How to delete a registry key using a CAB

Hi
I am having hard time in making a cab file to delete a registry value.
as an example I tried to import the following into WinCE CAB manager:
HTML:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform]
"PSAtRoot"=-
so that I can delete PSAtRoot from registry....
the WinCE CAB manager import nothing !!
this is working for desktop but not for PPC
any help on how to delete items in registry using cab file... or anything that is automated!
Thanks

Install the .cab file known as PHM RegEdit. Also, before you delete any registry values, make sure you know what your doing!

I believe he is wanting a cab that makes the change, not a registry editing program. I personally would make a mortscript install.mscr and uninstall.mscr, and make your own custom cab with mort's included setup.dll

I know what they want, just showing that it's a lot easier to open a reg editor and do it manually, then creating a list of commands to execute a simple deletion of one entry.

You clearly missed the question and the purpose why he is posting in Development and Hacking section. Hes asking todo a specific task in a cab operation and you advice him to install a reg editor and be carefull?? Jesus.. If you got nothing to say, dont say it. Sorry, but youre reply pissed me off here!

Mate, read this. I think its a good start for youre question
You can specify a pre/post XML when compiling your CAB via CabWizSP. PreXML will be carried out before the main INF instructions as opposed to PostXML codes which are carried out after the INF instructions. Kindly check this sample CabWizSP syntax:
CODE
cabwizsp Sample.inf /postxml PostXML.xml /cpu ARMv4
What happens when you run the code?
CabWizSP will compile instructions in 'Sample.inf' to output 'Sample.ARMv4.CAB'. It will add 'PostXML.xml' to the output CAB. The target device CPU would be 'ARMv4' (SP2003)
The post XML file may contain your 'delete file' instructions. An example would be:
Code:
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="\Storage\windows\AppMgr\Install\Target File.ext" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Delete">
<parm name="ForceDelete" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
Above code will force delete 'Target File.ext' at \Storage\windows\AppMgr\Install. Note that the files you wish to compile should be in the same folder as the INF, the (Post) XML and the CAB making files (makecab.exe, cabwiz.ddf, CabwizSP.exe)

The OP asked for an AUTOMATED way to delete the reg entry, not how to setup an xml file for deletion of the key during ROM cooking. And yes, you better believe I said make sure you know what your doing! If a person asks how delete a registry entry with this type of thread started for it, I'm a bit concerned with the fact they might not know what they are doing. So, really I'm soooooo sorry I hurt you feelings, but I did give an answer, it wasn't rude, and I gave caution to the person who wants to change the registry.
Ohhhhhh! Your post made me so sad !
HAAAAA! LOL !

delete registry entry using xml
TheChampJT : thanks for welling to help
raiisak : Thanks alot for the the help
while searching I found away to delete registry entry using (Provisioning)pre/post xml in the WinCE CAB Manager.
I modified the xml code accourding to this MSDN article
this my xml code :
HTML:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader">
<noparm name="EnableUpperModules" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic type="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
unfortunately nothing deleted !
did I miss something?

Why don't you create this _setup.xml:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Install">
<parm name="InstallPhase" value="install" />
<parm name="OSVersionMin" value="4.0" />
<parm name="OSVersionMax" value="6.99" />
<parm name="BuildNumberMin" value="0" />
<parm name="BuildNumberMax" value="-536870912" />
<parm name="AppName" value="YOUR NAME APP" />
<parm name="InstallDir" value="%CE2%" translation="install" />
<parm name="NumDirs" value="0" />
<parm name="NumFiles" value="0" />
<parm name="NumRegKeys" value="2" />
<parm name="NumRegVals" value="1" />
<parm name="NumShortcuts" value="0" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader">
<noparm name="EnableUpperModules" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic type="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader\LoadModuleLow" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
and then make the cab with ms makecab:
Code:
makecab _setup.xml mycab.cab

g77:
hmm... the output CAB cannot be installed
"try installing again to a different location"
any clue?

