Hi!
I have an application that autostarts with my PDA, Revival Kiosk from The Institution. When I flashed my PDA (HTC 7500) with a new ROM (michys 6.1 SPL 1.2), this application wont autostart, stating a somewhat cryptic error ("Revival engine not registered").
I called the developers and asked them and was told that the new ROM I had applied to the PDA does - most likely - not contain the correct certificates and hence, the application is not allowed to start. Devices shipped from HTC does *not* have this issue, works fine with those.
This has nothing to do with the registrysetting regarding removing that irritating popup about executing unsigned applications, this is something different. This application is started as a service, and because of MS stupid security-model, the service is not allowed to start since there are certificates missing.
Please, does anyone have any idea at all where I should start looking? Have downloaded MS Power Toys Security Configuration Manager, but am not sure on what it is exactly that im looking for. Michelle, any idea?

All Games / Apps using Visual Basic seem to have stopped working.
Shortcuts to *.vb links get the error:
"There is no application associated with ...... Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
Other files get the error:
Error : 0x80040154
(Cannot open VBScript)
Is there anyway I can reinstall the Visual Basic runtimes on my Vario without doing a full factory reset.
Logic says there must be a way.
I do not want to do a reset and lose all saved texts, MMS, contacts and all the software I have installed.
Appologies if this post is in the wrong place or has been asked before.

well, I have more or less the same problem, there seems to be a problem with the installation of the eVb runtime on WM5, even thouhg I succeeded once...But the webmaster of http://www.omnisoft.com seems to have found a way of bypassing these limitations, I haven't found the time to test his solution yet. Let's say that the firts to try lets the other one know how it worked out.
Any idea how they bypassed these limitations or how I can get hold of them.
Anyone else got any links / guides to this problem.
I have two Varios and one MDA Compact to fix this problem on so far and I really dont want to do a hard reset.
It seems that the main problem is not the scripting engine itself which installs just fine. It has to do with the various ActiveX controls (MSCE*.dll) that are not registered when you install the runtime, but are requested by most apps to function properly. Basically, the post on omnisoft.com explains what entries you have to enter manually in the registry to register these controls.
By the way, what setup did you use to install the runtime?
I used the W2003
VBScript just stoped working inc games/apps I downloaded + minor apps I wrote with Forward Pass.
I did not install the runtime, it was in ROM.
That is why I may have to do a hard reset.
Is there any link to the post on omnisoft.com?
Doesn't Microsoft have any VB runtime install that will fix this? It is their OS.
Hello All,
I've got a HTC Advantage X7500, running WM5.0. I'm trying to install some of my company's software on the machine. The software package has installed fine on many other WM5.0 machines but fails on this one.
The install just reboots the machine towards the end of the install process. On restart, the machine beings the install process from the beginning.
If I look at the registry after the reboot I can see that all the registry entries in the install ARE in the machine registry, so it looks like the most of the install has been done. However, it does not get as far as calling my Install_Exit DLL routine.
So, I removed the custom DLL that I use during the install. But I get the same problem - it reboots and restarts the install. I have no reboots coded anywhere in the install.
I've tried attaching the Visual Studio debugger to what I think is the correct process on the machine but no errors are reported in the debugger, and the reboot goes ahead anyway. I even tried attaching the debugger to ALL processes on the machine, but that just hung the debugger :-(.
Does anyone have any hints for debugging installls, or any other handy ideas. Would I get any joy from the HTC support? (in fact does anyone have a developer support contact at HTC?)
Thanks,
John
Ah, OK. got it. Sit down, here's a little story.
I binary chopped my way through the install and found the offending section of the script. It was in the [RegSettings] sections, which is actioned by AddReg.
I was creating 8 subkeys or values under HKCR. These are to register two file extensions for some of our application data files. One of these was succeeding, the other was causing the reboot.
The one that fails is for an extension ".DCF". It seems that on the HTC Advantage device (and perhaps on all 5.0 devices) this file extension in already registered. (still, shouldn't cause the machine to reboot).
Here's where the paranoia kicks in.
As I was looking at this I was reading an article about DRM in Windows Vista (very interesting: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html)
So I was very amused when I noticed on the PDA that the "'.DCF" extension is described as "drmcontent" in the registry. Now, it may be a complete coincidence that "drmcontent" contains the acronym DRM, but I was amused nevertheless. Have the interesting attempts by Microsoft to add DRM to Vista had repercussions on Windows Mobile? or is the paranoia really getting to me?
Anyway, problem found, solution accepted (don't register that file extension), and bug reported (well it will be soon, the reboot really should not occur (remember it's not just the reboot, but the re-start of the install from the beginning after the reboot) ).
On a related note, I phoned the HTC support number here in the UK and was told that the only way I could get "developer support" was to write to head office in Taiwan (that's write mind you, not phone, not even email, good old snail mail).
Ah, roll on the weekend.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to read the original problem.

