Hi guys,
Just got my new Touch Diamond on Thursday and so I'm trying out all the awesome software on here! Except I can't...
I've installed Advanced Config, GSen, and Diamond TF3D Config. I've tried to install:
-DiamondHologram
-TomTom 7 for Diamond (TTN_7.450.9028.cab)
I just get a notification saying "Installation of name of cab was unsuccessful".
I haven't done any ROM upgrades, unlocks. I have only installed the new Google Maps 2.2.0.19 and the .NET 3.5.
Is there any reason why I can't install these applications? It's doing me nuts because I can't install half of these wicked apps!
Thanks guys
James
Can anyone help? Please?!?
Same here... and i'm going mad. Seems this issue affects random cabs. I succesfully installed your same TomTom version, but I can't install G-sensor Calibrate, or even TotalCommander...
I tried to update to Project V3.3 but issue is still there with the same cabs.
Any ideas?
I also tried disabling security warning by using Schap's Advanced Config. Nothing changed.
random
as you said it is a random effect... same prb here.... but i saw something odd...
i downloaded a cab with opera installed on htc and selected "open" when it asks what to do with the file... download complete but instalation unsuccessfull.
i've downloaded the same file but saved it on the storage and after that i installed... and surprise it worked! maybe it is a memory prblm.... i don't know!
this method does'nt work with every cab
Weird thing! I re-downloaded two cabs, moved to diamond... installation succeded. But i still not know if it was because of corrupted cabs or a Diamond problem.
Anyway I'll try to do a simple cab corruption check (try open the cab with a compressor like 7zip wich is free) for the next cabs.
Just for ask: did you download your "cannot install" cab with a download manager?

no... just using opera from the diamond
Same problem here... I have some CABs which dont fail and some which fail... Very anoying problem
I confirm i solved my problems by downloading WITHOUT any download manager or download accelerator all cabs on my pc, then check them with 7zip, then copy to my Diamond and install.
It's a bit strange way to get cabs installed but it's a safe method.
You can also choose to use download managers or download with your pda to download cabs, but you have to check them later if they don't install and... re-download them.
I also found solution which someone could explain....
I upload all SW using active sync and not USB drive and all what was not working now works.
So what is wrong here?

I have the same problem when the device - an o2 XDA Diamond - is connected in "Disk Drive" mode.
Whenever I transfer files from a Windows Server 2003 system (w/o Service Pack) to the "Internal Storage" of my Diamond the files become corrupted on the device.
This happens with any file type, but only with larger files - they become corrupted when they are several megabytes in size.
This doesn't happen randomly, it happens every time.
Reading large files from the "Internal Storage" works without problems.
When I transfer the very same files from a Windows XP system then they are OK on the device.
Also when I transfer the files in "Active Sync" mode the files are OK, but the "Active Sync" transfers are randomly aborted and the sync is lost.
I knew I'm not the only one with that problem, but I never found any information.
The ROM is the newest official one, 1.93.207.2.
Of course the Windows Server 2003 system transfers large files to other flash storages - camera, card reader and other Pocket PCs - without any problems.
My only advice is to transfer the cab to your internal storage using disk drive option the disconnect your Diamond and see if that works. e.g navigate to the cab using diamond file explorer then double tap on cab should install ok then
Sorry, doesn't work for me, but I thought that it was clear. (Because I wrote all info, like Service Pack, etc.)

You dont understand this... The file is corrupted while transfering via USB Drive but OK if we use ActiveSync... We know how to install CAB files. there is not problem.
BTW, I have Win2000 so it might be same as mentioned 2003...
I will try on another system and see how it works.
I just installed Windows XP SP3 on my machine: SAME PROBLEM!!
thedino, what mainboard do you have and how old is it and what is its USB version (1.0, 1.1, 2.0)? I have a K7S5A with USB 1.1.
For now I have to assume that HTC produced crap and that I'm gonna send my Diamond back.
I bought an USB card for PCI and there is no problem when connecting the HTC Diamond to this card.
No data corruption at all.
So obviously it must be something with onboard USB chipsets, but it's definitely a problem on HTC's side,
else these onboard USB chipsets wouldn't work correctly with any other USB device.

