I am trying to install the registry editor PHM Reg Edit. I've copied the MSI file I downloaded to the memory card but when I click it I get this message - There is no application associated with PHMRegEdit.
Any ideas? Do I need to install an unzip program?
Run the MSI from your pc with the phone connected - it will install it on your device. You can only install files on your handset via .cab files.

I did try that first and it installed on my PC but not the phone? I can't find it anywhere!
I'm connected via active sync, I'm assuming that's right?

Well, then you should be prompted with the choice of installing the software...Anyway, if you run the msi on your PC, you now have somewhere on your hard disk, the cab for regedit, you can copy it to your SD and install it from there directly on the HD2
you could also download the cab instead of the msi

Yes I'm prompted but doesn't give the option to choose the phone. After installing it on the PC I tried running setup and I get a box popup asking me to add/remove programs on the phone?
Screenshot below are the files that it's installed on the PC, nothing is on the phone?!!

Ok here's the thing, I downloaded and installed a program from "Skyscape" but couldn't get it working successfully and now can't seem to fully "get rid of it".
Everytime I connect to PC a window briefly pops up (I think its something looking for updates) and everytime I explore my Storage Card through my PC I can see the following folder "Skyscape_Backup".
Everytime I delete it and everytime I plug back in its there again :?
Please Help...
What can I do?
Cheers for any assistance,
marto
How are you deleting it?
Have you used add/remove programs?
After that, check your windows\start up folder and also the program folder it might have been installed in on your device.
If it's still there, it might be a service. Use SKTools to clear that kind of rubbish. Backup first though, danger will robinson, destroy all operating systems...
V
Yep tried "remove programs" which now no longer lists the problem program, also tried deleting through PC. Can't see anything which has the same sort of name in "windows" and "startup" except maybe (and thats a big maybe) ssdeviceid application.
Can't see anything in my book about SKTools I assume its a download?
Will have a search through the forum database and so on
Thanks for your input V.
Yep, sktools is a download.
Is the window that's popping up on the pc or the pda? You didn't state I think.
Also, check in activesync. beneath where it shows all the syncing progress, does it show anything related to skyscape there?
V
Sorry for the delay V (was trying to figure out how to do screen shots)
Yep the popup is at the PC's end.
I installed SKTools it looks pretty dangerous... is there any particular function from it I should be using?
Cheers, marto

Oops forgot to mention "no" nothing seen in ActiveSync.
Yep, don't worry about sk tools. I thought it made sense that the program was on your pc.
Have you removed the program from your PC?Again, use add/remove programs on pc to remove all trace, then check this program: Autoruns
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Autoruns.html
Check each tab for possible entries. the program obviously tries to sync itself with the PDA everytime. I hate programs that are so misbehaved and think they know better.
For the PDA, backup often so you can always go back to a clean-ish setup.
V
Hmm no success looking with Auotruns, and nothing in "Add/remove".
Was thinking while crashed out on the sofa that I might try to install it all again then uninstall it in a more stable way (I think I may have done it a bit all over the place) otherwise might blast off an email to there support....
Another day more time to play... :lol:
Activesync? How would you do it? Through file explorer or something?
I'm doing it by standard means of Windows.
Yeah, just enter your share's name on your device. The built in file explorer will do it, but I prefer Resco.
Browsing my pc via wifi:

Can you not Active Sync via wifi then??
I have wifi but never tried it
I don't think so.
I don't know for sure as I don't use Activestink. (It will not run on my computer)
When I was using AS and the built in file explorer I didnt see an option to look in My Network? Do I need to configure anything? The furthest "Up" I could get to was My Device
I dont understand how to get to My Network? Anyone?
How do you connect to your networked PCs?
Hey how did you connect to your networked PC? I have Total Commander and have tried setting up the network neighborhood through that to no avail Can you access the network neighborhood via the built in file viewer?! If so how?
Thanks, Jess
BTW, Microsoft disabled ActiveSync via wifi in version 4 due to complaints of security, etc. Try 3.8 I believe that was the last version that supported sync over wifi. (Although I have not tried it)
Im not sure how to setup a network with my phone? Anyone know how to do this? Please?! Thanks!
Sorry to go on but... Anyone?
I think I need to set up a network on my computer so the phone can connect to it? Yes? No?
This works for me:
My Computer
Computer name: pchome
Create a folder on you PC for example "PocketPC" and share this folder!
PocketPC
Using TotalCommander in this example.
- Open TotalCommander
- Double click "\\" It should be above "Application Data".
- Double click "LAN"
- Double click "< new server >
- Enter "pchome" -> "OK"
- Press "OK" again
Now it should show pchome on your screen.
When you double click it it should show you your shared folders
Hmmm, that looks good I will have to try this when I get home.
To share a folder you just right click it and tick the share box or something dont you?
Correct
I cant get it to work ?
I followed all those steps... Hmmmmmmmmm, just coming up no files in the folder
I followed the same steps, even have other folders that are shared... still not working... hmm
Thanks, Jess
1. download the file "screenrotate.zip", then decompress it
2. then you will see three files

