Add an exe file to the program group - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Is it possible to add an .exe file to the program group and in that way make a short cut to it. (The .exe file is not installed, but simple copied to the phone).
If not it is only possible to run the .exe file from the file explorer
/Michael

you can make shortcuts with totalcommander and paste them to /windows/startmenu/programs
then u'll see the linked exes in the program list

Voice on TOMTOM 5.1

I got everything working....except the voices....
Help help help help
Luis
thnaks for all help
I think you might be having the same problem i did for a while. I knocked up a seperate voice installer to put the voice files in the right place. feel free to give it a go.
helo . is this the portuguese voice ?
'fraid not, it's the english one.
I dont now how to do a ´cab ....can you do for all of us Portuguese guys..??
You can edit his file with wince cab manager! and drag the voice files you want installed in this cab
Ok.. but where i put this cabs ???
In the CAB files, you'll have a file called dataXX.CHK. Put that file in this folder on your device:
Code:
\TomTom\TomTom
for version 5.10, it has to be under that full path.
for version 5.00, it has to be under \TomTom.
I believe it's a typo in their software, but that's the only way I got any of the voices to work.
Just create a folder called TomTom on the root of your device, then create another folder under it also called TomTom. Finally, copy your CHK file into that folder. You can also copy the dataXX.BMP and dataXX.VIF files into that folder, but that's optional.
That's it!
Strange...i belive that i need a folder voices....
1. download wince cab manager
2. open voice**.cab with wince cab manager
3. open files in this voice cab
4. extract data**.chk out of the cab, by dragging it to a new folder
5. determine which *.vif file (also in the folder voice on your cd) is linked to your voice**.cab (in your case porf.vif (female) and porm.vif (male))
6. rename the porf.vif or porm.vif file to data**.vif (** is the number of the voice file) and copy he file to your new folder
7. open tintoy.cab
8. open files in this cab
9. drag data**.chk and data**.vif into this cab
10. save tintoy's cab file
11. execute this file in your pda
you can also make a folder voices and put the chk and vif file in there
\voices in the root of the device

Extract .dll from .cab

Excuse me for beeing a newbie, but can't seem to fin any way to extract the .dll and .gif files from a cab file. For example I downloaded CrossbowPhonepad.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=292014&highlight=media+player+skin
But I'm not quite happy with the way it looks and I would like to start to play and alter with it. But when I extract the .Cab file all i get is strange .012-fil and so on. And of course the .XML file where you se how the .dll and .gif files shall be installed.
How to I extract them (.dll and . gif) from the .Cab file??
I'v tried Winrar, Winace, Total commander.
Please Help
the simplist way
Have you tried cabdump.pl (it can be found on the XDA-Wiki, main wiki page->complete tool list -> RomTools->cabdump.pl)
But I've found the simplest way is to install the cab on your device, and then copy the files you're interested in to your pc.
There is an excellent, easy to use program called MSCEInf that allows you to work with CAB files, including drag and drop extraction of files - with their original names - from CAB installation files. It's available here:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/msceinf.shtml
It's developed by a Frenchman named Benoît Thonnart.
You should also try WinCE Cab Manager.
But generally WinRar works fine. The files in the cab are simply renamed to 8.3 convention with extension showing the file number. Extract the xml and you will see what name belongs to what file. Just extract and rename.
Thanx gues...that really helped

Any App For Changing .Exe to .Cab ? ? ?

is there any program to convert .exe to .cab ?
i don't want to use pc for installing files like that .........
what i do,.... use the exe in your pc without the pda,... activesync will try to install the app in the ppc,... dont't touch it....
Go thru my pc to the folder where activesync is installed,... there you will see one folder named usually like the app you wanna install,... open it and you will see the cab ,... done....
Excuse my english ,.... thanks
I've never tried it myself, but presumably the CAB file is just wrapped up in the installer so you can probably open the EXE using something like WinRAR and just extract the CAB file from it yourself.
There is no general solution for this.
In most cases the CAB files are inside an installer EXE. The possibility and effort to "extract" the cab varies depending from the EXE (there are many different packers and installers on the market).
Some of them can be opened with packers like WinRAR or 7zip, others can't.
There is one thing they all have in common: the CAB has to be (temporary) installed onto your harddisk. This might be under "Programm Files\Software Vendor\", ActiveSync directory or an temp directory, for example "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp\<subdir?>" in Windows XP. In some cases the CAB will be deletet when the setup programm ends.
So, unfortunately, there is no generic method to extract the CAB.
open the exe in winrar or a similar archiving program and look for the cab (probably a jumbled up name, though still has the .cab file extension)
just extract the EXE using winrar and copy the CAB file in there to your mobile device.

What is an easy application to convert .CAB into .EXE files?

Is there an app for this?
you can use this to extract the files and registry within the cab (usually giving you an .exe) but for most programs they won't work unless you copy over all the files into the proper place and add the proper registry values.
that being said some files will have just a .exe
