.cab queries

Hi,
I need some assistance. I am currently cooking my extended rom. My Extended rom does not have enough space so, i am putting some of my MUST HAVE softwares in my storage so that it installs after a HARD RESET.
But, most .cab files will auto delete upon launch. Is there any way to make
it not delete ? Kindly assist.
Thanx a million

You can avoid the CAB files being deleted by making them read-only.

Well i mean that there is a Registry hack that will not delete .cab's on installation, but you would have to make a .cab with that registry setting and install it as the first thing after hardreset, although i dont think it will work since the registry is already loaded, and the new setting require a reboot to work.
Look in Wiki for registry hacks.
So why dont you just Write protect the .cab's that you want to hold on to

i have tried that but, dont work

All my "wanna hang on to" .cab's are write protected, and non of them get deleted upon installation.
Manuel installation that is.

ermm.. how do i go about it... i wanna auto install stuff like Pocket Informant , SPB Pocket Plus and my must have s/w upon hard reset
Thats why i need to coookkk

I have room enoughf in my ExtRom, so I have never auto installed from other than the ExtRom.
But I'm almost 100% sure that there was a topic on auto installing from \Storage (Card) sometime ago.
Maybee youll find some info in the Wiki

Wait a day or two, maybe someone who knows come along.

You can use a software name Cabinst wich let you install a cab without deleting it.
Easy.

Hi,
Easiest way is to make cab read only. Browse the storage card using PC via activesync. Right click on cab file. Go to properties and make it readonly.
You can also change the deafult beahvior of Instal by changing registry key.

in browsing my editor i stumbled upone these :
Code:
[\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
fAskDest=0
fAskOptions=0
fEnablCef=0
nDynamicDelete=2
Supported="PALM PC"
* fAskDest=1 gives you a popup when you install a CAB so you can install on Storage Card for example
* fAskOptions=1 asked before overwriting, haven't found out if/what other options
*fEnableCef : I haven't messed around with that
* nDynamicDelete=0 and the CAB file remains, =1 it disappears but what the difference with the default value 2 is I couldn't figure out.
So if anyone else wants to experiment with it and post their findings
I searched Google but all I could find was about fAskDest

keep the ext rom empty,
after reboot hack the reg to point to new area.
Run the autorun from threre.
Have all files as read only.
info under
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=83119#83119
Only problem is that all cabs are installed in the default location.
I have yet to get cabinstall to run in batch mode using the nscript tool.
Hope its what you are after

Does PHM Registry Editor work with WinMobile 6?

Hi all,
I've tried many times to load PHM Registry Editor on my Kaiser with Windows Mobile 6 without success.
Does PHM Registry Editor work with Windows Mobile 6? If not, is there another one that may work?
Thanks,
Phil

Works for me
My installation worked.

mine too.. it is actually one of the few that did work, and pretty good.

It does work, give us some more details and let's see if we can help.
How far do you get?
Is it a Cab or Exe?
Do you get any error messages?
etc
Alternative - perhaps Total Commander using the //plugins directory.

Hi,
Okay, that's good news to me, it will work, and it's just me
Here's the details; When I goto http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
to download, I've downloaded the ActiveSync (twice) and the CD Redistribution links and tried installing from within the phone and off my laptop via USB and each time I gotten an error on the phone saying the file is not recognizable. What am I doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Phil

Ok. From this site:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Choose this one from the list:
Pocketpc 2002 2003 arm/pxa
Move the unopened cab file to device with AS explorer function.
Tap it to install. (I have mine installed to SD card)
Mike

I have a really good reg editor here if you need it.
(Got it from.... a tool pack)
Since the upload doesn't allow this type of file... i had to zip it
anyway put it on the device of your htc phone and run it from there.
Note: its not an install, its an actual application
Another good reg editor is resco, and total commander.
(total commander's registry is in the root //)

Hi,
Wow, thanks. That worked without a hitch and I opened it up successfully on the phone. Thank you Mike, great help and right to the point. What did I miss? How would I have known that the 'PocketPC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)' was the file I needed for a HTC TyTNN II with Windows Mobile 6?
No to look at some of those useful edits, after a complete registry back up of course.
Cheers,
Phil

Just for general info on downloading file types:
Many sites offer a choice of different application file types to download I always go for the CAB file rather than the EXE file. The CAB file you install by putting it on the SD Card and tapping it. The advantage is that if you ever need to re-install you do not need your PC, just tap on the CAB again to install it.
For this and most devices nowadays you should choose:
ARM files
POCKETPC or PPC files (not smartphone)
WM5 or WM6 may also be stated. Most WM5 apps will work on WM6 and many WM 2003 apps will also work.
Nearly always if it's an EXE download then this is meant to be opened on the PC with the device connected by AS or Device Centre. Very occassionally you will come across an EXE that has to be put on the device and then run. (these rare files usually have a statement telling you to do this).

Thanks Mike, great info and very useful.
Cheers,
Phil

Wifi not working on any HTC Comm Manager!

I have tested a few HTC Comm Managers(new black theme. Kaiser style) and low and behold non of them have the wifi working right. I cannot enable/disable it from the comm manager. Anybody find a real working one that does this? Even some that were claimed to be "FIXED" didn't work...
Anyone have a dump of the original also? (stock WM6)

I've got the same problem since the upgrade to WM6. Nothing works: soft-hard reset, upgrade... WLAN doesn't works (since comm manager).

me too...any solution mods?