Going to try youre cab

Thanks for that idea! I managed to delete the entire ClearType key from the registry using the Post-XML option in WinCE Cab manager.
I now have a cab that deletes the ClearType key and thus disables cleartype! (From a rom that has cleartype enabled by default because the key exists)
Here is what I put in the Post-XML:
HTML:
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic type="HKLM\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE" />
</characteristic>

I got this issue too, so for hmdshmds or anybody else who finds this thread, the answer is simply (well after a day of tracking it down ) that in the registry path, the root part must be in the short form "HKLM" etc, and NOT "HKey_Local_Machine" as hmdshmds/g77 had it.
I've put an article on my website explaining about it, and also - care of a Microsoft blog entry - how to get Visual Studio 2005 to build this right into the installer without any other external software. See Removing Registry Keys with WM6 Deployment . (*UPDATE 1-Sep-2008* Previously, the IE7 phishing filter was reporting the above link as a "possible" phishing site. It absolutely is not and the false warning was reported to Microsoft and has now been corrected.)
Happy coding guys and gals

I'm trying to remove unwanted Today Panel items. After some trial and error, I've been able to come up with the following code:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">
<nocharacteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Owner Info"" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
When I try to import it using SASHAMI, nothing happens; and when I try using 'Advanced Configuration Tool', I receive
System.SystemException:

Apparently, there's still something wrong with my XML, but I'm at a loss. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks

well, maybe a bit late answer but you cant remove 'folders' which contain values.. you need to remove them one by one, at least i cant get any further the nthat!

This might be a little late as I was not a member when you posted here, but to provision with a cab you should leave out the </wap-provisioningdoc> from the top and bottom. It will not fail to parse including that string and its confusing when it still doesnt work. That is your problem. Remove wap provisioning string from top and bottom. Here is how it should look.
PHP:
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Loader">
<noparm name="EnableUpperModules" />

Hi!
I am, as everyone else posting in this thread, trying to remove a bunch of registry settings using a cab-file. Thanks to this thread, my hopes of success were raised once more
I tried all of the examples posted in this thread without success, found a link on modaco which lead me to this msdn-article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834737.aspx
Works like a charm... Thanks a BUNCH guys!

As this is the first thing found when googled - I'll add a little information.
For files, you need to remove each and every file contained in a folder before the folder itself can be removed.
For registry keys, you do not need to remove seperate values. Deleting a registry key, deletes all contained values and subkeys.

Great post. Just what I needed.
But I have problem with WinCE CAB Manager version 3.0.0.22. Anything I added to the pre or post XML, the CAB file cannot be install. Took me forever to debug and nothing works. Anybody?
I finally switch to version 2 and it works perfectly.

I take it back, Wince CAB manager sucks. ver 2.1.0.35 cannot import reg file.

How do I edit default News, Sport, and Download links in Browser tab?

You can see my attached picture of my browser tab.
1. How can I edit the links you see for News, Sport, and Downloads?
I found the registry entry to edit the default home link for when you tap on the picture of the globe to start Opera. I was able to change that but I can't find the other ones.
2. Also, can I change the text that says "o2 Internet-to-Go" directly below the globe?

I think it displays whatever you have in your Opera bookmark. To change it, simply edit your bookmark in Opera browser.

Nope, editing the bookmarks doesn't seem to help - I definitively don't have any sports-related bookmarks left. Maybe some file in the Opera directory (\windows\Opera9\)?

To change the URL for the globe picture, go to the registry:
HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults
There you can tap on "HomePageURI" and enter the URL you want.
You can also enter a URL for "DefaultURI" but I'm not sure what that does yet.
I'm still looking for a way to edit the News, Sports, and Downloads links and also how to change the text below the globe. If anyone knows, please help.

tf3dconfig can for sure unblock branded apps in "programs", i don't remember exactely how i did it on mine for browser, but think the same way
EDIT: no, here how (in italian)
Since you are german, you should modify the file InternetPortal-de-DE.xml under \Windows
inside the xml you can also change the browser text

Thanks! I'll take a look at it right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hmm, well I tried it, but it did not work.
I found the file you mentioned in the Windows folder.
I opened it in my computer (with notepad) and made the changes.
Then I replaced the file (overwriting) into the Windows folder.
I did a soft reset and nothing changed. But if I look at the xml file in the Windows folder, my changes are still there!
Any ideas?
Here is the original data:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

hmmm... I've done that way, with this cab

as you see inside the cab, the replaced files are "internet.lnk" and the "internetportal", no more...

okay, let me see if that cab helps.
EDIT: Well, I don't really know how to edit the files in that cab so that they apply to the german file (DE) and not the Italian one (IT) and also to edit my desired links in the setup.xml file. Can anyone give me any tips?
Man, I feel I am so close to finally being able to do it, but it's just not working for me.
EDIT 2: I'll attach a copy of the cab so it remains here for the future in case someone wants to check it out.

maybe you have some more references in application data\htc

In that folder, I only have 4 other folders (AudioManager_Eng; databases; HTC ALBUM; ygo) and none of them contain anything that would appear to help. Other than that, there is nothing in that folder (no hidden files or anything).