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
3. use resco registry to import "1.reg"
4. copy another 2 file to the device folder "windows"
5. reset the machine, FINISH!

Nice to meet you here!
Hi,GilesTheAlmighty
The theme you needed here. It is done by my buddy-Kicd!
And you can download many beautiful themes from my friends in www.hkppc.com
Doesn't work for me
I tried this screen rotate fix on my TyTn (HTC Rom 1.35), and it doesn't work.
I looked at this, but quite frankly there are so many apps that include this as an included feature...
It does't work on my TyTN (ROM 2.11.258.1) ... Neiter the xelashiu's solution, nor vijay555's registry keys...
Is there a solution?!
This How To will show you step by step how to create a cab file.
You can cab up anything you want to put on your phone in ANY directory...
Cab Manager Program
I use and recommend WinCE Cab Manager (Get it HERE)
it has a 30 day free trial and is $99 after that...
Sure there are more out there... Feel free to Post
Getting Started
First you will need a file to cab. We will start with a basic single manila file.
i have attached one if you don't already have..
* Here you can simply add a document/picture to your my documents folder
After Installing Open WinCE Cab Manager
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Enter Name's for Company and whatever cab your making
Just Click Next..
Just Click Next Again....
And now click finish...
Now this should be what you have. Displays all info for cab file
Now we need to add the files.
From windows explorer just click and drag the files right on top of Files...
Once you do that the following dialog box pops up...
Here you can change name or attributes
Click Location tab
Here you can choose what directory to put file(s) in. you can also add a new folder
Click Ok
Now back at main screen
Here you can "Allow Uninstall"
also you can Compress
I recommend compressing for files over a meg or two
From the menu click CABINET...PROPERTIES...
Here you can change ALL properties of cab file
Click OK...
Back at the Main Screen...
All left to do is review and Save
You can also add Shortcuts and make changes to the registry...
Now to Save...Choose location and SAVE!

Awesome, thank you!! I'd been looking at some other "how-to-cab" guides, this one seems to be as simple as can be
Looks like I've got my weekend project all lined up now

Place the files from the Zip into the root of your SD Card.

Are you on Windows? You have to reconnect your Desire and enable Mass Storage to see it.

if u modify the autorun.inf on the icon part to say icon=whateverfolder\HTC Desire.ico
e.x ICON=resource\HTC Desire.ico
Then you can have the icon in whateverfolder you want, and it will still be read when mounting the device (if your like me and dont like more than neccessary in the root directory of the SD card.
here http://iirojappinen.deviantart.com/art/HTC-Desire-icon-163467079
mmm.... seems that when i copy the autorun.inf and ico file to my sd on the desire.... it deletes the inf file!!!
Thanks for that tiny but nice icon mate

Same here.. if i disable and enable mass storage the .inf file is gone
maybe anti virus software delete it
Don't have such a thing
Its the same for me, even if I make the file read only....
Yeah, it has nothing to do with antivirus s/w ...... my antivirus s/w didnt quarantine anything, or flag the autorun.inf file.... i even disabled the av... and tried again... same issue...!Oh well...
Simple but very good idea! Working well on my desire! Just used the alternative icon with the display on and looke awesome! Thanks!
Thanks ! looks great now and with a personalized name
Tried this a while back, autorun.inf just gets deleted from the SD card when I enable Disk Drive mode.
Absolutely great taste, A+
Same here, since I upgraded to Froyo using the HTC update with sense it kicks off the *.inf from the SD-Card, saaaaaad.
PS: I have no antivirus or else active by the time I tested it.