Ok found ICSinstall.cab on here and installed it, soft reset, and attempted to install the latest version of the WMWifiRouter program (which I finally succeeded in sourcing!).
However I get a message telling me cryptically that it 'cannot be installed' after attempting install. I wonder if this is related to ICS...
I now have the InShrUI.exe file in /windows/ *but* attempting to run it gives:
'The file 'IntShrUI' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.'
I reinstalled it over itself (i.e. ran the cab again) same error.
:-/
Was this the right file? I seem to remember it was dated 11th January 2008??
Thanks again for hte help folks!
I should say I'm running Microsoft Windows Mobile Version 5.0 (OS5.1.195 (build 14955.2.3.0).
Lastly I should say I've started a new topic as the last one was getting a bit off topic my original concern having been answered :-D (thanks guys!)
probably you only opened a shortcut (*.ink) and the shortcut pointed to a not existing file. Another thing is that it also was intsalled correctly (the *.exe), but the dll's or whatever are not installed.
Regards
Thanks. I'll try redownloading and repeating.
I was wondering if the file needed signed with some unique private key or something?
Anyways will give it a shot and report back

Thanks for your suggestion I'm now a tiny bit further on.
On soft resetting the PPC I get the following error:
'Pocket PC Networking
Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address. Try again later or enter an IP address in Network settings.'
InShrUI is still giving the same error as before (and it's definately the .exe file I'm clicking).
However the improvement is: This time WMWifiRouter succeeded in installing...
However the same PPC networking error occurred during the install. I could probably tweak whatever is causing that error to use a static IP address rather than DHCP probably...but it's kind of dodging the problem.
And as said before I can't launch IntShrUI without getting that error. This time there is a shortcut to it though in program files.
I should also say that neither the executable or the shortcut has an Icon Image (i.e. it's the default no icon blank) so I suppose it might be the .exe file that's corrupt (since the shortcut get's it's icon from there I think?).
Last but not least:
WMWifiRouter reads:
Code:
'Not Connected'
Waiting for connection
I suspect the problem must lie with InShrUI but then again I'm a noob so I'll wait for the XDA gods to come and share their wisdom!

Is there no1 who can answer this? Anyone got any ideas?
Device is a hermes (T-mobile Vario-II) running WM5.....
There's one MAN point up for grabs for whoever can solve it!
I tried installing WMWifiRouter 0.89 onto a ROM which didn't have ICS included (which meant I had to try the same route you did) onto my Vario 2... I just couldn't get it to work, and I spent a while trying to make it work too.
I'm figuring that there's some deep-seated DLL or system association which ICS needs, which isn't configured if ICS is stripped out of the ROM - I ended up just reflashing with another ROM (the T-Mobile WM6.0 official ROM) and ICS and WMWifiRouter works fine.
Sorry that's not a solution, but it's the only way I could get it to work. Not an expert ROM cooker, so my knowledge of how ICS is stripped / included in ROMs is fairly limited, though I understand the concepts and techniques.
Thanks for your help Christopher.
I considered flashing a working ROM. My worry is about losing all the programs I have installed on the device (it took a long time to get it *this* customised ;-) ) is there any way to flash the new ROM while keeping the old registry entries etc. for registering my programs (Especially those I've bought such as Oxford Handbook of Clinical Medicine - which I cannot register anymore)? ...
Or could I somehow back up the registry and restore it later (I know that's likely to be a dangerous idea...perhaps simply the file associations and programs stuff -the windows mobile section?)
Thanks bro!

