Hi all,
I have Molski's 30MB G3 Rom (3rd Release) installed on my Wizard. Using Activesync, I can not browse the Windows directory from my PC. I used Resco Explorer and checked the permissions/properties of the Windows directory. I removed the Read-only, Hidden, Archive, and System flags from the directory and still no change. The windows directory does not even show up.
If I try to type in the \Windows into the address bar while browsing the PPC it bumps me to the C:\Windows.
Once I check the permissions again on the windows directory, the flags I turn off are still checked again...
set your pc to show hidden files. Does that do it?

Hello,
I just updated my qtek 9090 with BA_DT_WWE_DutchRetail_14000_553_11200_Ship.exe.
And there is no activesync on the pda...
Activesync works but i can`t start the program so i can`t sync with my exchange server...
Any idea`s?
Regards
If you hit the start button, you do not see Activesync along the top?
If you don't, then go into your Windows Directory using File Explorer and select "View all files" from the hold-menu. Then look to see if you have 2 files names async, one should be 1B, and the other 14 or so bytes. If you do, and you are SURE Activesync does not appear in your programs list nor the top of your Start Menu, then copy the 1B file and paste it into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs to be set.

Thanks, yeah it was nowhere to be found, but as you said in the windows root dir both files showed up. I was unable to copy (the files kept disapearing again.. but when i used "create shortcut" in resco file explorer it made the shortcut with out problems... (it seems to be a problem which more ppl have with this rom update)
So thanks alot..

is there an app for the alpine that lets you extract cab files from exe.files without using a pc
I think most of the .exe actually contain a Win32 installer, so I believe there is no realy way to extract the CAB from it, apart from running it on the PC.
However, most of the time you can get the CAB on the PC and install it without using ActiveSync. The Installer usually extracts the CAB to C:\Program Files\[Name of Software] or C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\[Name of Software]. Grab it there and store it on your device, then install with CabInstaller for example.
Cheerio !
If you must go hardcore and decompress a cab on your phone, try it with a RAR decompresor. They open on the PC with winrar, but you'll lose file name & structure.

Sometimes the PC .exe file automatically deletes the CAB file from the PC & you won't be able to find it on the PC.
If you have an app that behaves like this, run the .exe on the PC & click on OK/Next until you get to the dialogue that asks you 'Install "AppName" using the default install directory?', just after you see the 'Retrieving Device Data' notification.
Now fire up Windows Explorer on the PC and search your \Program Files\ and \Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\ directories for your software developer's name. The CAB files should be inside this folder.
Note: All you need is the CAB file. If there is more than one, make sure you pick the correct Processor type ie .ARM for Himalaya or Alpine, not SH3 or MIPS. You don't need any .ini files either.
Hi,
does anybody know how to set the program files dir from /program files to /programme so that all Programs will be installed into /programme by default.
Thanks

I don't think it's possible to force all programs to go into specific folder (I think you have localised version of windows - german?) Some apps use their own paths (without checking system defaults) you just cannot change - same problem exists in localised german Windows XP - even though c:\Programme is default, some apps just stick to c:\Program files.
You can use WinCE Cab Manager to edit your cab files and change the Default Install Dir.
I can see my windows folder on the phone, but exploring the phone through windows and my laptop I don't see the windows folder.
correct.
You will not see your windows root directory via activesync. You need to make whatever changes you need on PPC via a File Explorer App.
If you use Windows Explorer, go into Tools (Press ALT to see the menu) > Folder Options and set it to show protected system folders and then refresh the window if needed. This is tested to work on Vista. As for XP, you can use ActiveSync and hit "Explore" to see it.
Something strange happened: If I open my file explorer (GSExplorer, file explorer or bluetooth explorer) and I navigate to Internal Memory, I can't open the folders that are inside anymore.
For some reason, the extension of the folders inside have changed to .exe. When I click on them I get the error-message "My Documents.exe 'My Documents' is not a valid Pocket-PC application".
If I connect my Diamond to my pc I can browse the folders but instead of opening on the already open folder, it opens a new window. It's like the My Documents.exe file is a Shortcut to itself and can only be opened if I browse my Diamond on the pc.
The strange thing is that I haven't changed a thing since 2 months ago and the problem only occured a week ago. The ROM installed is the dutch AZTOR ROM and software I installed include Advanced Condiguration tool, GAlarm, GSFinder and Gyrator.
I don't know if it's relevant, but if I connect my diamond to the pc, there's a new option in the popup (the one where you can chose to explore the diamond, copy images to a folder, ...) It's called "Run Recycle.exe. I searched a bit more about recycle.exe and it appears to be spyware but I haven't found how to remove this spyware.
I'd really appreciate a solution to this problem and I'd also like to know how it happened. I could reload the ROM on my diamond but 2 months laters, it could happen again...
Thanks in advance.
it seems to me that you're infected with a virus... do a scan with your favorite antivirus/spyware and see how it goes.
Same thing happened to me, but in laptop not in ppc
Then it was virus, that was making an exe file in the name of the folders. But for PPC, I'm not very sure. But guess it's the same...suggest to check the system with a good antivirus....
Allright thanks.
I think the virus is gone now, but the folders are still in .exe. Can I remove this extension? I tried properties in GSFinder, but no luck...