Same problem here... The default WM6 HTC comm manager is working corectly.

anyone have a cab file of the original? incase i want to revert back to it?

You might find the fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655&highlight=wing+10+button

What's wrong with it?
I'd tried to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=48832&d=1188607222
And then, the following message: "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system p ermissions"
...
When I try to do the change in registry, a new surprise: in the registry tree, after CommManager doesn't exist "WLAN", but numbers (0,1,2,3... and in 3 there's WLAN). The change in registry: NOT WORK YET!

I've found the problem (maybe...). In folder "Connections" there's not Wi-Fi icon... what it means?

SAME THING HERE! No permission to do this! I hope this does not result in a hard reset.

OK, I finally got anew one installed. Even though I tried a fresh install after a reboot, I still couldnt get it installed. So, what I did was start commmanager, Bthen stop it in Settings > Memory > Active programs

REALLY A GENIE!!! I'll try it...

It's Ok! Now, I could installed the comm manager, but it doesn't work... What I must fix exactly?
This is exactly what I did:
- Step 1: Copy to the phone and run it.
- Step 2: (Fixing WLAN button malfunction, somehow it doesn’t work by default on Wing): **Thanks for beowulf6’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN= "Windows WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} TNETW12345"
the end of this long String is the WLAN-Adaptername of the Device.
just change in this Example "TNETW12345" into "TNETWLN1"
-Step 3: (Fixing Wi-Fi setting launch issue) **Thanks for phatman81’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\ Default:"
\Windows\WlanMgr.exe --> \Windows\ctlpnl.exe
After all this... The WLAN icon is always off...
Nobody else has the same problem? It's incredible!! I begin to think that I've done something wrong. It has began after the upgrade to WM6... Now, I can't downgrade to WM5 because I don't have the rom WM5 original... :'(

That CommManager dosen't seem to work well. I had problems with it. I found another one that DID work though.

hi, can you please point me to where you downloaded this??

hello
i have the same problem. wifi card not run.
the problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
i d´nt know.
anyone a idea? thanks

Do a search. You will find that you have to edit the settings in the registry for the comm manager.

I have this same problem. If anybody has a cab file of the stock tmo com manager, please post it!
Thanks in advance!

You guys...
Go into the registry and find out what the name is for the wireless adapter is. Take that information and change the adapter that is shown in the comm manager.
Thats really all there is to it.
If youre going to screw with the software, youre going to need to blood on your hands. You cant just throw stuff on the phones and expect it to work.

All right...
On my wing
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\<DeviceName>
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETTWLN1
That is the adapter for my phone, might be the same for you.
If youre using the changable comm manager you will have to change the settings for the wlan setup.
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\<Default>
\Windows\WrlsMgr.exe
Once again might be different for you.
Im using TouchIT 2.3 my stuff might be different.

I GOT IT

installation of *.cab was unsuccessful

Hi all,
I am facing a weired problem,
I have installed an application, it was installed very well, with no problems at all.
But when i flashed it with a new ROM, i have tried to installed that application again, i keep getting:
Installation of 1 ACERT_ARB.CAB was unsuccessful
shortly the whole package doesn't get installed at all.
I went through the program files, deleted any old stuff, tried to reinstall, but the same problem
i have put the old ROM back, but still no luck
am i missing something here? any advises please?
regards

i get that issue every now and again. I usually have to either use a different file explorer or do a soft reset and try again.

Thanks for sharing
i have found the solution finally
the current ROM doesn't support the CAB file i was installing,
i needed to do the following:
remove the SD card
reinstall the compatible ROM which support the CAB file
i hoop it it heps other they may had the same issue

reinstalled rom...
still problem continue
has a other solution?

I recently had this problem when trying to install a couple of CAB files. It appears that something was running that the CAB was trying to update. So, for example, I was trying to install "Inbox Extender" and POutlook (and/or tmail?) was running. Once I killed that, I could install the CAB.

CAB won't install suggestion
I saw this with several cabs that I ran using Resco Explorer and I had Kaiser Tweaks set to not delete the cab after install. The solution was to deselect that setting in Kaiser Tweak, ket a fresh (never run) copy of the cab file and run it using the generic file explorer. It has worked every time since then.

Acert_Arb.cab is no more working

Cant Sync after soft/hard reset

Hi everyone,
im using shekar's wm6.1 rom. I have copied the serialusbfn.dll to /windows, and disabled advanced network functionality. Async worked, but after doing a hard/soft reset, it won't sync anymore.
Any idea on this?
Many thanks!
Gerard

A Hardrest clears all data from your device...you have to re-copy the dll again

Hi Ather,
I tried doing that too. However, it would not allow me to copy the same file again.
Thanks a lot!
Gerard

can u send me the dll file..i will make it as a CAB file for u

Hi Ather,
I'll send you the CAB file. May I know your email address?
Thanks,
Gerard

Hi ather, I already sent an email. again, thanks!

Softreset disables sync
After a softreset it is normal that active sync dosn´t work with disabled advanced network funktionality on my himas with German ROM.
No prob, just enable, OK, then disable/OK again, and then connect to desktop.
Works fine.
After Hardreset I had the same problem with inserting/renaming the .dll file but the hint to do this at first worked at last.
