.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

only partial uninstall.... :-(

hi. I have the following "issue". I can not remove from the list of WM some applications. I explain. I uninstalled Alen-software Quick Menu .... I removed the remaining directories ..... I looked in the register and I erased every item left by the software....
SKtools doesn't show the application as present (files to uninstall)...
but if I go on WM settings-system-uninstall applications the software seems installed....
if I click on "remove" it says that program is to be uninstalled , etc. continue?
at "yes" it says "removing Alen-Software quickmenu not complete. Remove from the list of applications installed?
If I click on " yes " it seems to complete the action, but even after soft reset everything remains as before ... the program is not installed ....no key is present in the registry....... but .....
any suggestion?
PS: the same with "Prodson Hologram" ... :-(
Thanx and sorry for my english

hi
im not familiar with this program - but have a look using file explorer and see if you have anything in your programs folder, if nothing there have a look in the windows/strttup folder

thanx for the answer. No, nothing in folder and windows startup

If the only issue is that the program still appears in the Installed Program List and you don't want it to be there(assuming it is uninstalled), you can try the following steps to remove the registry entry corresponding to that program name.
‘AppInstall’ holds the list of installed programs. The exact location of this registry key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall
Find if there is still an entry for the program under AppInstall, and delete.
Soft Reset and see if it works.

there's nothing in that key...... (regarding uninstalled programs)

Whose ROM are you using? I have has similar histories but with different devices.
Regards,
Carty..

ROM is 1.93. But I have found solution: in SK tools is present "Bad/Old Uninstall Info": launch it and resolve!

Hello.
Could you please give me detailed info on how you did this?
I have SK Tools v4.4.6. I changed the main settings from :
Tools --> Settings --> Automation --> Bad/Old Uninstall Info
to 'Use in Auto Mode'.
But when I perform a CleanUp, the invalid entry is not displayed, nor it does in the Uninstall List.
Is that what you did and made it work or something else?
Thanx!

HELP - FTtouchFlo ERROR

A few months ago, I installed the CUBE. I uninstalled it a while back. Ever since then when I do a hard/soft reset, when the phone comes back online I get the following error:
"The file 'FTtouchFlo' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Also, when I go to Start --> Programs...I have 3 SCLPF folders, each with Cube Settings Icon inside. There is a SCLPF settings folder as well. I can't delete them, can't find them in a search (on the phone or through active sync). The cube and TouchFlo are not in my "remove programs" settings either.
Can someone give me a clue? I want to get rid of these folders and the annoying pop up error i have been receiving upon start-up. Thanx in advance for your help!

I've got the same Problem, dosen't anyone know how we can delete this Problem?
At first Sorry for my bad english

you most likely have an entry in your startup folder for FTouchFlo:
Check here:
C:\Windows\Startup\

gx or gx.dll

I need help I've tried some many things to fix this problem and searched also, to no avail, And I'm hoping that someone here could help. My tilt has been running fine, but recently when i restart i get a gx.dll message saying
"there is no application associated with "gx", run the application first......"
Ans this is on start-up , i even went and all my itemes out of the start up folder in windows, to no avail.
Thanks

hard reset.

I've noticed this same file popup in my start menu here and there on my Tilt. I think it is created by a program file. Maybe one running out of the start menu folder directly, unlike a shortcut. Maybe a program file put in your startup folder? I just hypothesize.

smart resident.exe problem

Hello folks!
I got a problem with the smart resident.exe.
When my Xperia (running TouchIT v10.3) starts up I get the message that smart resident.exe couldnt be found and I should eventually reinstall it.
programms which require smart resident like slovo ed sadly dont work for me
how can I fix this?
The screen that pops up looks like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=158253&d=1234889244
only that its on my xperia
EDIT: can somebiody with touch x attach their smart resident file so that I can simply copy it over to my device and see if it works?!

Uninstall SlovoEd.
Go to "My Device/Windows/StartUp"
There you should find Smart Resident.lnk, delete that and it should be fine.
Well that worked for me.

I know that slovoEd hast this smart resident lnk file.
Its like you sayd in device\windows\startup and there its called Solovoed 7.lnk and this points out to:
device\windows\slovoed 7\smart resident.exe but this smart resident.exe isnt there!
I got the error message (from the attached image file) even before slovoed was installed

Reinstalling a SlovoEd dictionary (Talking Concise Oxford English Dictionary for Windows Mobile) solved this problem for me.

Hi
unfortunatly i have this problem and I couldn't delete this file.
pleas help me.
thanks
bye

Tx FlimFlam!
I installed my language version & it did the trick. BTW: I noticed that for whatever reason, SlovoEd had "uninstalled" (?) itself. Meaning: I had not used it in a while & it was not visible in the Menu structure any longer. Without having checked: probably most files were still there.

Hi
go to my device/windows/startup
and delet ( Slovoed )
I did it and my problem solved.
say if that worked or no .

Reviving an older thread here...
it seems like there has been no proper solution this far. there is a few things one can do. they have been posted up above already. unfortunately this thread does not clarify what actually happens there.
let me try to add some info/findings of my own.
SmartResident.exe appears to be a module which sits in the memory, resident. i was not able to figure out what it is meant to do there tho, since the english or german menu items in SlovoEd, the donor of that little nuisance, are so totally badly translated that i couldn't gather their meaning.
I suppose that it is meant to catch words one marks and translates them via right-click or so, similar to babylon's pretty neat function.
It does not succeed in doing so tho. Hence it is useless.
What might be the reason for the warning at boottime? The missing Resident? Well, there is at least two reasons: either u did a hard reset and it just got wiped or u installed a new ROM while u kept SlovoEd on the storage card. This would have wiped the resident as well since it is not located on the card but always on main mem. And of course it might well be that u just messed with ur files and accidentally deleted the resident...
So, how to get rid of it? Mainly read above. Summary below.
1.) u can try to "fix" up the SlovoEd.lnk or SmartResident.lnk file in the \\windows\AutoStart\ or alternatively \\windows\StartUp\ folders. Just open them with a text editor and put in some crap, point them to some useless executable file.
2.) run a script each shutdown time to delete the .lnk file. eg MortScript or so.
3.) Re-Run any SlovoEd Dictionary or Engine Installer. When using a Dictionary-Installer make sure to select engine-setup as well since this will place the Resident into \\windows\SlovoEd 7\ where it is supposed to sit. Note: this will NOT get rid of the resident but fix a corrupt installation and thus make the annoying warning at boottime disappear.
4. option 4 will be my pref. keep a backup of SmartResident.exe in the SlovoEd 7 folder on the card and just copy it back over to its original location in case it gets destroyed...
cheers,
Sneaky
