink: I think there's nothing to do with registry in these tweak rite? For what I know from others forumer, the Ignore_my_documents file is inside the main memory. It serves the purpose whereby the ppc will ignore the "My Documents" inside the Sd card (if you created one) and only use the "My Documents" inside the main memory.
Same said they have deleted the Ignore_my_documents file in the main memory and therefore they can saved their files (themes and etc) into "My Documents" inside the Sd card in order to save some RAM.
My question is, do we need to create Ignore_my_documents file into Sd card if we are going to do so?

of cause, you need Pocket Mechanic. what do you need it for?

Before you change it,remember:YOU SHORTCUTs MAYBE WON'T WORK!
Use a Reg Editor(like Resco Registry etc.) to find this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\Folder
Change the default value to the name you want.
Soft-reset your PPC
Enjoy it!

thx... i made it

Storage Card
,but now i have same like
"bereitgestellte datentrager" in German,not a Storage Card ?

Im having same kind of problems...
Anyhow: The value in registery shows "Storage Card" but when using file explorer, the real name of the inbuilt Diamond storage, is "Storage Card2". And of course I can't rename it directly because it's in use. Must be a simple solution for this but can't figure this out. Any easy way to correct the name?

Solved!
It had something to do with the new ROM edition I was using and the option to store attachments on a storage card. I uncheck the box "When available, use this storage card to store attachments", deleted the old "fake" storage card folders and did a soft reset --> problem solved huraah!

Is it because there are files already there that need to be overwritten?

Moreover,
there should be a folder named " sd1 " already exist right? And it will come back again even you had deleted it after softreset.... right?
if the answer is yes, you need to do some reg. tweak before you can do anything......
remove your storage card,
1. use reg software (for me I feel more safe for editing the registry) like SKTools...,
2. remove all tweaks that pointed to the storage card, e.g. Internet temp. files, messages...,
3. softreset,
4. delete the sd1 folder,
5. softreset,
6. power off,
7. insert THE sdcard (Prophet will POWER on automatically, and you will find your sd card with the name it should be ~~~
GOOD LUCK ~~~:

"storage memory"

ok here's a question how come when I install a proggy into my card which is the only place I install files and program why does it take from the "storage memory" on my device? I tried to look all over to see if I could find where the programs lie but I cannot any ideas?

It has to install shortcuts, sometimes DLL's and other reference files within the same "device" as the main OS.

Storage card always renamed Storage card 2

Hello everyone,
I'm using French Sunrise rom from Miammiam, posted also on this forum.
And since the last version 2.1 my storage card is always renamed storage card 2 after a soft reset.
I never had this problem with my previous rom Sunrise 1.4, didn't have this problem, but I already encounter this issue on some other rom like Leo rom's, and miri's.
I already tried everything I found on this forum or using google.
As informations I didn't change IE cache path, I'm just storing my emails on the storage card.
I hope some one can help me.
Best regards,

I think that you have a hiden folder called "Storage card" on the root of your device.
rename this folder o delete it then every thing will be right.

Hello,
Thank's for your answer but Event if I delete the newly created folder then soft reset the phone, it change nothing my storage card is again named "Storage card 2".
There is no hidden folder, on the root of my phone I checked it with total commander.
On the other hand after deleting the newly created foler called "storage card" then ejecting my sd card and inserting back the card is again called " Sorage card" but after a soft reset it's again called "storage card 2".
In anyway thank you for your reply.

Try using Resco File Explorer and define there that you want to see hidden (system) files. You may locate an original directory with that name.

I had this problem twice. I my case this problem was probably due to starting up TomTom when connected by USB with my computer.

hey if it aint broke dont fix it...
