OCP CAB Manager sucks!!!
OCP CAB Manager sucks!!!
It is only good for opening other .cabs, if you want to extract something out of it... and it costs lots of MONEY for such a crap...
Use Cabwiz instead. It is free as it is part of the PocketPC SDK.
You will need to create .inf file, where you can specify, what should be copied, to which location and so on.
below is zipped version of one of my apps as a sample. )
Once you have your .inf ready, simply drag and drop it onto CabWiz icon...
Here (http://www.sundialsoft.freeserve.co.uk/cabinfo.htm) is a perfect guide, how to write .inf files for CabWiz....

I'm not sure where you got the idea that WinCE CAB Manager can't create new CAB files. It certainly can, and it's a whole lot easier than Cabwiz.
Try this new cab making utitlity. Its suppose to bypass most grueling issues of cab making... Havnt tried it out yet as I just downloaded 2 mins ago. its new from....tim kremer

Use WinCE Cab Manager. It's simple as working with a ZIP/RAR archive. Drag & drop supported for file edition & replacements.
Any help
Ok guys, I downloaded the OCP Software, that is great and all, but I would actually like to know what code is used and if there is something that will allow me to learn how to write the code. I do know a little about writing in VB 6.0, I know that is not a widly used program code. So if anyone could help me please, that would be great. Thanks
Is there any other easiest technique?

Do a OEM package, it is super easy to do, and execute oem2cab. If you cant find it I can share it with you
Ye,its good if you share it with me.I ll be come at your facebook page but if you share here,then it will be good for me.

Hi.
Can anyone of u plz tell me how to use open gl and how to install thongs like Diamond cubes themes and more. Plz teach me how to do this cuz i cant get this things to work. I wana use me htc for something funny not just use it like a phone.
plz help me if u can.
I am not an experienced person, but I try to answer you.
you need a file called CAB. Download the CAB file for a particular program.
Never unzip it. The CAB file itself acts as a exe file.
1) Sync your diamond to the PC with active sync.
2) copy the cab file to your diamond
3) double click on the cab file.
4) Install either on your ROM or internal memory
Good luck!
Google is your friend.
If your new to Pocket PC devices, check this out.

Carty..
Thx guys for great help
I have been all over this site, ppcgeeks and sprintusers and maybe I am on brain overload, but I do not understand how to install manila files. I have done programs and cabs. I have all sorts of tweaks and changes on my diamond. I am trying to change just my icons. i have downloaded many of the files that people create, but cannot figure out where to get them to install. any help anyone could pass on will be sooo appreciated. I have Diamond TF3D Config, I have Diamond Tweaks and I have PHM RegEdit...what am i missing?
I have the same question as Kndracing. Dont know what to do with the manila files.

Copy them to your \Windows folder with Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
so why use total commander and not just drag the manila into window\, pls. fill me out with more details. Thank you.

Because ActiveSync/File Explorer can't copy files with System attribute and Total Commander can. Apart from that, it is a way better file manager than the system one. And unlike the desktop version, it is free.

I have also attached QuickCab 1.0 - You can use this to create your own .cabs in future. Just use QuickCab.exe. It is an easy to use GUI and wizard.
Also included in the QuickCab 1.0.zip that might be of interest to you is MSCEInfen.exe - This file is used to decompress .cab files to their original formats.

What are you trying to install?...and where? I am sorry if I am miss understanding you but it sounds like you have a file with a reg file and another folder named files? is this right?
something like that. when i down load a file its not a cab file.it is a zip file. when i unzip. it has a folder with program with some files in the folder, but out of the folder or root directory there is 2to 3 files look like reg file. i do not know where to place these file.

Post the file or link me to where you got it please. I want to make sure I give you good info so it works.
sounds like a cracked app, where you get the prog folder and a reg file to crack it.

I thought so as well till he\she said they got it on xda, that made me think maybe a kitchen ext package
The cab files can be opened with winzip on your PC. The contents of a cab file is usually an xml file, icon file and other files for installation. Are you sure you are not opening a cab file in winzip?

ahh yea.that makes sense.
ok for example. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611007
CUSTOM-djet-CameraSettingsPatch , it is a rar file costum patch. when i down load it has a folder and a files where do i place the folder and where do i place the files on my THC HD2
Thats an OEM package for use in kitchens when cooking ROMS. You cant install it to a running system. (Well, not in that form anyway)

From the look of the reg it enables one of the hidden functions in the camera. I thought most cooks enabled all the functions when they cooked up the rom but could be wrong. I know I do