Bumping as no replies for ages
Anyone?
Bumping again as no replies for a week or so
Bumping again to ask if anyone knows a way of slving this without having to reinstall all my programs, re register them, and reconfigure everything? (which I suspect installing a different ROM will do?) is it possible to back up the registry entries for all of my programs then do the ROM upgrade and restore the registry entries from my other programsMost of my programs are installed on the microSD card anyway (i didn't want to use up the main memory and slow the device up).??
If so how?
Thanks again folks !
I have the same problem...
I cant seem to find the answer but will continue to try.
if your programs are installed on your memory card then chances are you should be able to past shortcuts into the programs directory after reflashing. I tend to do this BUT I have found some programs that need to be re-installed or re-registered. Backing up registries can cause SERIOUS problems in itself so I would 1st do a full backup of your system (try spb backup, it backs up EVERYTHING on the phone then re-installs the lot so it seems like you never had a problem..) then flash. Try putting on shortcuts and if you have no luck you have the choice to start again on the new os or reflash to old and then restore backup (old problems wil still be there). Hope this helps.
Ps. I use resco explorer instead of the crap file explorer on the phone. It allows MUCH more versatility to do as I want. Cheers....
I still get the error about "not digitally signed with a trusted certificate" on my T-Mobile US HTC HD2. I downgraded my SPL and added the hspl. After that I flashed to the cell series EVO rom. At first I can install anything, and then after a few hours I get the error. Maybe the hard reset, or even installing marketplace is messing with it. I've tried a signer program, but it didn't work. I've also installed the new certificates and still nothing. Sorry for creating a new thread, but please help!
Based on my ssl secured exchange direct push experiecne you will need to install the actual certificate for the cab/server and if it is not a class1 certificateyou will need to install the root (class 1) certificate for it. Because you weren't clear with the exact details of your problem i'm only speculating as to what the problem is. Although i have just thought that if this is related to installed apps on to the device try copying them to the SD card and installing them from the device itself.
I'm new to all of this. As clear as I can get it, this stupid phone won't let me install apps after a period of time. Right after I flash the rom it prompts me with a yes or no, but later it goes straight to refusing to allow me to install. Its like apple's 3.1.3 and I lost my jail break or something! It says they aren't digitally signed. As far as installing the stuff, I don't know how. Any direction?
still cant install
I've been thinking about this and i can't come up with a reason as to what might cause it. So questions.
1) are you trying to run the cab files from on pc or directly on the phone?
2) Is it a specific cab file that you are using to this with or do you use any random one.
3) if you try to install app via activesync (.net compact framework 3.5 for example) does it install?
TMOUS devices actually have their own special board (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631) it may be worth having a look there and asking. It may also been worth trying a different rom from the ones you have tried. The energy series of roms seems to be very popular and i'm trying it out for my first custom rom. No problems at all yet and it does work very well.
Can you Help
I have had my HD2 for 2 days now and have only just today tried activating my hotmail and facebook accounts. with no prevail.
i was told by another member of XDA to check out my certificates;
well i have no certificates at all except for the root 1's, i dnt seem to be able to add any either. im well n truely a noob when it comes to the HD2 and its stressing me out hard
can any1 please help
any help would be much appreciated
thanks tom
Hi guys,
I'm trying to provision a HTC Touch 2 with RAPI. After I run this:
Code:
rapiconfig /p config.xml
I get this:
Code:
Config failed (0x80042008): A fatal transaction failure has occurred. The device may be in an unknown state.
I'm clueless in what I can do to fix this, since the .xml holds the security policy settings for the device...
Ultimately, I need to install a few cabs through a script, with no UI during install. Which i'm running with rapistart by the way.
Some help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't know about this Rapi Neo, but you can use Dotfred's Taskmanager to import a xml.
Edit; no UI ok, so no way you can install Dotfred LoL, sorry.
Thanks Laurentius, I'll still have a look at that.
I'll explain my scenario a bit more.
I have to run a script which installs a few cabs (so no cab security etc) and then modify the start menu, so users are only able to run forementioned apps and a few standard things like contacts, sms, that sort of thing. Settings should be blocked or removed, so they won't be able to change any settings made before running the script.
The first problem arises with getting rid of the security. RAPIconfig usually was able to send a provisioning xml to the device (on wm6.1) and change the security policy keys in the registry. This time, i'm running it on a wm6.5 device. So i'm doing something wrong there.
And last but not least: I used to be able to run CeRun.exe in the script on wm6.1 (does almost the same as RAPIstart.exe, but is able to do multiple cab installs at the same time, without showing the installation on the device) and i'm wondering why it doesn't work in 6.5 anymore.
I guess no one ever used RAPI tools?
