sorry for the newbie question, but searching I didn't find a solution.
is possible to create a single install pack for some applications that, normally, are installed one by one?
for example, I usually install SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Pocket Diary, SPB Gprs Manager, CallSMS Blocker and few others.
I'd like to create a single install pack to install everything in 1 step.
is this possible or I'm only... dreaming?
thx in advance!

You could create a 2577 file on your storage card and add the cab files from the software you want to install. Can't remember what i had to alter (something to do with the autorun bit - add all the cab file names). Only thing with this is that it always asks if you want to install "x" so you still have to take time to do the installs.
Suggest you research the 2577 file and how to alter them ( look for ext rom stuff)
Hope this helps.
i've lost myself
can't find any info about this 2577 file!
heeeeeeeeeelp
You can use this.

RE: Extra Storage
Another method I used.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/Extra Storage unlocker
Copy the exe in the zip file to your Alpine, then tap to run on pda. It doesn't show a finished message.
I use 'resco explorer', with show hidden etc in the settings, I haven't tried to vew with only the standard file explorer, it may work as well.
Goto Windows on your pda and you should see a folder called 'shared' it should show 60.9mb free. If you do use Resco Explorer and hold your stylus on the shared folders and select properties, you can change all the attributes (Hidden, Archive, Read, Write and ROM), although I haven't needed to. :lol:

Hello
I'm be happy that a way seems to be real, but it do not work on my 2020I.
I select unlock Extrom, but the Extrom is no visible, so i select Unhide and it say to me to do soft reset. After it, i don't see any Extrom. Only way is to use original LoadVisk, but it is writeProtected.
Where i am in fault ?
Thank's
QTEK 2020I ROM 1.124 French
I used the Loadvisk on my XDAIIi and I can write to it etc (Shared folder in windows).
Use Resco file explorer to change the shared folder attributes. Make sure you configure Resco to show hidden files etc.
Heres the link

Loadvisk
Here is Loadvisk program I used on XDAIIi, it may help
Confused loadvisk does not access ext rom?????
I'm confused about loadvisk. I thought it unlocked the ext ROM, but no it only gives access to your RAM not to extended rom.
I tried the other tool on here unhide, unlocked, where do I access the rom in my file explorer?
so please ignore my previous posts about loadvisk.
How can I reverse loadvisk to hide the shared folder again?
sorry if this is a bit jumbled, I'm just finding out about this stuff myself
Thank's for reply
But it do not work.
If i use loadvdisk_493.exe, it show Extended_Rom as entry, that is the same result as LoadVdisk.exe that exist in Windows directory. I can't modify files inside Extended_Rom and it as this name, not Shared folder. It is not a folder but new media and with resco 5.22 i can't change attributes because it do not permit to media, only with files or folder.
Secondly, if i use Exttrom_200_250.exe, i can't write to in Extended_Rom.
Is this write for you ??

RE: EXT Memory
Hi,
Loadvisk has nothing to do with extended memory, it creates a virtual disk of your Program RAM (see 'Memory' on you PDA). This shows as a folder called 'shared' in Windows, when you copy files to this folder, the look at your memory, you will see that it stores in your program section of your memory and so I wouldn't bother with it.
I have had a good look around and I can find nothing to unlock the true extended memory, only the tool you used to unhide it.
You can flash your extended memory with the 2577 method, but this is not ideal for users who just wnat to access and write to ext memory.
Full details link below

There is another method to write to the extended rom but is far more involved than the method DAz mentioned. It does actually write to the Extended ROM so it therefore survives a hard reset and allows you customise the ROM with programs and remove stuff you don't use like the bloody annoying O2 active crap.
I've used it and can say that with a little patience it is fairly easy to do, although trial and error is required sometimes. Some programs don't seem to install from a hard reset however most do (Pocket Plus, Resco Explorer, TCPMP etc work fine).