Gotcha, thanks man! Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything I don't already have
icons
can u help me with one more thing. i downloaded some icons. it does not have any other files but icons and album file. when i place the file into the windows directory. gives me an message that it can not be overitten due to not enough space and file is being used. how do i change go around it.
thks jelendel. for making file in to cab.
similar problems/questions
most cab files/apps i download and install are very straight forward and I save to storage card and there are right there on my "start" screen. others I download and I cant find them? I look through the file explorer but either cant find them or dont know what to do if I do find the file.
example, egg timer 1.0 -I can find it listed on "remove programs" page page so I know I got it. but how do I get it to a more 'usable' location.
another example. I want to get the Bluetooth toggle (BTtoggle) from pocketnow site. I downloaded the app, then it says I need to edit my registry (I understand the dangers of this) at
"HKLM\software\HTC\Manilla" and change the value of HomeLSKPath to the path to your BTtoggle.exe .....etc.....
First time editing registry, so sounds like I need to get a registry editor. I looked for a free one. CeRegEdit version 5.2.exe file. looks like it downloaded ok but I cant find on device??
LASTLY, I use CoOkies home editor and I really like it, but does that mean I cant do other changes/app installs to any HTC sense items/lock screen/home screen/etc? thanks for reading this far....steve
Or if you know of easier to get bluetooth toggle or any kind of timer applications so I dont burn food at the fire station, feel free to reccomend...Thanks

Aloha, and just because you're in civil service like that, I'll give you a hand with this one here...but it's usually best to open a new thread with a bunch of questions like that. You can just edit your post above to just say "moved to new thread", and then copy all that you wrote into a new thread you start...you'll probably get more views/responses that way too
These cabs will give you a toggle for bluetooth, wifi, and a reset button. Once you run the cab, you can find them in your start menu, but they're most useful when you assign them to one of the quicklink spots (on your home tab), just like you would any other program.
P.S. you'll find a lot more useful stuff for your new phone right here in these forums, and 99% of it is free, and known to work on the HD2 (unless stated otherwise). Start HERE and HERE
Ok heres my dilema:
I wan't to cook in loads of manila files, but theres a few different versions of each one, and they aren't going into windows.
its better I explain it, heres an example:
Root Folder
\Folder 1
¬FileX
\Folder 2
¬FileX
\Folder 3
¬FileX
How can I do this? is I cant put the same file (FileX) in the files folder of a package as it has the same file name... The only way I can think of is to have a seperate package for each invidual file, and considering theres over 40 files, its going to take a long time!
Are there anymore efficient ways to do this? Thanks

If all these files go into "\Windows", there will be only one in the end ... not 40. Meaning the last "FileX" your kitchen finds will have overwritten all the others ...
You can't end up with all these files, without doing a little bit of legwork.
When you cook a ROM, all the files end up in \Windows, and are then moved around as required.
So, you could either cook all the files in with different names (so they don't overwrite) and then move them using a provxml or initflashfiles.dat, or you could cab up all the files, and run the cab after first boot.
The easiest way is to use a cab or to put everything in a zip file and use an 'inzipall' mortscript to unzip the folders wherever you want during customization.

Hmm the cab sounds like a good aproach, although still I wouldn't be able to have more than one manila file with the same name in the cab.

Cab files do allow you to specify the paths, so they do allow you to have files with the same name. WinCE CAB Manager is a good choice to create cabs. You can then use RunCC / Autorun/ XDA_UC to install it during the first boot.

Just take a look at this package; it has a zip file, a mortscript, and the add2config that you need. Here's a mortscript package that you can use.
You could also rename the files for example "1_FileX", "2_FileX" and have initflashfiles.dat rename it to the filename you want it to be, like so:
Directory("\Folder_1"):-File("FileX","\Windows\1_FileX")
Directory("\Folder_2"):-File("FileX","\Windows\2_FileX")

But that would really clog up your ROM, so the mortscript way is better.

Yes but putting the files in will overwrite eachother, as they have to have the same file name

Thanks I dont understand what the mortscript for is (the one from 4shared) but Im using the add2config package, I think I get it I will let you know when its finished cooking. Although I am having a problem where none of my add2config packages are working so it might be useless

Yeah but the files have to keep the same name
You need mortscript support cooked into your rom one way or another if you're going to use zip files; that's what the 4shared package is for.

That's ok if you're talking a couple of files, but if you're talking a few dozen (or more), then putting together all the initflashes scripts will get tedious.
