Genius 0.19

Dear All,
I have developed my first PocketPC game (see attached). It is similar to Master Mind but using numbers. This is the way we play it in Iraq
I would like some help in making an installation that automatically create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games. I am planning to publish the game as a freeware.
I am using VB .NET 2005 (.NET FX 2.0) so if I can include the re-distribution libraries that would make it easier for users, else I may need to point them at a link.
I used 2 different installtion builders but both only copy the CAB file to the Program Files but not make a shortcut for it. I have an *.inf file and haven't used the command line setup builder yet unless I have to.
Any easier way please?
ThanQ.

Need RM player for Wizrd !!

Hi Guys;
I've searched many times for a player that plays .rm and .ram files, but couldn't find it TCMP can't play these files, can anyone give me a link where to download or purchase this player ???
thank you in advance.

Tried this?

are u sure?
thanx for your help; but does it support windows mobile 5 ? I'm afraid of taking risk to install it !!! need a quick reply plzzz.

I adwise you to make a backup before installing. Make a backup with Sunnysoft Backup Manager or other available software.

I've tried. Works well on WM5.
Default setup is bad. you need to extract cab file in temp.
I've joined the default cab.

thank you buddy ..
Thanx alot; i've extracted your .cab file into TEMP folder on my device, then i've tapped on it to install the cool real one player; i'm happy with it ..

Re: thank you buddy ..
Wow.. Cool stuff..Thanks for sharing, Just got it installed on my Wizard.
Take a little longer to reboot. Able to run the RealOne player now..
Need to try some big files to checkout the performance.
For those who don't know how to extract the .cab file..You can do a search in google like me.. :roll: ..................... or try this :lol: ...
1) Start -> Run -> %temp% , to open the temp folder
2) run the xxxx.exe file, a new folder will generate in the temp folder.
3) copy the realplayer.cab inside the new folder into your ppc and install it.
Have fun..
Ops.. did not see the attachment until i login..

I got it, and also learn how to extract the cab file. thanks a lot. have fun.

VipMSCRexe is a utility to run MortScript without Assigning .mscr to MortScript.exe

VipMSCRexe is a utility to run MortScript without Assigning .mscr extension to MortScriptexe.
How to Use it
Rename exe to your scriptname.exe e.g if your script name is sashimi.mscr then rename this VipMSCRexe.exe to sashimi.exe
This utility will first find MortScript.exe in Current directory and Sub directory under it
if not found then look in \Program Files and sub directory
if still not found then look in \Storage Card\Program Files
if still not found then look in root directory.
Once MortScript.exe found then find <exename>.mscr in same above fashion.
Once script found then execute command like MortScript.exe scriptname.mscr parameter1 parameter2 etc.
Advantages of this Utility
you can have only one installation of MortScript and may be all your script in one another folder.
Now if you want to call any of script copy this exe and rename to your scriptname.exe
Basically if you have script name sashimi.mscr then copy this exe and rename to sashimi.exe and put it in any folder
Root or storage card any where and run exe will execute your script you do not give any path or tell where it located etc.
To me MortScript.exe only support one parameter where as this Utility support multiple parameter
Version 1.0
Initial version
Version 2.0
Make changes so that Arguments are passed properly
Performance Improvement using config file
Version 3.0
Performance and Special Chars Handling in Mortscript's Path
Version 5.0
Performance improvement Using registry values
Version 6.0
Fixed Langeuge issue
Fixed Error Handling Routine

Very interesting. I have several uses for this right away so I'll download it and test. Many thanks for sharing!

Just want to note that although this is a fine tool (I'm using it for SASHIMI), if you DON'T need to pass parameters to your program you would be better off to use a renamed Autorun.exe file from the MortScript download.
The only reason I say this is becuase of the delay that VipMSCRexe has when locating/opening the script.
But, if you need to pass parameters to your script, this is the tool!

Me too, I know that you may have heavy code inside to do like path checking & etc., may be another version with just execute the .mscr in same folder as MortScript.exe & <VipMSCRexe>.exe ?
Many thanks for this great app.,

Thanks, that the thing I need~~~

Hope you can me help
Hello,
i have program in the startup of my WinCE 5 Falk GPS. After the Hard Reset, has a Error. And the text:
Script \Temp\0084Script.mscr not found, waiting for existence (Storage Card not Initializied?)... After 3 sec. my falk stops.
Sry for bad english, im german.....

(Maybe) UC v3.0 - Get the BEST from user customization!

