Hello I recently flashed with WM2003 and have been looking for the Arcsoft MMS application, many that I have tried to download and installed said that its not a valid windows CE file.
Does anybody have a link to an Arcsoft MMS Composer that I can try?
Thanks,
Kidcash
I found this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=225853&highlight=arcsoft+mms
It is version 1.6.0.14, I believe now version 5 is out?, looks like I got a very old verison, but at least it works, the others gave a "this is not a valid windows ce install file" error.
if they were exe files then it that error is typical
user trying to run a pc activesync install file directly from their pda
install files to be run on pda's are in 99% of cases cab and not exe

I downloaded Othman's updates (RUU 3.16.52, RSU 3.23.01), onto a UK O2 XDA. Also downloaded IR COMM program from http://www.ircomm2k.de set it to COMM 2 where my IR port connects to. Then created a standard 9600bps modem connecting to IRCOMM's virtual COMM port on COM 7, and set the control flow to none. It seems to connect (yellow light shows on WModem app) but doesn't get any further than that. In the modem's properties I did a dianostics test, here are the results.

Has anybody any ideas?
PS Just in case anybody else is trying to connect to the internet on a Irish Vodafone/Eircell ready-to-go account here is some info:

Data type: ISDN

Secondary DNS: 213.233.128.19

Still can't get it working, but here's a PDF I came across that might work for those that have the latest 02 ROM (which doesn't seem to be downloadable for some reason)

Hi,
Please let me know where to find Othman's updates (RUU 3.16.52, RSU 3.23.01).
Thanks.
Surprise when will you annouce it?!
Hi Markh,
Please, can you assist.
I have a german OS and like to change to english.
I have followed your explanation and get always the error message:
"error 007: no rom image file
Cannot find rom image to upgrade your PocketPC
Please download and try again"
I modified the 007 to 001 with hex edit.
Try following the instructions at http://www.markhorgan.com/qtek-rom-update/
I haven't come across your problem before, the only thing I can think of is that windows might be locking the ROM file (NK.nbf), save the file and close HexEdit before you continue the installation process, or RUU 3.16.52 might be corrupted - try downloading it again.
Hi,
I followed the steps discribed on the link ( above ).
Its always giving me this error.
I thought It might be because I have german OS on and try to upgrade with an english version.
I tried the O2 Dutch 3.15.15 from their webpage and the 3.16.52 from markh.
I cross checked this by loading the german 3.14.16.ger from the german O2 page. That worked fine.

Hi,
Ive got 5 CAB files which all go together to run a little program i have written, however, when installing them on my XDA IIS every one of them displays the message 'The program you installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows Mobile software'. I think these errors may become a problem when i place it in the Extended Rom folder.
the files are as follows
- OpenNETCF.PPC3.ARM
- MyProgram_PPC.ARM.CAB
- sql.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.dev.ppc3.arm.CAB
- sqlce.ppc3.arm.CAB
Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks,
James
Hi LinQ
The problem is that the OpenNETCF and SQL CAB files were built for WM2003 and _NOT_ WM2003SE. This means that WM2003SE cannot verify that they will work correctly with features such as the screen rotation facility.
To stop your app from coming up with the same message, you need to download the WM2003SE SDK from MS (haven't got a link sorry... but google for it and you should find it) and then target your application at the new WM2003SE device option that you get.
Hope that helps

Socket SDIO WLAN Tools works now! Hanza found out that the smartphone version works on Magneto!
Get it here:
http://www.socketcom.com/support/redirect.asp?URL=ftp://ftp.socketcom.com/wlan/SDIO_WLAN_Sagem.exe
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the Wifi Companion software here
http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=WiFi
I used the cab file (i has a 3 day trail)
Install the Wlan tools en then install Wifi companion.
Softreset and then put your Wifi on with the Commmanager.
The start Wifi Companion and it must work.
I'm still testing if everything is working OK.
So tried it on your own risk.
If you install Wifi Companion alone you get a error message that he is missing files from Wlantools.
If you remove Wlantools it's not working anymore.
Working for me.
French Rom, and no problem.
More graphical and UI based than Cirond that I used before.

First test ... looks great.
But I get the following error on start-up: "ActivateDevice failes, code 964 hex". Could be that it throws that error when WLAN is still in off mode when rebooting. Can I keep the WLAN to autoconnect at startup?
But ... costs 25$ ... that's much for a little utility.
you should be getting the error unless you copied a DLL file to make it a full version (or used the wrong version) :wink:
when using the CAB file it works great, for 3 days
I tried installing the SDIO_WLAN_Sagem.exe but it gives me errors when executing it.
Then I installed the wifi companion cab :
Wi-Fi Companion for Windows Mobile 5.0 Drivers and Software (Advanced Users Only)
Select #1. CAB file for Windows 2005.
1.2 MB
and after soft reset all I got was a blocked popup windows (couldn't see the message)
next thing, hard reset
Using just the CAB file works perfectly.
the problem is that most download an other version and use the wrong CAB file or DLL File.
Just install the software without any extra drivers (do not install the SDIO software, only the compagnion)
PS most DLL files out there are for windows 2003 version and do not work
Hi all,
Having a spot of trouble trying to install anything onto my MDA Vario, I generally search for WM5 software/games and everytime I try to install I get this message.
XXXXX is not a valid pocket PC application
Any clues?
Thanks
Sounds like your installing an exe that needs to be installed via pc using activesync. You can download activesync from the M$ website. The latest version is 4.2 as far as i know.
If you are downloading exe files, try opening them on the pc first. Most of the exe files are installation files that need to be executed from the computer. Some, very few, are actually compiled executables that only have to be copied to the PPC and run from there.
You will also come across CAB files. These files are my preference because you just copy them to the PPC and execute it there, and it installs the files right on the PPC.
Had a problem running activesync, it used to loop my pc when I attached the device. Since then I reinstalled XP Pro OS and reinstalled activesync (probably old version conflicting)
It now works a treat and loads up all my software!
Many thanks
If I install the Windows Update.xml from the XPlode package can I then problem-free my equipment update or can thereby are determined that I no legal WM6 use?
Sorry for my bad English.
tested this function but not new updates are available.
hello!
do i have to install those included XML-files in explode's cab pack as well?
how can i install XML files....?
pleas help!
thx,krz
The readme file xplode put into the archive has the instructions.
or everyone can use cabs2.rar
so if you have both cabs.rar and cabs2.rar you will have in one place a cab for installing mms and a cab for enable it in messaging app, a cab for installing windows update and a cab for import server settings for update (enable the capability of update), and a cab for windows mobile device center under windows vista (some settings about manifacturer - t-mobile and model mdaiii, support link, high res BA icon). So you have no more xml files, i created cabs from them for easy install

okay! lets see if i got that right! if i use the updated cabs from cabs2.rar, the XML files from the original cabs.rar become obsolete, right?!?
very cool, thx guys...
yes you understood me right
I have installed both cabs, but when I try to search for updates it says "connection to the update server was not available. Check your data connections and ensure the date and time are correct."
I have done this, but with no luck???
you did not install the WU enable cab, or the instalation was unsuccesfull try to install it again
