You need to change install dir of the cabs. You can use WINCE Cab manager to do this.

no other way??? Reg edit or else...

Hello? plz it would be soo cool

That's the only way. You have to modify the cab (s) and change install path.

Hi find this a pain also. I requested Tom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5385940&postcount=220 to use two folders inside the autoinstall one. This way we could select which cabs would install in SDCard and in the Main Memory.
Hope he will add this feature.

Hi, whre can i download Tom´s Autoinstall as .cab-File?

So what's the problem with having 7Mb left?

Good question, but i also would like to install on sd-card for several reasons.
Is there any possibillity to ask once for the place of installation?
Would be nice, thank you in advance tom.

Could any of you guys please give this a try as a hopeful solution for Installing to SD using Tom's AutoInstall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6608162&postcount=47
I am assuming that Tom's AutoInstall processes '.MSCR' scripts contained in the AutoInstall folder of the SD card. If so, this is similar to the functionality of "XDA_UC" by Noonski.
User benjamminzIS has modified a script used by "SASHIMI" (another great auto-install/configure tool) to make it standalone and able to process files contained in XDA_UC/SDauto folder on the SD card. (Please see the above post for his explanation and download.)
So if you placed this script (also attached) in the AutoInstall folder (as per Tom's utility), then placed all .cabs that are to be installed to memory-card in XDA_UC/SDauto (as per the script/XDA_UC utility), we'd all be very interested to know if it works!...
Please feedback with results.
Good luck and all the best,
Hirshy

Can't install .NET Framework 2.0

Hi all,
i have a fresh JasJar and i need to install the .Net Compact Framework 2.0 but when i try to install (main memory) it gives me an unknow error number 4.
I have a lot of free space in my device, approx 30 Mb, so where is the problem ?
I need the .Net Compact Framework to run IBE Mail.
Bye

Me too. I've tried closing applications, but without luck
RE
Using ActiveSync may give problem. I installed using the cab file method
You can get the cab file ffrom here (near to the bottom)

If you cannot install try install WiFiFoFum with the CF installer Package. After that remove WiFiFoFum (if not needed) and you'll have the CF left behind

Why install it in the main memory? I installed it to my SD Card and it went without any problems.

I used the .exe file through active sync. I had reformatted my computer, I had performed hard resets numerous times on my EXEC and Net Framework 2 always installs without any problem to my SD Card and works very well.

Are you sure it's actually on the SD card?
I tried telling it to install to SD-card three times (uninstalled between each attempt) and practically nothing went onto the SD card - it just created an empty folder there. :roll: Took out over 5-MegaByte of main memory though and didn't recover all of that when it was removed! :evil:

YES, I explored my SD Card and it has a folder named NetFrame2 or something like that under Windows>Programs
I did not loose any internal memory. As of now after a soft reset, I have about 32MB of internal memory with 31 different applications installed. 26 applications installed to my SD Card and 5 system applications installed on my internal memory. No freezes, no delays, no missed calls, no loss of system preferences, switching from landscape to portrait or vice versa takes 1 second, so I am pleased with my settings.

I didn't actually clicked on the folder, I'll have to check that the next time I sync. I just assumed it was installed there.

