noob question...

I have an AT&T Tilt. I am a long time BBerry user who never once tweaked a device.
I would like to install several things including the HTC home and at some point TouchFlo.
Let's use my challenge with the HTC home files. Regardless of whether I use the 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 files I get the same result.
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and.....
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing.
Am I literally this stupid?

Hi,
I copy the cab files to a folder. Browse to the folder using file explorer, click on the setup file and..... I assume you copied the cab files to your device?
it opens up in Internet Explorer, seems to hang for several minutes and then...nothing. I dont quite get what you mean by it opens up in Internet Explorer? Did you click on the cab file? It is not suppose to open up in IE. Please be more specific..
Cheers

Here's what I have
The folder for the HTC Home Screen has a file called _setup.xml and around 100 files.
I click on the _setup.xml file and it opens in IE. Nothing happens. There is no .cab file in the folder.

You unpacked the CAB file somehow (likely on your PC before transfering). Don't do that. Move the CAB file to your phone, not its contents. When you open a CAB file, it looks to the XML file for installation instructions. If you open the XML file, it thinks you want to read it, so it opens PIE.
So don't unpack CABs.

Reg Editor

Anybody know where i can download a reg editor? and should i download it onto the phone or onto my pc?

Well you can use resco regedit, comes with resco explorer.
Total commander works, but i doubt u know how to use it.
Theres also PHM regedit. Youd be suprise on how many you
can find on google. Here, ill help

If it ends in .cab that goes on your phone, if you are unsure what filetype it is, unzip it, if you see a bunch of files in there than u just unzipped a cab file which is a no-no. So toss the cab file into ur storage card and use _insert file explorer here_ than double click it.

Yes, since it's a ROM-File you need an more "advanced" file manager like Resco Explorer or Total Commander to achieve that.

or you can sync your phone, copy the file from the phone to the pc, then edit it on the pc and copy it back.

.EXE files

how do i make .EXE files appear on the PROGRAMS folder on my diamond - do i always have to go to file explorer to open .exe file
help please

bump
anybody please

Creating a shortcut to the exe in the start menu might be enough, but I haven't tried it. Doing that will definitely work to show it in Start/Programs, but I don't know if it will show up in TF3D programs unless it's actually installed with a cab.

Use a file manager such as Total Comander and place the .exe you want in:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Cant delete the file HTCAPI.DLL from Windows folder

Hey guys, my first post here
I just got a Diamond and i installed this pack to make graphics run smoother.
The cab file installed this file HTCAPI.DLL in my Windows folder and it seems
to be the reason why the TF3D isn't working.
On the other thread this guy said he deleted that file (HTCAPI.DLL) and
everthing was working for him again.
I cant find a way to delete this file from Windows Dir. Total Commander cant
and file explorer cant.
Please help!
