I've been working with "WinCE CAB Manager"
http://www.ocpsoftware.com/products.php?nm=cecabmgr
but Ive got a problem with getting the installation DIR right.
I.'m doing a repack like a games collection so I can install all my games at once after a hard-reset.
Here's what Ive been doing so far:
I use the existing CABs and collected them in my Games Pack. The problem is when try to install the CAB on my MDA IV it always installs the files om my main memory even when I chose my Internal Memory as installation DIR. What am I doing wrong?
As you can see Ive tried in the [CAB information] different "Default Install DIR" but still it keep installing everything on my main memory.

Double click on Default Install Dir. Write in Storage Card/Program Files
I suppose in this way you can't choose anymore whether you want to install in main memory or internal storage? It just installs in internal storage right?

On the Wizard when you install an app by putting .cab file on the storage card or wherever it asks you where to put it. For instance before I sold my Wizard I put a .cab on the storage card and ran it from the phone and installed it on the storage card.
Just gone back to a Magician temporarily and forgot that if you put a .cab on the mem card and want to install it to the storage card, you can't and it installs it on the phone memory, which is small compared to a Wizard.
The only way I can see to be able to install files to storage card is if they are .exe and you either install them from PC and chose location or suchlike. No choice for .Cab files or is there ?
WinCE cab manager anyone ??
there's a little software called cabinstl_en.exe that allows you to select where to install the cab file.

Thanks very much, works a treat.
your welcome. glad that it works for you too.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone know where the cabs files are after installing programs on the main memory? I know where it is when I install on the storage card when I do install thur PC sync. Just want to know if there is any files left after install on the main memory like the storage card installations. Oh also how to change the registry to take away install cabs afterwards too.
Thanxs.
Just got my new white Trinity w/ GPS & Tom Tom. When I try to install it, I get a low memory error and install aborts. I have 41Mb storage and 21Mb program mem free.
Anyone else have trouble? Can it be installed to card?
It can be installed to the card, yes, but I never had that problem, altough I have installed TomTom many times.
I got a lot of problems but not this one !
Is this the HTC version that is downloaded on their web site ?
CD that was in the box. They have a cab file to dnload?
Tomtom refused to install on SD
I had the same problem - and the option "install into default installation folder" was checked and grayed out, so I could not tell Tomtom to install onto SD.
I backuped my Trinity, cleared the internal storage, connected to Activesync as "Guest", installed Tomtom to the internal storage, then moved the folder \Program Files\Navigator to a folder \Program Files\Navigator I created on my SD card.
After that, I restored my device. All I had to do after that was to manually add a shortcut to the Tomtom application in my Start Menu folder.
This worked for me.
Cheers Stefan
(I installed Tomtom from CAB available on the European HTC web site: http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htcp3600.html)
No cab file there. It is a exe that loads via Activesync. I get the same low mem error as with the CD. I have 62 Mb free. This is rediculous.
Gave up. The installer creates a temp cab in
program files/activesync/HTC apps
If you can't find it, search the C drive for *.cab and sort by date.
Copy that file while the installer is still open. Run it from the storage card. Worked fine.
hi everyone!
i'm havin some problems with installint tomtom on my trinity. i downloaded the trial verison from tomtom, where you can choose one free map from a city and use it. when i start the .exe from the pc it just starts installing tomtom on my device and my device won't even ask me where i want to install it. then when the install is almost complete the installer tells me that my memory is critically low and the installation fails. no matter how many programs i have running in the background or if i close everything else or deinstall everything, it doesn't want to install iteself. i've alrdy looked through the forums here but i couldn't find a solution to the problem. is there anyone who could help me plz?
The memory problem warning is about storage memory and nor program memory.
The installation pack is copied to internal memory and it's also installed in internal memory. So, for the installation to succeed, you must have at least the double of installation package free.
One can also extract the needed cab and run it from memory card. As for this I can't remember how to do it but has something to do with the temporary extracted files by the installer.
thx very much! i'll clear the storage space as soon as i have time and i'll try it out.
Hey Guys,
I have downloaded and installed some programs to my HD2's internal memory by mistake (I was a newbie). Now, it is full of programs and i am running out of memory.
I want to move all of the program files to storage card. I tried cut and paste. However, this time, wm gives error saying it cannot find the path for the program.
Is there a way which allows me to move files directly to the storage card instead of removing and reinstalling?
Thanks
a couple of programs are only installed in a subdirectory and linked from Startmenu to this folder.
No problem to move this subdirectory to the storage card and change the link in the startmenu. (using resco explorer, for example)
but if a program is using the windows-mobile-registry (or an own INI-File) you have to change all the items from this program - it's almost impossible ...
the best way - if you don't know how voluminous the program is - to deinstall the program and reinstall the program at storage card.
Thanks, I could not think also copying shortcut to startmenu folder. My problem will be solved, most probably, at that time.
Edit: I installed resco explorer, but I could not find how to specify shortcut while in start menu? Can you please help?
