How to install IBM Websphere Everyplace Micro Environment v6

Anyone knows how to install IBM Websphere Everyplace Micro Environment v6.0 (for WM5) - VGA High Res for the Universal?
It creates a MidLet Manager.
After downloading the program and installing the exe file only the files are installed on the C: drive. It does not install to the UNiversal although activesync is on and there's no cab file to install on the Universal.
Anyone knows where's the cab file?
Thanks

Try checking your PC to see if it has extracted the Cab to the hard drive while attempting an install. You will often find it in
\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync.
Sometimes you can also find it in the exe file by opening it with WinRAR.

RE
Hi admisi,
Nope, even unRAR cannot locate the cab file. Its not even in \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync since the program does not sync with my Universal even with AS connected.
However, and finally, I managed to get it installed
There's a pdf file with the following instructions :-
1. Download the product Installer to the Host PC from the following Web site: http://www.ibm.com/software/wireless/weme/.
Note: Three versions of the product installer are available. One version supports PDA with VGA/Hi-Res, another supports PDA with QVGA, and the last supports Smartphone with QVGA.
• PDA with VGA/Hi-Res support: ibm-weme-wm50-arm-vga-midp20-6.0.0-
YYYYMMDD-######-###.exe
• PDA with QVGA support: ibm-weme-wm50-arm-midp20-6.0.0-YYYYMMDD-######-
###.exe
• Smartphone with QVGA support: ibm-weme-wm50-sp-arm-midp20-6.0.0-YYYYMMDD-######-###.exe
2. Use the Extraction Wizard to extract the files. IMO, just install to default location. Extract the files to the default location indicated.
3. Use File Explorer to go to the root folder on your mobile device and create a new folder named J9.
4. Open the J9 folder and create a MIDP20 folder.
5. Copy the previously unzipped bin, lib and examples (can ignore this) directories to the MIDP20 folder.
Note: These directories can be copied to any location you choose on the target file system; however, the \bin and \lib directories must remain intact. The base J9 executable and its shared objects must remain in the \bin directory.
Some steps have been ignored.

Does the personal profile version support midlets too? or only the MIDP version supports it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Nope, PE doesn't support midlets and vica versa.
BTW, here's my tutorial on the 6.1 install: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=787&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Install apps to Universal (WM6) using Linux host?

Hi Folks.
Many programs for PocketPC are wrapped in MS-Windows .msi installers.
I will never understand why, I don't see any benefits coming with it and you always need a USB connection (not seldomly involving administrative privileges to get the device registered in Windows), active sync and so on, just to install some lousy program
I don't like MS Windows (the desktop versions) and therefore I don't have it and I don't use it. I have access to Windows computers at work, but not enough system rights on the machines to get a usb connection.
Is there a way to
either:
install programs on the Universal using alternative helper applications (GNU/Multisync etc.), preferably open source and running natively on linux machines?
or even better:
extract the .cab archive from an .msi or .exe installer file so it can be directly copied to the PDA and executed there?
I've played with Multisync a little, but it only seems to support contact synchronization, no software installation...

Well if you have a windows pc you can start the installation process,
then when it tells you to install the program on the universal,
don't click on install, but use total commander or a similar program
to search for *.cab files. You will find the cab somewhere.
Copy it to your sd card or wherever because after the installation completes
the cab will be deleted.
Another way would be to install Virtual box on your Linux machine and
install Windows on that. Then you can have the virtual machine use your
usb port.
You'd have to search on google to find information on how to do that.

I'm in the same situation: no windows machine to run installers from.
I've had some luck using cabextract ( http://www.cabextract.org.uk/ )
When that fails (quite often it does) I've usually been able to get the .CABs by running the installer under Wine.*
To do this, I had to install activesync under Wine. It's a while since I did this, but apparently I downloaded the file activesync_4.2.setup.exe from microsoft.com and ran that with Wine.
When you run an installer for a WM app, it won't actually install onto your device (that would be too easy!) and in fact I don't even bother connecting my uni to my linux box during this stage. The aim is simply to get the .CAB files extracted.
The app installer usually craps out at the stage when it would transfer the files to my uni, but it's already extracted the .CABs. I generally find these in
Code:
/my/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ActiveSync/
or
Code:
/my/wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Name_of_Application/
or sometimes in
Code:
/my/wine/drive_c/windows/temp/
Hope this info is some use to you!
*Full disclosure: actually, I use the version of wine that comes with Google's picasa 2.2, wrapped in a little script to set up the environment variables. That script, which I call picasawine goes as follows:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
mydir=/opt/picasa
export PATH=$mydir/../wine/bin:$mydir:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$mydir/../wine/lib:$mydir/../lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export WINEDLLPATH=$mydir/../wine/lib/wine
export WINELOADER=$mydir/../wine/bin/wine
export WINESERVER=$mydir/../wine/bin/wineserver
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.picasa
exec /opt/picasa/wine/bin/wine [email protected]
so I run as (eg)
Code:
picasawine SETUP.EXE

Step By Step tutorial to get it working
1. Download BIOS File - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GEW0PM4S
2. Download roms from http://www.emuparadise.org/ Make sure you own the original copy or that would be considered illegal.
3. Download http://www.neillcorlett.com/ecm/ (Mac users download the Mac GUI Port in the link)
MAC Users you will need to download the expander for the above program to work. Free download http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html
After you download the expander drag the ECM program (.sit) into that expander, you will get a new folder with the correct file in it.
4. Browse the zipped rom until you locate the .ecm file
5. Extract or move the .ecm to your desktop
6. Open the downloaded ecm program and select un-ecm
7. Locate your .ecm file
8. Click begin
9. Wait a few minutes, after its complete put the new .bin file in your nexus one
10. THATS IT!
This tutorial was mostly for mac users, cause I was having a hard time with my mac. Just want to help others.

[Q] Bypass hardware requirements

I'm trying to get Windows 8 Dev preview installed on an old tablet PC that doesn't meet the minimum specs. I'm not worried about performance as I'm not using the tablet for anything anyway and would just like to see how well it may run on there. It currently runs Windows 7 and is passable with that.
Does anyone know how to skip the minimum hardware requirements check for CPU and RAM so I can try and get this installed?
Thanks!

try this (for windows 7, but may work on 8):
1. Extract the contents of DVD ISO image to hard disk drive
2. Download and install HEX editor AptEdit Pro with HEX Editor plugin
3. Open winsetup.dll using the HEX editor. You can finf winsetup.dll inside the /source/ folder of the copied installation files.
4. Search following HEX string inside the file:
77073D7801
5. Replace the above HEX string with the below one:
E90400000
6. Click on Save to save the changes you have made
7. Run the setup.exe file and the installation should proceed without any RAM limit error messages
You are done.
For user who wants to start installation from bootable DVD instead, replace the winsetup.dll in the ISO with patched version, and then burn the ISO to disc. That’s it. you can follow any of above three ways to bypass 512 MB RAM limit while installing Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 or Windows 7 on your system.

no go
It doesn't work for Windows 8. May have worked for 7 but definitely not for 8 (I think)

Will this work for bypass processor check ? i'm with a pentium 4 and i have an error message ... :x

It won't work, even if you can bypass the install CPU-check (hint: use OTG). Win8 will still fail upon boot with an error. I already tried this on an old laptop with OTG.