For a lot of program's i don't need a desktop to setup my PDA. But some programs like .net from microsoft, oziexplorer, citrix, resco-fileexplorer can only be installed from a windows-PC.
is there a way to extract or keep-from-a-temporary-space the .cab file that must be somewhere during the install.
wouldn't it be nice to totally rebuild your system with one button after flashing/testing a new ROM or after a empty-battery situation on holiday.
Strangely enough, this is exactly what I do. I stick to cab downloads where possible (keeping them on the SD) but there are ways to extract the cabs from the installer where there isn't one available. Theres a couple of ways you can:
1. Sometimes the installler is built on a zip and you can just open the exe in winzip. If you have winzip shell extensions installed you get an "open in winzip" option on the right-click menu.
2. If that doesn't work, run up the installer and proceed the the part where it copies it to the phone. There are two places you can find the cab. The first is on your PC in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\. Sort by date to find the most recent file. The other place is on the phone itself...the installer actually copies the cab to the phone the installs it. I think you can find the cab in \Windows\AppMgr but it's been a while and that may be wrong.
some apps will put their cab on m$ activesync dir.
have u try sprite backup to backup ur system including storage.
Guy's,
thanks for your info. Got it complete in cab files on my storagecard now. Some i found in programfiles/activesync on the desktop. Sometimes it wasn't clear which cab file to use, so i started the install from the desktop. Then on the PDA when the question comes about where to install, then i started fileexplorer to see where the temporary cab file is. They all where in windows/appmgr/install.
thx,

hello
i need to add a username into the registies for a number of devices i'm flashing. Unfortunatly the usernames all need to be different i.e. PDA001, PDA002 and so on...
I've created a number of different cab files each for a different device that will add the username in.
So is it possible to run the cab file off the storage card as part of the hard reset process. i've updated the SD card with the file Username.cab which is the name of all the cab file, then added "CAB: \Storage Card\Extended_ROM\Username.cab" in to config.txt which is in the Extended ROM. i tested it but it didn't work.
Has anyone got any ideas
Or may be have a shortcut to the cab file added into start up. Would that work?
I'd suggest that you instead edit an existing (or relatively insignificant) CAB file (that you'd probably have no use for anyway) with the registry entries/additions so that its guaranteed to be included when you do the Extended ROM customization.
Did you ensure that you copied all the files from an original extended ROM correctly (before making your modifications)?
The thing is I have around 250+ device which need flashing with the same image and as all the devices will require a different Username adding into the registies I 'll need to run an external cab file, a cab file which will be different for all the devices and it's best to run it from the SD card.
I tried to adding a cab file into the Extended ROM which will install a shortcut into the startup folder the shortcut is to the cab file on the storage card. But for some reason it didn't run.
I have a couple of SD cards with an image of my Extended rom on so if anything goes wrong i have the backups.
Whats wrong with having the 'end-user' maually execute the .CAB file?
Why don't you simply customise one PDA (the way you wan't with your preconfigured settings) (minus the user/device name), then do an entire backup using SPB BACKUP (onto a SD Card). You can then restore this image on all 250+ devices (sounds time-consuming,but it really isn't).
All the end user had to do, is to manually execute your .CAB file when they are issued the units.
This is your true answer (in my opinion):

RE: Whats wrong with having the 'end-user' maually execute the .CAB file?
Basically the devices are used by Market research interviewers who work for us, most of whom are not familier with the devices and are not computer litterate. I'm responsible for a small support team and also the development of the devices. The software we use is already extremley simple and all they need to do is click a buttom "Connect" if the username is not already inserted they get a box "Logon Failed, please check the following details are correct." and a username and password box is displayed and they simply need to type in the id number from the sticker on the back of the pda (like PDA001).
We have just had a large project in feild and over the period we have around 200+ user. Around 50% of the call we took, at some point they had problems entering the username. As much as SPB backup would be of use, if they can't already do a simply thing like type in PDA123, asking them to do this seem like asking alot and would probabily cause more issues.
We already have all the other information in the registries for this application and the username is the only thing which isn't consistant through out.
Do you know if it would be possible to prompt them to run the cab from the sd card which enters the username into the registires on startup?

Sure it is possible. Did you already try placing a shortcut to the .CAB in "Windows\StartUp" ?. Likewise, you can easily create another script that deletes that shortcut (to ensure that its only used once).
Please keep us posted, on your developments.

