[new release] VJBrisk - very specific file launcher

Guys, don't get excited, this is just a teeny tiny app for a special request:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50460&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
I'm basically not releasing anything for a while whilst I work on my new website, which is taking ages
However, this app is just used to launch an app in the same folder, with the filename
VJTarget.exe
or a shortcut called VJTarget.lnk.
This is very specific in use. You don't need it, I'm sure.
But if you have an app that can launch an .exe, but won't launch a shortcut with a command line, then this might be for you (I know some button redefiners and Today launchers might get use out of this)
So, basically, if you want to run VJDialer with a command line in TomTom:
1. Create a shortcut to VJDialer and set it up as you normally would.
2. Check the shortcut to ensure it works.
3. Copy it to your target folder.
4. Copy VJBrisk.exe to the same target folder.
5. Rename the shortcut you made in Step 1 to VJTarget.lnk.
6. Running VJBrisk will now launch VJTarget with its command line etc.
So, setup TomTom to run VJBrisk, and VJBrisk will then launch a file called VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk in the same folder.
Like I said, very specific, but a good experiment for me with some nice string classes
On my (old) website.

Thanx!
I will rewrite my question here, because it's + appropriated:
i will try NOW your app.... only a question:
VJbrisk.exe launch only one vjtarget.lnk or just rename it (exe) with the same name of the link to have more than 1 phone link?
(es Vjbrisk1.exe call Vjbrisk1.lnk, Vjbrisk2.exe call VJbrisk2.lnk etc ?
sorry 4 my english
:::EDIT:::::
i HAVE AN IDEA!
If a Vjbrisk.exe read from a text file vjtarget.txt :
links = 2
link1: vjdial.exe 123456789;
link2: vjdial.exe 987654321;
then by renaming as Vjbrisk1.exe or vjbrisk2.exe the program execute the link into the txt?
the counter is for vjbrisc[X].exe, from x=1 to x=[links].....
or the exe filename can be compared with a string written into the txt:
"VBrisk1.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
"VBrisk2.exe" = vjdial.exe 123456789
I don't know is it's possible.... however good work for all others apps that you've made !

VJBrisk will launch VJTarget.exe or VJTarget.lnk.
I could make it so that renaming VJBrisk Eg VJBrisk2.exe will launch VJTarget2.exe.
But for your TomTom setup, I suggest you just use a different folder and a different copy of VJBrisk for each app you need to run.
The text file option is possible, but may be more complicated then just renaming the .exe as I describe above.

ok thnx 1000

accidental presses solved
thanks again to kokotas and vijay555.
kokotas for his ROM that allows me to replace \windows\biotouch.exe without difficulty
vijay555 for his VJBrisk that allows a "new biotouch.exe" to launch a shortcut to s2u2.exe
this means slide2unlock2 will remain locked, even if there are accidental presses/brushes(due to hardware design) while my elf is in my pocket.

Hi, Vijay.
Is there any chance that you could modify this app so that it would pass the command-line parameter it was launched with on to the shortcut?
Here's what i'm trying to acchieve:
I'm using a QR Code reader called quickmark that can read a URL from the barcode, and open it in a web browser. It can ce switched to use Opera instead of IE, but it attempts to launch the executable called OperaLaunch.exe from /Windows, while my Opera9 beta exec is on the storage card, and it's called Opera9.exe
I tried to create a shortcut to it, rename it to VJTarget.lnk, and place it in /Windows along with VJBrisk renamed to "OperaLaunch.exe". When i tried to access a web page from quickmark, opera was launched, but it opened its home page, as if it didn't receive the command line parameter. Manualy running the link with URL as command line parameter worked fine, so it seems that VJBrisk doesn't pass the parameter...

