Where is the registry file (not default.fdf)?

Hello.
I am trying to find a file with the initial registry plus last modifications or at least an extra file in which there would be additional modifications to the initial registry files. The reason is that I want to put in registry a lot of DLLs (about 32) to make a program work, I can´t do it by hand It would take me years.

In the Kiitchen you can do this by useing a file with the addreg extension.
You just have to ensure, that it will be used...

there are 2 ways in which windows ce loads registry values:
1) via default.fdf, which you can edit using fdf2reg.pl land reg2fdf.pl from my romtools ( this is processed by filesys.exe at coldboot )
2) via mxip_*_100.rgu, which are unicode files, and can be edited with most editors. and which are processed by regupdater.exe
but I don't really know how this works.
but I think you need a registry editor, hmm. which now I look for it, I thought phm regedit would be able to do this, but it is not yet implemented there.
so someone should write or find one.

deleting registry keys automatically within a cab file

Hello professionals ;-)
i have to delete some registry keys during an softwareinstall with a cab file.
Can anybody tell me how to make an installationfile (like *.cab ore something else) deletes some keys in the registry!
whatfor?
i want to install some programs (like pocket plus) and make some configuration during cab file installation. so i looked into the registry what changes when i configurate pocket plus.
as i noticed there where som keys changed i can overwrite with the new values BUT there are some registry keys deleted also. How get them out???
is there any way ??

Have a look at creating a custom setup.dll file to include in the cab file.
You can certainly delete registry entries using it.

I don't know about deleting registry using cab files.
I think there is only options to allow or not to replace a registry key if exists during install.
Here a good link for .cab files Cab files
Apart that you can make your own install from PC to Pocket using RAPI. With that no problem to delete keys, copy files, add new keys ...

want to delete some keys bevore install
Thank's for your tips!

is there more information about this ?
how it works?
how to do?
as i looked at the CABFiles Website this looks very complicated to me ;-(
i am an absolute beginner in developing software!
i need an easy way to delete some regkeys during installation.

I think you can use the excellent scripting utility called nScriptM to achieve your goal. Simply run a search on this in google and you will come across a number of resources including the download location.

Reg edits

Ive been looking for a while on this forum and wish to edit my registry to fix my camera etc..
The reg settings are no prob.. but could somebody please explain to me exactly what i need and how i go about editing the reg.
There was a a .cab file posted that told me to "put this on your phone then run it"(to fix the camera)
how do i run those files?.. i cant seem to find a file manager of any sort on my phone and active sync, although it lets me see the files, will not let me run them.
Any help anyone could give would be great.
I know this will be pretty simple for most people here, but ive only had this phone for 2 days and cant find any simple step by step instructions for doing things like this anywhere.

Check out gsfinder+ as a great free file explorer.
Check out PHM Tools for a free registry editor (there's another as well, called TRE I think).
I use Klimst (?) registry editor. Many people will recommend Resco or Total Commander to do both of these functions.

Thanks for your help.. it seems i totally forgot about the fiel manager there already (duh), and have now found the prog to edit reg settings.
thanks

Any pointers on making an OEM out of cab with setup.dll?

Hello all. I'm looking for some pointers and I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give.
I'm starting to make some OEMs out of cab files, and I've pretty much got that part down. The problem I am having is making an OEM out of a cab that utilizes a setup.dll file.
I have taken a registry snapshot before and after installing one of these cabs, but it is still missing something. Am I just SOL? Does anyone know of an app that will "decompile" the .dll file so I can see the install_exit and install_init calls?
My other option was to modify these cabs so that they have hard coded paths and force them to install without user interraction. Then dump them in /windows, make a mortscript in /windows/startup that will install the cab, delete the cab, then auto delete the mortscript. Does anyone have a better way of doing this?

I do it the old fashion way. Dump registry, install app, dump registry again and then Use windiff to see the new reg entry's. Also grab all the files on the ppc from the cab. (sometimes Setup.dll renames files in cab)
After you do a few, it'd becomes as easy as a regular cab. If you need help let me know.
If there is an easier way i don't know it. I hope there is though.

Need QuickGPS files/install.cab

Hi to all
I had problem with QuickGPs on my Blackstone (it didnt start anymore), so i downloaded quickgps.cab from this post but now quickgps says error after running it so i think this version was not for blackstone intended. Could anyone post for me original files and settings to get up and running QuickGPs without troublesome hard reset ?
Thnx in advance

I've noticed that rom Cookers include quickgps-es in their roms - would someone include one here ?

Ive helped myself and read that i need those files:
\Windows :
CleanGPSData (exe?)
CleanGPSData
GPS-icon (icon)
gpsapi
GPSAux
GPSAux.dll.040C
gpsdriver
gpsid
gpsid_HTC
mxiupdate_PA... (4 files)
QGPS_BUT_L (icon)
QGPS_BUT_L2 (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P2 (icon)
QuickGPS
QuickGPS.Exe
QuickGPS (Htlm file)

I have zipped all gps packages from the oem folder of my 1.19 rom. I will attach it here, just tell me if something is missing. Don't worry about the provxml files, just take the files you need and copy them into \Windows.
But I'm wondering whether a hard-reset would a better solution.

Johnpatcher thnx very much it is working now - the quickgps is starting but i get cannot connect try again later if i try to download gps data - so i am thinking could anyone post the registry settings from a working quickgps blackstone and point me what software is the best to registry editing to change it properly ? If it will work ill describe it to help anyone new with problem like me so we will help each other out

I have uploaded the oem package(s), because they already contain all needed registry data. You'll find the data within the rgu file, for QuickGPS it is:

I'm using Resco Registry Explorer, but thats totally up to you.
However, I'm asking you again: What did you do in order to destroy QuickGPS so massively? Why you don't just hard-reset your device?

1. Quickgps stopped working i thought it was software issue so i downloaded a version mentioned in post #1 - after installing it i finally found that one must delete the xtra.bin but it was already too late.
2. Hard reset will require installing all the software again and for now i got no time for it.
3. I want to invent some workaround method for all the community - for about one year i was only a reader and I got many helpul posts from the forum so if I can help someone - why not
Can i import all the settings to the registry by copy/paste somehow without manually rewriting it ?

With the right editor you can simply import it.
There are really many (free) registry editors out there, just search for them. I think an import function is a basic operation, so it should be included in most of the editors.

All files copied using Resco Explorer - even those he shouted that are in the rom file and registry imported (by the way I recommend ceregedit - one can change registry from desktop Pc - very handy), and still i get quickgps cannot connect try again later - any suggestions - am I missing something ? I switched also the AGPS feature off - should I turn it on ??? What does it do ?
I thought that an original xtra.bin file from windows directory might help - could someone post most recent one ?
