I've found, that WM5 supports compressed CABs.
Use CabWiz to make compressed CAB.
Edit file cabwiz.ddf (in the same directory, where cabwiz.exe exists)
modify line ".Set Compress=OFF" to ".Set Compress=ON"
Warning1:
Don't delete original [uncompressed] CABs. Maybe - you will need them in the future.
Warning2:
Compressed CABs are not compatible with WM2003
Warning3:
Don't edit nor don't save them with WinCE CAB Manager from ocpSoftware [up to version 1.1.0.4]. Everything looks OK, but [after save] all files within the CAB are corrupted.
Probably the reason is, that compression aplies only to files, not CAB as a whole. File structure is the same and CAB Manager properly reads all info, but is not able to decompress files.
-----------
If you have only cab and need to compress it:
Open CAB with WinCE CAB Manager
Select from menu: File / Export / ExportToINF
start command line
switch to the directory with INF file
execute "[path]cabwiz xxx.INF /err cabwiz.err /cpu arm" (replace [path]cabwiz with full path do cabwiz.exe, replace xxx.INF with INF file name)
-----------
I you have EXE installer only:
start PC installation
cancel Pocket PC installation
look at subdirectories of C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync - probably you will find (uncompressed) CABs here.
FWIW, the next version of WinCE CAB Manager will include support for compressed CAB files as well. In fact, this is already available in the WinCE CAB Manager 1.2 BETA. See also:
WinCE CAB Manager 1.2 BETA Available To Registered Customers
Do you know how can I put my name and my registration code into my package ( for kitchen) or how can I put them into the cab file so I dont need to type the code everything I do the hardreset. THX
If your software keep the reg info in the registry, just add this key to your package's rgu; if on the other hand the info is in a file, just add the file and don't forget to add the file into initflashfiles

I have a question
I have the game "Worms" on my device. To specify it's on my storage card.
Today I made a hard reset.
Now I want to make a link to the .exe from Worms. Cause now I hae to go through file-explorer and I want it like it was before the hard reset. There was a link in my games folder before the hard reset under programs...
How can I do this again ?
resco file explorer is your friend
Sorry, but I don't unsterstand this....
It is being suggested you download and install Resco Explorer a pay-for app that does have a free trial. Resco allows you to Click/Hold an .exe file and Send To a StartMenu shortcut which are trying to do.
You can do it the hard way with Notepad but it is a pain.
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/
Total Commander, I think will do it too, but I own Resco and am familiar with it. It is FREE.
Hi
If you use Resco File explorer you can create shortcut to any exe file.it wil be placed to your start menu.but you can do it manualy too.without useing Resco FE.
1. Open Notepad
2. Place the entire path to the file in the first line of the file, including the .exe file. You must use quotation marks if it resides in a directory with spaces, such as “\Program Files.”
3. Count the number of characters in the command line, including spaces and quotes, to get the length of the string.
4. In the .lnk file, the format for the line is
<length of string>#<command line>
5. Save the file and copy it to the "\Windows\Start Menu" directory on the Windows CE or Pocket PC device. This places the shortcut at the top level of the Start Menu.
You don't need a 3rd-party explorer or notepad. Creating shortcuts is very simple using the built-in file explorer.
Step 1: Start file explorer.
Step 2: Navigate to the folder the EXE is in.
Step 3: Highlight the EXE.
Step 4: Copy the EXE to the clipboard (Menu | Edit | Copy).
Step 5: Navigate to the start menu folder you want the shortcut in (typically \Windows\Start Menu\Programs).
Step 6: Paste a shortcut to the EXE (Menu | Edit | Paste Shortcut).
Step 7: Rename the shortcut if desired.
The shortcut will now be in start menu programs. You can now move it to and from the top-level start menu using Start | Settings | Menus.

First of all thanks to everyone for posting...
But I have one question....what do you mean with "highlight the EXE?"
I hope you can help me ^^

When you navigate to a folder in File Explorer, the first file in the folder is highlighted (selected). Highlight the the executable file to which you need a start menu shortcut, either using d-pad down, or tap-n-hold with the stylus. This will be the file copied to the clipboard in step #4.
Note: I use the term "highlight" rather than "select" because selecting the file implies tapping on it, which will open the application. You don't want to start the application.

so do i download the files and extract them with 7zip to c:\windows\apktool\?
not sure if you need 7zip. think you can just extract it to rood of C: drive.. the link i put on last post is where i got those directions from... just try it, if it dont work than i will look more into it for you
windows cant do anything with the tar.bz2 files so you need a third party program. i tried extracting with 7zip and winrar but it gives back an error so it doesnt extract.
I think your answer lies here

Excellent work - it seems to be working great so far!
Since I'm a stickler for ES File Explorer and all its many capabilities, I'm wondering if there's a way to use 7Archiver in conjunction with ES for opening archives like .tar files that ES can't handle. I've tried the [long press on .tar in ES] > Open as > Other > [check "Set as default app"] > 7Archiver approach, which works if you go through that process each time, but it doesn't actually set the default app to open .tars to 7Archiver.
Any assistance?

I do not know the solution this problem. This is a problem of older versions of the ES explorer. I wrote to them about this issue. In the current version (for the android 4+) it works fine.