Yeah, it didn't do anything. I had a cab file in the extended ROM which placed the shortcut in the dir. \Windows\startup\. For some reason nothing happened, but when I navigate to the .cab file it ran without any problems.
When you say create another scipt, how would I go about doing that? If i had an .exe it could act as a link to the cab on the SD card. i'm not familier with this kind of method. But I think that would solve the problem.
The location of the .cab is: \Storage Card\Help\UserName.cab
Thanks for the exact location. I'm just compiling something for you in visio Studio 2005, that will execute the .CAB file when run at automatically from startup (it'll do this only once).
Hi,
I am looking for a utility to merge multiple small ( free ) utilities into a single .cab file to automate the installation; just to ease the installation process after the hard reset or ROM upgrade.
Though i tried Win CE Cab Manager but unable to achieve that functionality - its look like to me that i am missing something somewhere.
Regards.
I'd like to know this too...

Thanks mic for the link... But according to that software ... one have to place all the required cab files in a specially designated directory and software start installing the files from there one by one...
But; what i am looking is a software that creat a single .cab file which includes all the required ( individual ) cab files along with the parameters e.g. installation location ( Device or Storage Card )....
sashami is the best solution which was actually inspired by a script called autorun back in the days of win mo but only way to do a auto install of cabs or all one one would be to attempt and cook into you're own rom or see if it's possible to cook all cabs into 1
Maybe extract all cabs with ini or XML file. Merge ini or XML place all extracted components in same folder and use cab building program to build cab from ini/xml...
Maybe.
This is the best thing I have found........not really an app per se.
What is UC? It is a feature contained in UC capable ROMs. A UC capable ROM extends initial customization to your SD card so you can load cabs and install XML files that are located there too. What this means is that once you get your customization scripts right, you can flash any UC capable ROM and all your apps and settings will be restored as part of the initial customization process whenever your SD card is inserted in the slot.

I have been using Slueth's ROM and this UC method for quite a while now and it works fantastically. Takes a little effort but anything worth it's oats will take atleast a little effort.

I just come a across while searching, here is another solution:
http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/
this should not be a advertisement, because it is not freeware, but a suggestion.
you can add cabs and the program builds an desktop or device installer and merges the cabs (and other files). the device installer is a exe not a cab....
if you look deeper in the internet you find a full time solution...
hope it helps...

i flash phones like everyday. using that method is for doing a couple of cabs. if you are trying to do like 100 cab files it will take a loooooooooooong time.
wince cab manager
if you just want to make one cab i would use Wince Cab Manager (OCP Software) (google it) to extract all the neccesary information from all the cab files.
then re-import all the information (links, registry, files etc) into a brand new Cab File.
so long as you keep all the extracted cab files separated this should be easy enough, but time taking.
Hope that helps. =D

Hi..i've already search for a topic regarding to this, and most of the findings only talks about how to edit it or combine it and such that it will be installed automatically.However, my main question is that how would i make/create a cab file for applications which had been installed into the phone?as there are some application which i had updated it through the phone and it will take some time if i intended to install it back in case i've formatted my phone. So any help would be appreciated and if there's somewhere it had been discussed before please show me the way..thank you
Anyone? Need some help here. Thank you.
It's not completely impossible, but very impractical.
To "cab" (to make it a verb) something, you'd need to know every single file the program uses (sometimes, applications install dll's into the windows folder) and every registry key as well. You'd have to gather all these files and then create a new cab and import them to the proper paths.
I believe SKTools has an option to view what files a program uses.
It's next to impossible for applications that are installed through an installation DLL in the cab - it's hard to track what exactly changes when you install these apps.
Best way to do it though - find the original cab. You could try to combine cabs, but it'd get messy, best use an automatic cab installer then.
Thank you
Thank you for the reply. From ur opinion it is indeed difficult to find the changes made especially with the updates involved. Thank again.
Well it is really simple, just have to know if it has any keys in the registry, what dependencies it has like any dll or other things and then you use visual studio and make a smart device cab ant put in there the files in the folders needed, the shortcut and the key registry you compile the cab and in less then a minute you have a cab
