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.

Destroying the registry so a given functionality dies, is not the same as enabling/disabling. I doubt these programs have simple on/off switches in the registry, so instead I suggest you reinstall them.
Set a browser such as the Resco Explorer to show files in ROM, then locate and execute the file loadvdisk.exe in the Windows folder. This will give you access to the Extended_ROM folder, located in root. From there you can reinstall what you want. Names of the files you will need are selfexplanatory, the rest you can find a description on here on forum, by using the search function.

Unable to use mp3 file as a ringtone

Hello
I have MDA compact, and does anybody knows how can i set a mp3 file as ringtone ?
Please !!
Thanks

i think it is possible, i tried this in my i mate pda2k try it and tell us the result.
first use rescue registry which usually comes with rescue explorer then open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT THEN MP3 THEN DEFAULT THEN CHANGE MP3FILE IN THE SECOND SQUARE TO BE WMAFILE THEN OK
PUT THE MP3 RING TONE IN FOLDER WINDOWS\RINGS
THEN TRY TO MAKE IT RING TONE
THX

Thanks
This knids hard way, i really dont understand that

Man,u should install a reg editor first.Because u have to modify the registry.

yes
u have to use a rigistery editor program which i gave u the name rescue registry program
then open this program then follow up the steps
it is easy

There is a much easier way.. I have attached CAB file that once installed, will allow you to select an MP3 as a ringtone.. Simply find the file in File Explorer & under properties, select 'Set As Ringtone'

Hey, you don't need to do any registry hacks or stuff like that. Just copy your MP3 file to the /Windows/Rings folder and your MP3 file will be available for selection in the list. It's that easy!
Alternatively, install the following application that will add a new menu option "Set as Ringtone" when you tap and hold on an MP3 file in the built-in File Explorer.

Thanks
Is there no much easier way to do that, i suppose if we assign the ring tone to a contact name i think there should any option you can assign the ring tone to a group and transfer all contact into that group ?
or any other way if some one know ?
thanks

I've tried the CAB method before.But the program will copy the MP3 file to Windows\ring\ It ocuppys the precious and pitiful storage space.
I think a better way is to modify the registry to set the ringtone path to the Storage Card...

Changing Background

I am trying to change the background on an HTC Polaris.
I found the file used in the background in the /windows folder, it is called HTC_Grey. How do I find the registry setting that corresponds to this? Does anyone know where this is called in the registry?

why don't you just go to:
Start menu / Settings / Today
and select the new background you wanna use? =)

Because I added a new file in the /windows folder and want to point the registry to that new file. Anyone know what the registry address is that points to this?

Aas you wish...
If you don't find the registry key that needs to be changed, why dont you just replace the "HTC_Grey" file by yours (using the same name) ^_^
Just a random though since i never tried to do since before =)

[Q] Opera Mobile Automatic Language Deactivation

Hi, do you know is there anyway to use Opera Mini/Mobile in Windows Mobile on a language that's different than the system's language?
I find it quite bothering that Opera don't even offers the setup choice to the user but just automatically switches everything to system's default.
Thanks.

I didn't find it either. So I just checked the file names which were in use for auto-chosen language and overwrote them with the English ones, (which I renamed first of course). Problem solved.

Ok, would you be kind enough to give more details of the operation?
Thanks.

Look into the folders "\Program Files\Opera\profile\locale" and "\Program Files\Opera\profile\bream", make a wild guess which are the files that You think Opera is using for Your language (well, I can't know what that is, right?). If You are not sure, delete the ones that You suspect and if You are right, Opera should give errors when You start it. But please write down which ones You deleted, You need those names. Once You know which are the files, then:
1) rename "en-GB.lng" from "\Program Files\Opera\profile\locale" with the filename that was Your original language file in that folder, and
2) rename "locale-ri-en-gb.rsc" from "\Program Files\Opera\profile\bream" with the filename that was Your original language file in that folder.
Start Opera. Et voila, You have English.
Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button

I was just about to hit it but now when i see it requested i'll just say you thank you in a written way

OK, thanks! I presume You have been successful. The purpose I emphazised the thanks button was actually that I am trying hard to gather those thanks meter points, but I guess now I won't be getting one...