[new version!] Command line support
mr_deimos - that's a really good idea. I don't know why I had never supported it before.
Can you please try this new version.
It's been years since I've made a cab, so for now, just a new .exe.
Let me know if it works ok for you.
VJBrisk 0.2 with command line support

Whoa, i didn't notice this version before. Thanks for making the update and sorry for the late reply.
However unfortunately it still doesn't seem to pass the command line parameters. Right now i don't have the opera9 anymore, but i tested it with netfront:
I have the vjbrisk.exe renamed to OperaLaunch.exe and vjtarget.lnk (pointing to my NetFront executable on storage card) in my /windows dir.
If i run:
Code:
\windows\vjtarget.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
Netfront opens up, and loads the xda-dev website.
But ruunning:
Code:
\windows\operalaunch.lnk http://www.xda-developers.com
NetFronf fires up, but loads its homepage instead of this website Of course the same happens with QuickMark - it just launches NF, without loading the proper page.

it works fine, but can you make an option so that it is possible to use it multiple times in one directory =?
ex:
manila2d use on homescreen hardcoded:
-> clock.exe for timer+
-> calendar.exe for outlook calendar.
# # # #
now i want to use:
-> clock.exe for spb time
-> calendar.exe for thumbcal
so i overwrite calendar.exe + clock.exe with your tool(copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + clock.exe) + make the link to vjtarget....
so how can handle your tool this for different targets ?
my idea would be that there is
1.) vjbrick.exe looks to its own exe-name and searching for a file with extension: ".vjb" . there the call is inside to the correct exefile + paramter
so for example:
1.) copy vjbrick.exe to calendar.exe + copy to windows(overwrite the orig file)
2.) generate a file calendar.vjb + inside there is: "programm files\thumbcal\thumbal.exe -day" + copy the file to \windows
manila2d->
THEREFORE: a lot of guys which are searching therefore a solution !!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the solution:
Extract everything in a directory on your pc.
From the Command Prompt, go in the directory where you extracted the files and type: sign.bat [path of the dll or exe to be signed]
ex.:
c:\signcode>sign.bat c:\itsutils.dll
Cheers,
.Fred

Hello, It doesnt work
C:\...Downloads\SignCode>sign itsutils.dll
Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped.
Succeeded
After this step i copy the modified .dll to \Windows (PDA) on my device. No i start the psynctime.exe on WinXP and my Device starts a user prompt for ItsUtils.dll (YES/NO). Thats the Problem

The 'not time stamped' is normal, but what you are trying to do won't work.
Here's the thing: The certificate in the attached cab is the test certificate from WM5 SDK. In order for device to recognize it you need to first provision the device (import the certificate). I can attach the cab that does it, but it isn't signed as well, so it will still ask for yes / no.
If you are looking to by pass certificates on a distribution version of your software you are out of luck.
For apps and cabs not to ask yes / no they have to be signed by an official Verisign certificate (costs money) or the device has to be set to no cert.
The second option is even more problematic for the average user, since it requires installing a reg editor on the device and changing some reg settings.

Ok, do you know an other way to stop this user prompt? Install method with automatic /yes or something like that.

Why don't you use the certified CAB that changes the registry values to allow Unsigined apps to be installed?

My method of creating Security Certificate cabs

Not sure if this has been discussed earlier but I've been searching for quite a while for the exact working procedure so I can have my cert installable through UC. I support many clients with Exchange 2003 and PDA's so this works really nice for me, of course YMMV
First you need Network 2.0 installed on your workstation, the x86 version alavaible here
Then, referring to Scott Yost's contribution on MSDB Blogs, SSLChainSaver v2 released download & install Windows Mobile SSLChainSaver
This will create a directory C:\Program Files\Microsoft SSL ChainSaver by default with no program group. I suggest installing to a easier to find folder as this will be run via a Command Prompt, I use D:\SSL myself.
Then I run a Command Prompt and change my Drive and Directory to that folder. (I'm sure that if you need this knowledge you already know how to navigate in a Dos windows)
There I type S and a tab (which, on an XP or Vista computer will autocomplete SSLChainSaver.exe. Type a space then the FQN of the server containing the cert, for instance, mail.mycompany.com. This will create a folder named mail.mycompany.com containing the cert, which we don't need. It will also create 2 files, mail.mycompany.com.wm5.xml and mail.mycompany.com.wm6.xml. Al my device are WM6.1 so I need the second one.
Rename the second file to _setup.xml.
The type makecab /d compress=off _setup.xml email.cab (or whatever you want to name the cab)
Copy the cab to your SC and input the necessary line into your SDConfig.txt if you use UC or simply run through File Explorer.
This, in addition to creating cabs to automatically Auto-provisioning Exchange mail via UC saves me a LOT of time.
Enjoy and I hope that somebody finds this useful

Excellent work! I have been looking for a good way to achieve this via UC and this works perfectly.

