Hi,
I have one desktop installer which install a desktop application and as well as a CAB file to attached windows mobile. This installer installs CAB file successfully on Windows XP but it shows Invalid CE setup file on windows 7. Can you please help me in this regards.
Its shows me once error 2303 also while installing. After 2 unsuccessfull attempt it was able to install desktop application but still showing Invalid CE Setup file.
I am creating .msi file in VS 2005. after getting msi file i m converting it in .exe by using a free utility (Chilkat) .
Installer project is in VS 2005 and XP SP3.
why convert to exe from msi ?
My client need an exe in place of msi. so i simply created msi file and converted it into an exe.
Steps for creating exe are :-
1) Create msi file
2) make zip file from msi
3) Convert zip into exe by using chilkat.

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.

Click on Windows Mobile Version, Latest version 0.71 -
http://corecodec.org/frs/?group_id=53&release_id=224#r224
Download tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe - http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/369/tcpmp.setup.0.71.exe
With your Wizard connected via USB/ActiveSync, run the .exe on your PC
The installer will install TCPMP on your Wizard.
Or, download tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip http://corecodec.org/frs/download.php/366/tcpmp.arm.cabs.0.71.zip , copy the file to somewhere on your Wizard using ActiveSync's "Browse" function (e.g. copy to you Documents on the Wizard). Then, using the Wizard's File Explorer, browse to the arm.cabs file on the Wizard & click on it to run it.
Which file do you need for Windows Mobile?
There are five files in each release.
tcpmp.setup.[version].exe - Desktop installer for PocketPC or HPC devices. It should be launched on the PC when the PDA is connected via ActiveSync.
tcpmp.smartphone.[version].exe - Desktop installer for Smartphone devices. It should be launched on the PC when the phone is connected via ActiveSync.
tcpmp.arm.cabs.[version].zip - Standalone .cab installer files if don't want to use a PC for installing. Check readme.txt for details in the archive.
tcpmp.mips.cabs.[version].zip - For older MIPS devices
tcpmp.sh3.cabs.[version].zip - For older SH3 devices

ok been downloading some utilities for windows mobile 6 like printboy to print from the kaiser to wifi.
All i get is "....... is not a valid pocketpc application"
Hmm
I specifically chose the trial version for pocket pc/ windows mobile.
Ive tried other progs and get the same message.
What gives?
are you trying to install exe or msi files directly on your phone? are you using a pc to install or are you using the filemanager on your phone. remember .cab files install from your filemanager on your phone. exe and msi files you have to install through a pc with activesync or with vista you need windows mobile device center
aha, ive been downloading on wifi directly on the kaiser and tryin to install.
So what i need is to make sure i download a cab file, if i want to install from phone directly?
yep cabs for phone, exe and msi for pc
hey guys im really sorry for creating this thread but I downloaded a .arm file to my comp and i synced to my tilt and my tilt wont open the file. how do i open a .arm file on my tilt? sorry for the n00b question. I searched google and no answer so i was hoping my fellow tilt brothers would help out a guy in the process of learning.
As far as I know .arm is not any format native to Windows Mobile / PPC applications.
Generally, when installing software on your device it will come in one of three forrmats:
1) .CAB file - This is like a specially designed zip file which you transfer to your device and run from your device. It contains all the information to install the files in the necessary locations, and generally also creates the proper shortcuts/icons.
2) .EXE file (PPC format) - This is an executable file for your PPC. It will only run on your PPC. If you try to run this from windows you will get an error (something like "not a valid win32 application"). This is what generally gets extracted from the .CAB file aboved and gets placed somewhere on your PPC.
3) .EXE file (Windows format) - This is a normal windows .EXE file and is generally a windows based installer for the program, much like a normal installation program for any Windows PC. When you run it, it often will place a .CAB file onto your device (or into the ActiveSync queue) to be installed. this type of EXE must be run from Windows XP/Vista itself and won't launch on the PPC directly.
If you are downloading a file different from the above from a vendor, they probably also provide instructions. I have not seen any program come in a format other than the above (unless they were also compressed with ZIP or RAR and needeed uncompressing first).
here is what the ext arm could mean
http://filext.com/file-extension/arm
but it could also be that you use some odd filemanager like file explore which dont show the right extentions and the file was called blabla.arm.cab
and explore is hiding the cab
use total commander
That does make sense. A lot of cabs for the arm architecture are called for example netcf.arm.cab. If you aren't using a good file explorer you are not gonna see the file extension. Do your note shoe note.pwi?
Are you sure it's .arm & not .amr? .amr is a media type file.
I find large file extension database here http://www.file-extensions.org
Hi,
I am trying to load a JAR file I created for a college project onto my Diamond.
I created it using Java / J2ME and the GUI was created with NetBeans 6.1. The app works fine on my PC, but for added bonus points with my tutors if I could get it workong on my Diamond it would be brilliant.
I copied the Jar over and it failed to install. I then found "JAD Maker" which creates a JAD file, but this also failed with
"errno=906 Invalid Descriptor"
I have googled this, but to no joy
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
DG.
Same problem installing gmail from m.google.com/mail.. help!!!
I'm having the same issue when I try to download or load a .jar or a .jad file into my diamond.
Also does Diamond have a java machine? Or do I have to download one into the system?
You should open Java(MIDP) manager and install local file in case the file on your Internal Storage.
The jar should be MIDP2 and CLDC 1.0 or 1.1
