Hi guys,
I installed Magic Buttons and Battery Manager 2 on my jam...
Well... the 2 apps works fine but if I make soft reset, a message box comes up because the Jam can't find the application exe file...
I'm trying to install both on SD and on default location the apps but the error is still present...
I see on the property of the shortcut and it seems to have the right path for the executable...
Any idea?
SD card isn't available instantly on boot up for some reason - many shortcuts to start programs from sd card on reset don't work well.
Only options - save to storage, somehow delay loading the program a few seconds after reset (I don't know if such an app exists, good idea to write one maybe?) or load the programs by hand. Nothing ideal so far!

Hi All,
I have an I-mate jasjar, This is the first time i tried installing applications to Storage Card (1GB), when ever i tried to install using Activesync 4.0, It doesnt ask me which folder to install i.e Like Default or Storage Card. And also If i click Add/Remove Programs in Activesync 4.0, I find that the checkbox "install program into the default installation folder" is checked and disabled. Hence I am unable to change it. Find the below image for the same.
Please can some one help me on this, on how to resolve the same.
Regards,
Francis.
Hi Francis,
1. Try inserting a bit smaller memory card (may be 512).
2. check if the momory card is not locked physically.
3. At the lowest, try to hard reset, but keep the memory card inside the i-mate while it install the windows. IMP: dont forget to backup important files before rebooting.
GoodLuck

First of all get Active Sync 4.1 from here...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx
On WM5 devices like Universal and Wizard I think you choose the location on the device, so you just install to 'default folder' from activesync and when it gets to the phone instead of then going ahead and installing it gives you the choice, phone or storage card.
On 2003SE Windows Mobile, you did have to choose the location on your pc in active sync and when it went to your device it went where you sent it.
Hi,
Mine is a MMC Card, so i dont think it can be locked Physically, also i dont have a smaller card to check whether it works. May be i can try your last option, but i have lot of sms, which will be lost.

Francis.
Thanks a lot
As mentioned, whenever I tried to install the application in the PPC it ask me where to install. Thanks a lot !!!
Regards,
Francis.
Did you find out how to load a program to an SD card in the Universal? I want to know too, please.
Whenever I install an application I see a message saying: "This is from a unknown developer, do you still want to install? Press YES or NO." This is the only message I see, no option to install it to the SD card.
Any suggestions please?
Can anyone confirm if cabinstl does anything on WM5?
Its dialog pops up, but then I get the normal WM5 dialog then asking for a destination a second time.
I think I may have confused cabinstl by adding the following registry keys:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
"fAskOptions"=dword:00000001
"fAskDest"=dword:00000001
which will force the Wm5 installer to ask for a destination. This may be useful to those who aren't getting this dialog by default.
However, I want my MTV. And cabinstl. Working. Properly.

i've do the reg hack, softreset but nothing succeded! any idea?
Sorry for this stupid question but this is my third day of having a windows mobile 5 xda (the cingular 8125) and I'm having problems installing .cab files. I started with the "DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer 2.0.cab". I moved the cab to the root directory of the device, tapped on it, and it went through the progress bar, told me that it had installed, but then when I went to look for the newly installed program, i couldn't find it anywhere. I also tried this with a few games and other apps. What am I doing wrong that it keeps telling me that it installed fine, but I can't find the programs. Thanks for your help in this.

You may have tried but have you used explorer to check if the files have installed under "Programs"? I've often seen cab files install but the shortcuts not get installed though the programs are there. If you find them then connect to your PC and use explore from Activesync, create shortcust and drop them in the windows\start menu folder.
Yeah, I have tried that... I even tried to a search for the files to no avail. Any other ideas? I really appriciate the help.
You've got me stumped. Personally I always drop the cabs on the SD card and install from there thats the only thing I can see different. Maybe it's a problem with dropping it in the root directory - have you tried dropping it under the programs folder and then installing?
correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the wizard optimizer cab just tweak a few settings/registey values? a cab of this nature will not show up in your programs list because it isn't a program, it just changes stuff. this is normal, the same thing happened when i installed some camera tweaking cabs. so the cab has worked fine, done its job, there is nothing else you need to do.
I have Cingular 8125 version of Wizard, running default ROM from Cingular right when 8125 was released last year.
I'm having a re-ocurring problem of not being able to install certain apps. In some cases the first time I install something it works okay, but can't install a new version later.
These apps are ones I've had trouble with and curently cannot install:
-mortplayer
-mortscript
-slider lock
-teletype GPS
Here are things I've tried in various combinations
-checked for sufficient space on storage card or ram
-un-install app, then re-install
-install to storage card or system ram
-reset device
-install via "cabinstl" program
-install from pc setup.exe
-install directly from .cab on device
-even tried a complete hard / factory reset and installed some of the apps as first time ok, but mortplayer was one that I couldn't install on a fresh factory reset
Anyone else having problems like this? I've seen a couple comment's on mort's board of others having problems but no resolution.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
no one else has problems then
have you tried re-download mortplayer cab and try to install it? i have come across the same problem and the corrupted cab file was the reason. i think it get corrupted while i'm transferring it to the sd card. so sometime i just download directly to my wizard.
Ya, I've tried several different vesrions over past 6 months. Just tried downloading latest cab directly to phone and installing it to Device memory...
"Mort's MortPlayer" cannot be installed
Thanks!
i use to have a problem like this.
Then i download "CabViaActiveSync" and i have no problems installing any programs. works like a charm. Try it see if it fixes your problem. Search for it . its free.
hi,
i'm trying to install tomtom 7.910.9185 on my touch HD (stock orange rom)
if i try to install it to the device, it goes through the install and says its has install successfully, but then i cant find it anywhere and there isnt a shortcut in programs either.
if i install it to the memory card, its seems to install ok, but then i have problems getting a GPS fix (it only gets a fix for a split second before saying that there is no device or its not getting a signal, despite being able to see 8 or more satellites.) and then giving me a fix for a split second again before losing the signal (this is when i'm in the car)
can anyone please point me in the right direction, or tell me what i'm doing wrong.
many thanks
When you install on the device, TomTom installs into the folder "Program Files\Navigator"
After install a shortcut will not show up in your programs tab. You have to make it manually (using active sync, make a shortcut of the "tomtomnavigator.exe" and copy it to "Windows/Start Menu/Programs" ) or use file explorer extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421723) and have it automatically make and send a shortcut to Programs.
sorted now.
had to copy the installer onto the device, remove my memory card and install it that way.
now it seems happy enough to find the GPS device and the lag dosent seem too bad.