So you re doing all this just to get _setup.xml made for you ? Why not see whats in it and create it yourself ?

OK, see what's in mine and create one then...
The whole idea is to create a cab, not an xml file... at least for me that is.

Great work! I've been looking for that - didn't know you could do this
Here's a script - just add it to your SSL Chainserver folder (default: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SSL ChainSaver) and run it - it will ask you for your web/mail-server and create the cab automatically...
Code:
@echo off
set mailserver=mail.mycompany.com
set /P mailserver=Please enter your mailserver (%mailserver%) + [ENTER]:
SSLChainSaver.exe %mailserver%
copy %mailserver%.wm6.xml _setup.xml
makecab /d compress=off _setup.xml %mailserver%.cab
echo Done! Copy %mailserver%.cab to your provisioning folder and add it to your UC (SDConfig.txt) or SASHIMI script :)

This is great, it's exactly what I needed. I just have one question. Why make a CAB file? Don't UC and Sashimi both support provisioning XML? It seems like you should be able to save a step. And taking that one step further, couldn't you put both the certificate and the Exchange provisioning in the same XML file?

For me, it's because I rarely let the UC start as when I'm evaluating a new ROM I need it to be the way the chef made it and not as it is with my modifications. Much easier for me to just run the cab files.

Lol, hadn't checked the xml yet and see now it's a provisioning XML, thanks for the tip!

hello
i need help...
a stupid question:
how i get a FQN from a server with an Cert?
I must create the server itself?

Hi Marty,
The FQDN is the Fully Qualified Domain Name of your machine. So whatever you type into the Address Bar of the Internet Explorer to access the machine would be the FQDN. If your Exchange Server is called "server1" it's usually "server1.domainname.com" or sometimes your Domain Admin adds "mail.domainname.com" or "exchange.domainname.com which points to the server1 machine...

[App] Execute Apps Automatically (14 Jan 10) Source Code Included

I use Sashimi alot and the only gribe I have with it is that I cannot Automatically Setup My Applications within Sashimi. I know it will run all exe files that is placed within the \Sashimi\Auto\EXE folder but it cant execute .lnk files. So this little app has three files which you simply dump in \Sashime\Auto\EXE folder.
There will be a file called Executefiles.txt
Any apps in there will be executed automatically after Sashimi is done with its installation
I use 1. Pimbackup.exe
2. Galarm
3. Audio notes
4. Magicall
Theres a config file where you can specify whether it should auto close or wait for a keypress to exit
O yes Source Code is in vs2008 used C#. Graphics aint good. But it doesnt need to be. I only spent about an hour and half on the app

aren't executable (AND lnk files) automatically executed when placing them in \Windows\Startup directory? or is this some Sashimi related thing. Whatever Sashimi is!?

When you flash a new rom Sashimi is used to install al your cabs automatically and do reg imports and copy files etc. So now when you are done installing everything you obviously need to run certain apps to chage settings and this app will help you execute these apps once sashime is done installing
Have a look at sashimi here : http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4

Forgot
Forgot to add you can even install cab files with it

ok I see. Thanks for explanation.

Thx you. Will look into it.

Thanks for the source code, now i can excute a .lnk without error.
last try fail with process.start, shellexcuteex and mortscript

No problem i battleded my backside of as well to get it to work. It would only execute .exe files initially but now it will do .cab .lnk and properly .html as well cause it passes it to the shell instead off trying to execute it itself. What app are you trying to write? You will see there a waitcomplete or something. if you remove that line it will start the process and still continue to run the app in the foreground. that command makes it execute the app and wait for it to finish before carying on with code. The only problem with that is if you would execute an app and minimize it then your code will wait indefinately for the app to exit before it will continue