Found. Copy and overwrite this manila file to windows\
I've included your modified xml. It's a text file, so if you want you can always update/change it with notepad.

Oh man - it still didn't do it. I pasted it into windows\ did restarted TFL3D and nothing happened. I did a soft reset and still no change. I'm sure you have to be so close to figuring it out.
You know, I just thought of something. I installed the cab to have 15 tabs in TFL3D. Do you think that is stopping it from working? I don't see why it would.
Thanks so much for your help. I hope we can figure it out.
I'll try uninstalling the 15-tab cab and see what happens.
EDIT::::::
Unfortunately it still does not change anything. I uninstalled the 15-tab cab, did a soft reset, pasted again the file you sent (overwriting what was in the Windows folder) and the browser tab still has not changed. I wonder what the problem is.
Now I notice that when I stop or restart the TFL3D it gives me a "device.exe" error (send to Microsoft or don't send). I press don't send and everything continues fine. Anyway, I don't mind trying things out. I can always do a hard-reset if things get messed up. I'd really like it if we could solve this.

Last try, but if also this one doesn't work, your rom is haunted
try installing this theme, translucent & blue: it also have modifications on internet tab...

Nope, that did not do it either. It's a nice theme, but my Browser tab looks just like it always has. Man, I wonder why my phone is not allowing that to change. Do you need a cooked ROM? Mine is stock. I might try a hard reset and after that retry the things you suggested.
Seriously - thank you for all your help! If anything else comes to mind, let me know. In the mean time I'll keep looking to see how I can change that. As soon as it works, I'll post back here.
I wonder if I should try a cooked ROM. I've never done anything like that before, so I'm a bit nervous to do it. Well, I did flash my old Motorola v550, but this seems like a bigger task. I'll have to read the wiki to learn about SPL and ROMs and all that. That topic is completely new to me.

Really, don't know... My rom is branded, and i succeeded in unbranding the web tab at first attempt...

Well, I just did a hard reset and tried all the options again. Nothing changed. I wonder what is blocking it.
My ROM is 1.14.207.2 (24011) GER
I guess o2 did something so that you cannot change that. The strange thing is that I am able to overwrite the files in Windows. If I look at them on my PC, they show my information. So, I don't know why it is not working.
I might have to put a different ROM on there or just live with the slight branding links in that browser tab.
Thanks again for your help.

maybe...
what have you inside 26948339_manila?
are there references to the internet tab?
you should have only
Code:
<Page Order="7" Name="internet.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_INTERNETPORTALTITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\internetportal.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
at the beginning, and nothing more in the rest of the file. If instead you have other web references there, maybe the trick is there

There is a ton of information in that file, but I searched in notepad and the only place the word "internet" appears is in this section here:
Code:
<Page Order="4" Name="internet.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_INTERNETPORTALTITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\internetportal.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Internet_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Internet_Preview" />
</Page>
The word "o2" does not appear in that file.

thanks for the reply but i'm hoping to do this via registration @ OS install rather than through software post wm6.5 setups...
any one else able to create a reg to implement it?

i can not belive
nobody willing to help you
you can fix it yourself !!!
if you just used the "search button"
for bug correcting
1. correct the bug
2. open an reg editor
3. save the key that you need as name.reg
4. add it to your kitchen
also you can add metadata folder to sys

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile]
@="JPEG Image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\DefaultIcon]
@="\windows\HTCAlbum.exe,-300"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\windows\HTCAlbum.exe "%1""
this is the patch for you
fo the same for all picture extensions

or you can just edit
Album_3_2_19193429_0\files\mxipupdate_MASD_zzzHTCAlbum_RegKey.provxml
<characteristic type="HKCR\jpegimage\DefaultIcon" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="" datatype="string" value="HTCAlbum.exe,-300" translation="filesystem"/>
</characteristic>
to
<characteristic type="HKCR\3gpfile\DefaultIcon" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="" datatype="string" value="HTCAlbum.exe,-300" translation="filesystem"/>
</characteristic>

all this with just an simple search

i did search here and in google all wkend...
tried first method with the reg editing still not working...
will try the 2nd method tomorrow when i have some time...

htc album often has a provxml that fixes the file associations for album. find the packages from mega and edit the provxml to be pimg instead of album. provxml gets installed at first boot without the need for auto run. that would be the sure way to fix your problem.

i'll check the provxml file when i get home (will comment the fields out)
thing even if i dont install HTC album the files arent associated...
and i recall the provxml file already 'trying' to add associate to htc (obviously not working) as when i added it to enrivus kitchen the software works but as mentioned above no link in file explorer / titanium pictures.
thanks for the help

Footprints tab to install

Hi Guys
I use a stock rom with manila 2.5 on my TP2 and it does not contain Footprints tab, which i find very useful. I found a link to files for it extracted from HD2
"rapidshare.com/files/367420188/Manila_Footprints_2_5_20111529_0__Leo_.rar". Unfortunately, simple copying to Windows folder and importing of registry data did not lead to tab appearance.
Could you guys help to either create a cab file or advise how to install it correctly?
Thanks

Wow, so many smart people are on this site and nobody can answer??