I had the same problem (either "installation unsuccessful" or just gets stuck during installation). I was using changescreen v2.5 for handling the display rotation. Apparently this software has a conflict with the .cab installer. It was enough to disable changescreen, then run the .cab, then re-activate changescreen again.
Hope that this helps.

Temporary Fix
Try this
Rename the cab file with a different extension, eg TotalCommander.cab to TotalCommander.txt. Do this on your computer.
Select the file within Windows Explorer and do the usual "Edit -->Copy" to copy the file.
Establish ActiveSync connection with your Diamond and using "File Management" select the Internal Storage of your Diamond. Then select "Paste" to paste the file into the internal storage of your DIamond. Rename the file back to having the .cab file extension by using the explorer shell you opened through ActiveSync.
Unplug Diamond from the USB and ensure ActiveSync on your Diamond is not active. Using file explorer program on your Diamond tap on the cab to install it.
The only alternative is uninstall all extra apps you have put on one by one and try to install other cabs as some of these may conflict with the cab install OR you can update your ROM from the 1.93 series to the 2 series.
Let me know if this temporary fix works. Best of luck.

i've tried to install AIM... and a webcam program.. both of which install through active sync.. however everytime I try I get the following message on my phone...
"Installation of (whatever).CAB was unsuccessful." and that's about all I get.
Also whenever I connect the phone to my PC is says it's unable to successfully syncronize and asks me to reconnect the device.
MS's support site has been less than helpful... any help you all can give would be greatly appriciated....
Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?
Hi,
Couple of things you might consider / try: -
Establish an activesync connection, then use the "explore" button, navigate to your staorage card, and manually copying the .cab file from your pc to the storage card.
Then on the treo go to file explorer, storage card, and run the cab from the card.
The other thing is to check that you're using activesync 4.1 or later - updates are a free download from MS.
Hope this helps
Angus
Thank you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately i've already tried copying the CAB files straight to the device and launching them produces exactly the same result.
I'm also already using Activesync 4.2 latest version.
Is there anything else I can try?
judging from your sig, you're using a pretty old rom version... I would definitly upgrade it and then give it another go...
I have installed this on my xda2i previously with no problem, however when I try to install it on to my exec it gets as far as connectin with the device and I get "Microsoft has encountered a problem and will now close" etc..
I can install other programs without any problem.
I get the same if I use my laptop or main computer, both running on xp sp2.
Any ideas?
hmm..
Everyone stumped?
Your problem description makes no sense.
Be more specific, or install from the CAB file directly on the device.
Actually it does make sense.
Whne I try to install as per the instructions I get an error prior to getting to the point where I can choose where to install the files.
TomTom have a fix for this if it happens whilst installing maps but I don't get that far.
There are several cab files on the dvd, which ones need to be installed?
TomTom doesn't come on DVDs. You are using an illegal copy. Sorry, cannot help with that.
This is what you need to do.
Don't install using disc etc.
Explore the media (CD or DVD) Tomtom came on find and copy these folders and their contents to your SD card:
2577
Great-Britain-Map (assuming that's the favoured map)
TOMTOM
VOICES
With the SD card in your Universal find the 2577 folder and run the CAB files in that folder.
evil always wins!

