I have had this installed and running fine.
I re-installed it in order to copy the cab files for the extended rom. I sucessfully copied the cab files but it failed to install on the universal.
I have removed it and tried re-installing several times, but each time it gets to putting the cab files on the device it fails.
Anyone else has theis probelm and found a way of fixing?
Thanks
Steve
Have you tried installing the "hey, don't worry about unsigned cab files" cab file? If not, read the thread on cooking roms with files (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36350) as it has a download for the aforementioned cab file.
I would really like to know how you got the cab files though... I've trawled my system and have been unable to find them so far - are they created in a temp location during install and then removed? Your help would be appreciated!
HNY!
If you installed the licensed version of SPB to your host pc, you can find the cab files under the program files\microsoft active sync directotory or just do a search of your program files directory for all *.cab to locate.
Ahhhh! Excellent, thanks! In order to filter results, I was searching for *spb*.cab so no wonder I couldn't find them! Many thanks and a non-denominational Happy New Year!
I made a little CAB file which contains a reg key to prevent CAB files from being deleted after you install them.
Just run this on your K-JAM and no more CAB files will be deleted.
(Although ironically of course it still deletes this CAB file since the change doesn't take place until after the install finishes and this file is deleted.)
Neat!
I store CAB files in zip files, when I want to install anything, just open it and run from zip. This way my CABs are not deleted either.
I think it's enough if you set the Read Only attribute on the CAB file.

my solution is CabInstaller program. simply copy it on your wizard, run it and check two options:
[x] Do not delete CAB file
[x] Associate CabInstl with CAB files
from now on, CabInstaller will popup after every CAB file installation attempt, then just click install and that's it!
I've got my cabs on a storage card, and within totalcommander you can
set the properties of the cabs to "read only",
this works like a good workaround for me, some cabs i want to be deleted,
some not..
I agree^^^. I set them to read only before I copy them to the device and they are fine. If you have something like total commander or resco explorer then you can set the Read Only attribute on the device.
Is there somewhere more detailed instructions on how to create you own CAB files?
I have downloaded WinCE Cab Manager and looked at some CAB files, of how they are made up. Now I see some have setup.dll and setup.exe etc files in them.
I have now collected all my registry settings I want to use in my CAB, but when I put it into the files sections, and run the CAB file on my Jam, it doesn't want to run. Do I need these other setup files in there as well?
For some reason, the .cab I made to fix the QuickGPS issue will *NOT* install. It was made with WinCE Cab Manager like I have made every other .cab file which has always worked.
Trying to install on the Kaiser.
Can someone figure out what went wrong? I'm frustrated.
Thanks...

In my oppinion there is a _setup.xml missing in your cab file. So the installer doesn't know what to do with your file. You should try to make such a file and intigrate it into your cab. The easiest way is to use and modify an existing _setup.xml from an other archiev.
For i do not know which filetype the file you try to install (that is defined in the _setup.xml, too) has i can not be shure. But if it is an dll you have modifyed u'll have to unregister it before modyfying and reregister it before you put it into the installer.
search for "unsigner" and "msigner", for signing dll's
One last hint. I use ZipStar for creating cab files. That is much easier for it has the look and feel of winzip.
this is strictly a reg patch .cab. I've used WinCE Cab Manager for a while now with no issues. I also checked some of my previous cabs and none of those had .xml files in them either so this looks consistant.
I've NEVER installed any of my cabs on the Kaiser so I'm wondering if the issue is the OS. I'll try to install this cab on my K-Jam just to see if it works there. If it does, the issue is a compatability issue.
If I manually create the xml file and create a cab using ZipStar, is that all there is to it or is it going to be missing something? I've never used ZipStar and not familiar with how it handles PPC .cab files. I checked out their website and I don't read German.
Thanks again for your help. I'll give your recommendations a shot.