Ok, i was bored about rewriting sdconfig.txt everytime i changed the romlanguage, so i decided to make something that will avoid this, and will avoid to write the sdconfig.txt too
What are the main goals of my project?
Install everything you want without careing about romlanguage
automatize every process
How it works?
Simple. Put your cabs/exes/provxml/xml to import/run in your storage card folder "FB_Install"
Ok. You said that I can install exes, but if i need to add arguments to the execution of the file?
Simple again. Create a file (as an example, if your exe is "myexe.exe") naming myexe.arguments. in it write your arguments. You can use the arguments only on exes.
Well, and if i want to skip some files?
Just create (as an example, if your file is "mycab.cab") a mycab.skip file. This works with all types listed here (cabs, xml,provxml,exes)
Well, i need to hide the customization while I install a cab. How to do that?
Again simple. If your cab is mycab.cab, create a file with name mycab.hide
And if i want to don't reset at end?
Create a file with name "NoResetAtEnd"
Ok, i have that folder but right now i don't want to install anything. how to do that?
Create a file with name "SkipCustomization"
Ok. That's nice. But how i can add my own config codes as i done on UCv2?
Create a file "AddToConfig.txt" and add there your config codes. this will be appended after the other config codes generated by the program.
I want to create some shortcuts. How to do that?
Create a Shortcuts.txt containing the shortcuts to create. You have some IDs:
%SD%
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%
%PROGRAM_FILES%
%STARTUP%
%MYDOCUMENTS%
This will allow you to create an universal shortcuts.txt without careing about language.
Each line contains a shortcute to create. Example line:
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%\Test.lnk:%SD%\myprogram.exe
this will create a "Test.lnk" in \windows\start menu\programs folder pointing to \Storage card\myprogram.exe (that for wwe).
I want to copy some files in the windows folder. How?
Create a folder in FB_Install called "CopyInWindowsFolder". all files there will be copied to the windows folder. You can do that for Programs,Favorites,Fonts,Startup,Program files folders creating folders:
CopyInWindowsFolder
CopyInProgramsFolder
CopyInProgramFilesFolder
CopyInFavoritesFolder
CopyInFontsFolder
CopyInStartupFolder
I want to install some cabs to storage card instead of internal storage. how?
Just create (as an example, if your file is "mycab.cab") a mycab.ToSD file.
I will include that feature on my future ROMs, but if someone is interested i can release it here.
EDIT: yes i know that noonski done something similar but i was searching about something integrated

Nice idea. Good luck.
One thing though. There might be a clutter of files created but users which can get confusing? How about just parsing one file with all directions?

thanks. added other features on first post.

Maybe I missed it but is there anyway to automate .cabs to be installed on storage card?

If you can get that to work then it would be awesome..So far theres no automated option that works to install on storage card..

Well, i can say i now i got it to work. Requires a bit of work but it works. Well, visual studio is EXTREMELY powerful

Looks really good, I really like to try this UC

This is also a nice tool

finally got it to work right.
Now it can install CABs to storage card without problems

I want that in my ROMs too. Can you share it here?

solved problems on installing cabs too. The installation dll will NOT be executed so you won't need to care about user interaction while installing

Definatly interested in checking this out since it can install to storage card.
hope u make it available..

well that's something for cooks not for users (it needs to be cooked in to work) so if i release it you can't use it at least when someone use it in his rom...

To me it looks like MrDSL is a cook. The ROM linked in his signature is made by him.
Are there any news? Will you release it here soon?

A powerfull alternative;
Will it get released? I'm eager to test it Virtually in an Embedded WM6 environment;
Windows (Embedded) CE/WM6 PowerToy: DiskPrep;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655377
I'm glad though that User Customizer DevPrep (CPY2 Storage Card possible) saved my day(s) until now!

Command line decompressor for WM6.x?

I'm looking for a command line decompression utility for WM6.x platform. Unzip/unrar/uncab anything could be OK.
Anybody knows if such utility available?

idk if it can do EVERYTHING you want but try mortscript, it has built in winzip support and you can add winrar support to it also.

gzip, zip are easy to be implemented in .Net CF. Maybe will work for CAB also... for RAR no ideas.
you need this for scripting or to integrate in an application ? if it's for application you may find components available on the net, for scripts mortscript looks to be a good direction to look at...

I believe pocketrar (made by the winrar guys) does cmd line as well as gui.

nice to know... thanks for the tip, will test it tomorrow (here is almost midnight) but should be nice to make my device downloading RAR files and uncompress them automatically (just need to automate rapidshare now lol *private joke*)

Thanx mate.
I'll try all of them. pocketrar should be nice if that really works for silent unpack.
The idea behind is: I want to integrate it into the kitchen process.
A list of files/packages will be packed during rom build and they will be unpacked only at first call/run of the associated application. But the unpack process should be silent and command line decompression is the best deal in my opinion....
