according to the spb home page you have received an email with the registration key
so it should be simple and just depend on whether you dl it as *.exe or as *.cab
in case of *.exe it's on the PC and you should be able to rerun it and authenticate yourself using the mentioned registration key
similar with *.cab, secure the file on your sd card (keep a backup on PC as well if you like) before flashing a new rom and reinstall/register after installing sbp mobile shell
that's just an educated guess as I don't use the product, so in case you are unsure and nobody else answers I would advice on contacting their support team and/or doing some more detailed research yourself (e.g. start here)
Best, DK
at first i downloaded a trial version (i think it was a .cab file), and then registered it. but now i can't find that file on my sd card.
edit: no, i installed it using my pc (so with .exe file). i think that's the reason i can't find it
edit 2: found the answer. didn't notice what you wrote about .exe file. thanks

Is it possible to make an image of my Wizard (like you do on a PC) that I can put onto another Wizard?
you could use spb backup for all except the rom

Yes - but I want to move everything including OS to another Wizard that I bought for my wife.
well, flash your chosen - same rom. copy your spb backup file from yours to your wifes wiz and execute the restore file on hers.
you can try that or wait and see if anyone else has a different option.
another choice is spb clone, but i think that is very expensive ($299), and possibly the same thing but it may include the os - it doesn't say on the site
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
I have a stock ATT Tilt, with the stock ROM (6.0)
I am trying to install SPB Mobile Shell. I have never used the software before and downloaded the trial. Each time I try to install the CAB from my device, it is unsuccessful.
Any suggestions? (And yes, I have redownloaded the software and tried to install it a number of times)
Thanks

Never had this problem, are you using the right version?
I have downloaded it three times from spb's own site, both to my computer and directly to my device. (I don't have a windows machine, so I am downloading the CAB files). I even downloaded the EXE file and extracted the CAB from it.
Each time as I click on the CAB file (on my device), it says Installation was unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?
Mobile Shell
Have you made sure to check it's box in the "today" settings page to activate it on "today". Also remember to uncheck everything else on that page.
It's not installed...so there is nothing to check. Just trying to figure out how to install...

i'm having the same problem! i can't find any way to fix it either!
Go to Settings/Today/ Items and uncheck all items on your today screen. Load the SPB onto your SD Card, however when you click it and it then prompts you to the location installation, leave it on Device.

done that and still does not work
here you will be OK with this trial version...
http://rapidshare.com/files/177073963/SpbMobileShell2.arm.cab
Thank you so much. It finally installed....but
However, it is only v. 2.0.0. Anyone know where to get the latest version THAT WILL INSTALL?
You can download direct from SPB themselves, or a software provider like Handango lets you download the trial version.
I have seen the same issue with installations of this too. I found that the installation .cab file was too small and so (althought it 'appeared' to install) it failed. I got round the problem by downloading directly from the PC and then moving the cab to the SD card before installing from there.
This would not account for your failed PC installation but may be worth a go if you still find it an issue.
Regards
Tony
Hi,
I had the same problem last night, the CAB would not install from the SD card or Main Memory.
In the end i downloaded the EXE from SPB and installed via Windows Mobile Device Center (old ActiveSync ) and it was fine.

Hello...i am new in windows mobile, and my kid's cp running 6.1 in asus p320 asking me to help her to change it in a finger friendly phone, but problem was that everytime i install spb direct from the spb site, got an unsucccesful message at the end of the installation, were it took me so much time just to find out (not to mention it stuck from 43% installation indicator) its unsuccesful. tried to install it to the device itself but says not enough memory, so i used my storage card instead. Pls help and tell me exactly how to install it.
thanks and more power.
how exactly do you upgrade the .NET to 3.5. i downloaded it from the microsoft website and it said it wasnt a valid ppc file.
i used the search function (typed .NET and also tried .NET upgrade) i even tried google. anyway basically all i want this for is so i can use the diamond beer app aswell as any other app i might download or create that might need it.
thank you.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468535

NETCFSetupv35.msi (recommended google search)

All of you, many thanks for yours advises, and going to study first what is my Rom number and, if I update my Room from, say 1 to 3, do I still need the number 2? sorry my Rom, but, in Hungarian a Rom, is a gipsy, BTW....
I did not knew, a CAB file instead of an EXE file installer could make a difference.....then? a golden rule would be to use an .exe file instead of a cab file?
ok, going to try it and agin, thanks.....happy am I with the XPA forum....really

Try the trial of SPB 3.0.1, not 3.0. Google to find it. This resolves some issues.

perhaps your english is not fluent like mine, but, also, you are able to communicate with another language and, THAT, is the best...What is your native tongue? mine is french, then after a small english and then a very little hungarian...

I will, but, after reading all the helpful post, I just found out my Xperia was still runing on Customization version R15A with the variant generik_uk,
Now after having made the update, I see that I have now the R2AA010, perhaps, this is also why I have or had, who knows trouble.... Do I also must update the generik UK ?
Now, if I like to try WM 6.5 do I must update thru the forum, tho the R3AA? or not? here, I am lost, and yes true cooking is ok with me but Rom and UI are not for me...better some Rhum and Coke...heahh
Now I do wonder if it would be also better to reformat my microcard? because I almost install all softwares into it.....
I flashed my X1 to nX1i ROM (found here) and it's working very well so far.