Thanks for the help all, copying folders and running the 4 cab files seems to have done the trick.
Hi guys!
Every time I connect my Jamin to pc it starts ActiveSync and the install/remove app pannel appears... (with all the app installed on my Jamin!)
Is it possible to disable the startup of applications install/remove?
Strange, that shouldn't be happening, unless there is an app set to install on next sync.
Any way try this little tweak app:
http://pocketpcapps.net/activetweak.aspx
it has a tweak to disable app manager.
I install an app (.exe) whern my Jamin was DISCONNECT.... after, I copy the cab files in a different dir (in order to install the cab file later!) and I remove the installation with the std WINXP way (add/remove programs!)....
I'm using this way when I download the exe installation... I like the cab file so I can install it up without ActiveSync...
Well, that explains it. Uninstalling the app on your PC doesn't delete it from AS. Now it's looking for the cab. I am not sure how to remove the installation, but if you put the cab back and let AS finish its job the problem should go away.
hi people
I am looking out for a software for my Vista Operating system in which i can install cab files directly from my desktop without copying it to my device n then installing it.
There r many softwares actually but none of them r vista compatible..for eg cabviaactivesync.
Any developpers intrested in helping us out
WinCE CAB installer
Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2212896#post2212896
You can drag and drop CABs there, or ever better, associate .CAB files with it in Vista, so, all you need to do to install a CAB is a double click (while having ActiveSync on of course)
wow so fast reply.thank u so much..i hope it works on vista.
i have tried this already but not working on vista..its says file cant be accessed!!even in admin mode

Doesn't work for me. Get access denied. And what's worse: you can't uninstall the damn thing.
Edit:
Found it, just remove the Send to entry and delete cabinst.exe from Windows folder.

even i am getting that file access denied.what to do???
Having recently upgraded to Windows 7, I bumped into this issue as well and googled my way to this thread, but found no solutions like you guys.
It seems that all would be well if I turned off User Account Control, which, however, I don't really want to.
Thus I did more searches and found the following article:
Selectively disable UAC for your trusted Vista applications
Although the steps described in the above article did not prevent a UAC prompt from popping up, my installation of WinCE CAB Installer works now.
I downloaded a lot of windows pocketpc applications for my Xperia and none of the worked... The following message comes up: "Is not a valid pocketpc application"
I had a lot of 2003, windows 5, and 6 applications, and games and they cant install or open!
How can I fix this?
RE:
Did you just copy the applications straight to your Xpreia then run the files? If so, you need to run most pocket apps on a PC first, then when you connect your Xperia to a PC then a window will pop up showing you the applications that need to be installed onto your Xperia. This is all Automatic, as long as you have installed the Phone onto your PC.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, that's the only real stupid crap on WM.
I could install any app on Symbian right on phone.
Why the hell they don't make all .CAB's??
I understand with big files, but with 100kB thing is plain stupid,
the whole idea of mobility dies with this.
P.S. I also have some apps like that, so what do I do?
Install it first on PC? And than what, uninstall it after installing on phone??
If you have it "install" on your pc only, it always leaves a .cab file somewhere to be downloaded to your phone later. That's how I extracted the CAB files from the executables I have anyway.
99% of apps can be obtained as cab. Only few I had to install manually (ie there was no CAB or PC EXE installer).
Most are avaialble also aso PC exe, but if someone bothers with EXE installer, he usually has CAB too (in fact he has to, since the PC installation shows some funky windows and then it simply copies the CAB to WM device).
Which is also where you can get the CAB. Unpack the EXE installer (very often possible, Total Commander can do that for example), locate the CAB inside it, and install the CAB manually.

So you had plain luck,
50% of the apps which I want are these f**n .exe. Without any .CAB inside.
But I still didn't get how is the standard operation from PC.
What do I do first? Install the .exe on my computer and than connect phone? And what than?
sync your mobile with activeSync, install the application through pc, activeSync will start the installation on your mobile
Connect the phone to the PC via ActiveSync.
Run the exe on the PC. It installs on PC and copies the cab installer to the phone via ActiveSync. The phone should start the installation automatically.
I still wonder .. what applications are those ?

Great, thanks guys for replies.
I assume while installing I can choose the place of installation (phone/card....)
P.S. Can the .cab installer stay on device, for quick reinstall after upgrade?
Or you have to connect to PC again?