Footprint Tab
I dont have seen a Tab cab for the Rhodium. I try the package OEM tab from a HD2. Unfortunatly with no result.
I know there is a mortscript version but i dont try that one yet,

try this
i had 2 luck but i'm using the 6.5 stock rom

A .rar file is a compressed archive. You need to uncompress it before copying to your phone. Google WinRAR for such a program.

Footprint Tab
I have now also the one with the mortscript
I can try to use this in our kitchen.
But will try this cabfile first

Thank you guys for advice, I tried the cab file from your link, but unfortunately despite being installed very smoothly, no tab is added. I wonder why it happens, since I use several wonderful tabs, as Facebook, GPS tracker, Today, Call history, Programs made here on xda, but Footprint seems to be doomed for me.
I will be grateful if any additional advice can be given.

You have to edit "26948339_manila" to add the following code in there for footprints to show up.
Code:
<Page Order="9" Name="footprints.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_FOOTPRINTS_TITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\Footprints\footprints.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_Preview"/>
</Page>
Make sure you change the page order to match what you have in you ROM.
Also ensure this reg key is correct as well
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://footprints.page.hidden"=dword:0

Well, I edited 26948339_manila, modified the key in registry, nothing happend. I even did hard reset started everything over, but it does not work. A green icon of footprint appeared in Startmenu, when I pushed it just slightly blincked and returned me to the Home screen.
Well, I gave up. Perhaps it realy does not work on Stock Rom with Manila 2.520121225.0.
Thanks for help.

[SOLVED] editing office 2010 icon

I have managed to change all the folder icons in the start menu to custom icons except Office mobile 2010.
I have fixed the issue. Thanks to AndrewSH and Poyensa for pointing me in the right direction!
What I forgot to meniton is I am using OS 21913 wich comes with Office 2007. I removed it and upgraded to 2010.
As AndrewSH rightly said the mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml controls the icons and over rights any reg files that are used. I found the the prov file had an incorrect entry in the start menu. It was pointing to Office Mobile instead of Office Mobile 2010. I updated the following code.
Code:
<characteristic type="Office Mobile 2010">
<parm name="Group" value="1" datatype="boolean" />
<parm name="Rank" value="900000788" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Office.png" datatype="string" />
I then used Poyensa's idea of renaming the PNG files to suit. Thanks again for all your help guys!

GhostXSeries, file icon.lnk just defines how office folder looks in file explorer - a small office pictogram (like icons inside executables - calculator for example)
The icon for Start Menu (png file which you are trying to change for custom) is defined in mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml
Code:
<characteristic type="Office Mobile">
<parm name="Group" value="1" datatype="boolean" />
<parm name="Rank" value="900000788" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="Icon" value="\Windows\Start_Icon_Office.png" datatype="string" />
Just to explain - you can not change icon name to ghostbla-bla-bla modifying rgu (or reg) because provxmls are processed AFTER rgu in cooking process. That means - first your setup rgu (or reg) file is processed and your icon is set up, then it's overwritten by provxml and you again have the default meaning in the registry.
Modify your provxml, or name your custom icon like original one and replace in the kitchen.

hi GhostX, why dont you just rename your ghst_office.png as Start_Icon_Office.png? attaching my silver icons as EXT package, just as example ....

Thanks for the reply guys. I did as you suggested and changed the icon names, but it hasn't worked. The Office start menu icon is a standard folder icon and the games icon is also wrong.
I did manage to change the settings icon as you can see in the picture.
I have attached my icons ext package to let you see what I am trying to do.
EDIT: Tried again and got games folder working with new icon, but Office folder is not.
EDIT 2: I replaced the icon.lnk file in the Office Mobole 2010 and it has changed the icon back to the standard office 2010 icon. See below. This icon is differnt to the Start_Icon_Office.png. It seems to be the office 2003 icon not 2010.
EDIT 3: Fixed it! I edited the registery from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\office mobile] to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\office mobile 2010] and it worked!! Now I just need to figure out how to edit it in my kitchen build!!!!