I hope you're lucky and it worked for you!
Might be worth checking the \Windows folder, however, as that's where I found all the .Net v.2 stuff dumped. The .Net v.1.x stuff is in ROM, so I'm hoping that a future ROM update will have v.2 in ROM.
Pants - just noticed that CF2 folder on SD card is empty!
Any solution to this?
Cheers,
Steve
(Am using Opera - apologies for double spaces)
I've looked into this a bit further, and according to the guys at Microsoft http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/default.aspx - the Framework will always take up storage space, and it wouldn't work if it were only installed on the SD card.
Let's hope that a future ROM release will include it.
Cheers,
Steve.
Here is what I noticed on mine. I just performed a hard reset. I started out with 31MB internal memory. I opted to store NetFramework to my SD Card which is around 5MB in size. So if what you guys claim that NetFrameWork does not install to the card is true, it should eat up the 31MB internal memory right? But I still end up with 31MB internal memory after the install. I did check my SD Card and found the folder there which is empty if I clicked on it. But, my SD Card has less memory than I started with, close to 5MB. So my conclusion is: It installs to the SD Card but maybe active sync does not allow us to see the actual file and size, so it appears the folder is empty.
According to what Microsoft say:
Installing NETCF V2 to storage card
While it is technically possible to redirect installation of NETCF onto storage card via standard Active Sync/WCELOD capabilities, it won’t save precious RAM on device. NETCF files have to be in \Windows folder in order for NETCF to function properly.
If NETCF is installed to storage card, NETCF files will be initially deployed to it. However, at some point they would moved to \Windows folder taking out exactly the same space as normal installation would.
In some cases attempt to use storage card would lead to installation failure due to some subtle storage card issues. Thus it’s not recommended to install NETCF V2 to storage card or embedded storage and there are no benefits of doing so.

So try installing WifiFoFum (or another .Net CF2 app) and see how your memory availability alters.
Cheers,
Steve.
I also use WiFIFoFum and stored it to my card. It works great. After use of WiFiFoFum, my Internal Memory goes down to about 27MB, I already expected that. Closing all applications via settings puts my internal memory to about 29MB, also expected that as Windows Mobile 5 leaves some parts of the application open for faster reference the next time you open it up. After performing a soft reset my Internal Memory goes back to 31MB. So this still does not change my conclusion that NetFrameWork 2 was installed to my SD Card.
I had a problem installing .NET 2.0 and I found that if I rename/remove previous attempted installs (eg, the dir and files), my 2nd attempt is usually successful.
This goes for most any program that doesn't install properly. I've noticed that this usually happens to me after an upgrade of the same app.

Are you talking about "Program" memory? I'm talking about "Storage" memory - I don't think that's affected when you open/close applications or perform soft resets...
Cheers,

How can install Tom Tom in memory card?

Hi to all,
I'd like to install TomTom 6.032(8351) in my memory card.
At the moment it is stored in: My Device\Programs\Navigator
Can I safely move the directory in the memory card?
Thanks!
Yes?
I have tom tom installed on to the memory card on my XV-6700 and the application launcher installed on to the main memory.
You may have to reinstall the launcher if it dont see the map data after you move it!

So first I can try to move the dir and left the .exe in My Device\Programs\Navigator directory.
If it doesn't work I have to reinstall the launcher ...
But ... how can I reinstall the launcher?
um, isnt intallation into the SD card optional?
I've moved the whole folder to the storage card and changed the .lnk file to match the new location.
You can start it using the modified .lnk but the today pluging will not work anymore.

HTC Website Updates/Hot Fixes.

Hi all,
There are a few updates/hotfixes for the Leo on the HTC website at the moment which I want to download and install. My question: As some of these files are quite large, one is 12mb, where would these files be installed, internal memory or SD card, or will I be given a choice as per cab installation?
Thx for any replies.

Thx for the reply.
I have about 60mb of free memory on my phone at the moment. The updates/hotfixes I've downloaded, 9 files in all, add up to about 32mb. I know I should have probably gradually downloaded and installed these files. Therefore I would prefer to install to SD card. Can anyone see any problems with this, or do these files NEED to be installed direct to the device?
Again thx for any replies.

these updates are not like cabs, and install into the ROM directly replacing previous file, so no extra storage is used up.
Not to mention you could just, take the stuff on your actual phone's memory and shift whatever files you have eating up the ridiculous amount of space the phone has on board to the SD card as well.
System files or updates shouldn't ever go on the SD card unless you're doing rom changing and that's a completely different beast. Reason being for me is that an SD card can mess up over time plus its nice to have reference to the files incase you need them again in the future.
