Is there a way I can turn a PPC setup.exe into a .cab file?
Is there any software out there for the WM6 that you can put a bunch of cab files in a folder and it will auto install them all…so I don’t have to do them one by one?
visual studio 2005 & 2008 have a cab maker tool included. It does not require the source files to be created with studio...
Copy
Setup applications that run on your desktop PC simply copy the appropriate cab file to your device. You can extract the cab from the exe. You can also run the exe on your computer, and during the install process the cab will be transfered to another folder on your computer before transferring to your PPC. It is usually in Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder*, but sometimes it varies. Search your PC for .cab files and you should be able to find it.
There are programs like TAutoInstall (or something like that), SDAutoRun, and maybe one or two others that will run a series of cab files at first boot. You can probably find some discussion of Tautoinstall on PPCGeeks (edit: or try here). Search for threads by Tiermann. It might do what you're looking for.
WinCE Cab Manager is a powerful cab creation tool as well. You might be able to package multiple cabs within a single cab using it. Not sure, never tried. Good luck.
I have been using the activesync method of getting the cab and it works great.

Copy
So if i dont have my phone hooked up, and i a run exe file, it will create a cab file and place it "Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder* " and then i just have to go to that folder and copy the cab file?

No, once you install the executable to your phone (using .exe) the first time, it will drop the cab in the "Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App folder*" for future use.
I used to use Tools-add/remove programs within activesync to reinstall these programs that were only .exe, but I learned recently that you could go into the folder above after first install and get the cabs that activesync extracts to accomplish this add/remove feature.

I'm running Window Mobile 6.1 and Vista64bit, i dont have a "Program Files/Microsoft Activesync/*App "
Probably different on Vista/WMDC.
Do a search on your computer for .cab files.

You should look into Sashimi... it's pretty cool you can just drop the cab files in a directory and it auto installs all of 'em... also has the ability to execute EXEs, REG files, Copy files to root of device, run MortScripts, and xml files too... all part of an automated process.. you click go after a hard reset and it is on its way!
Another nice thing I like about it vs the sdconfig autoinstallers is there is really no maintenance to scripts/etc once you update your software.. all you do is manage the files in a directory structure which is as easy as copy and paste of the cab/etc.

I have searched for the .cab and cant find anywhere that Windows Mobile Device Manger puts them
You can also try extracting the cabs directly from the exe. Use a program like WinRAR to open the exe. There will often be multiple cabs for various WM versions (ie 2003, WM5, WM6, etc), and they are usually not named very desciptively, so a little trial and error will probably be necessary.
WinRar seems to extract the exe's and give me the cabs....THANKS ALOT

Extracting the EXE's to get the cab's
Not all executables are self-extracting executables. This will only work with self-extracting executables.
If you can't extract your executable with Winrar, the only other option is to run it with your phone unplugged from Activesync, then find the cab on your PC. Again, with this method, not all executables work that way. I have found a couple that I simply COULD NOT produce a cab from.

I've generally found that I can do this with pretty much any setup executable, although I use 7-Zip instead of WinRAR (it's free and fantastic).
As for the Sashimi recommendation, I can't agree enough. The program is pure awesomeness.
Universal extractor i guess is the way to go. extracts all files (cabs) from any .exe or .msi or anything else
Universal Extractor 1.5
Universal Extractor 1.6 Beta (vista)
Please anyone can help me to find Java application for tattoo?
Java is located under the All Programs menu!
I think funny for android! Yes! one Java icon is there but jar files are not supported with that. (I am still trying to figure out in what format we could run java). But one thing you could do is converting jar files into apk check here. When I tried some jar cannot be converted successfully. And you also require to install 'Java J2ME Runner'.
All in this that Java app is seems to not involve at all..so, what is the purpose of this Java app??
Sorry for above statement.. Android is not funny yet! It says like this, android does not support JAR file instead .dex files and one can convert .class or .jar file using dx tools, or you have to convert .jar file to .apk using that web site,... blah blah blah.... But now I found out there is nothing to worry or consider all these. Just simply copy the .jar files on the sdcard and open All Programs>Java then press Menu>SD Card then you will see the list of .jar files. Just select to install it.
No Java app on my Tattoo.
I'm using a Vodafone UK ROM though (I got mine from UK unlocked).
I want to buy an HTC Tatoo in Australia. It says no JAVA.
Is there a way to get JAVA installed ?
mdusan
Yes you can use Esmertec_Jbed.apk and install java client. I'm using opera mini 5.2 and it's work perfect on my HTC Tattoo. Also you can install other java apps
Share pliz jbed.apk, who works at the tattoo ... We do not have root, so set jbed impossible.
Esmertec jbed for java
Here you have jbed file and install them on the phone and after that you can install java apps.
Yes, it should work fine, thank you!
Thank you it works perfect
Thanks a million. Works great.
No it doesn't works for me. When I sync the apk file and install it it says java cannot be install. What should I do?
i was wondering is there a way to get the super bluetooth hack running on the android it is a .jar file and i cannot seem to convert it with netmite jar 2 apk
or install the jar itself using ASTRO file manager. i also have tried looking for java JRE and installed packages have not found any for the android. j2me java runner does not work also. so is there some kind of emulator or any ways to run .jar files on the android h&c sensation? do you have to install a different rom and root it?
please i really want to install/run super bluetooth hack there has to be a way.
could some one help me out with this problem?
If you search you will find the "apk" appication for android but this is not working with v4.0.
Did you download the java j2me runner?
How can you edit your host file?

By rooting+text editor with root capability
Clarification: You need root to write to \system\etc (I think that's the location in Linux). AdFree (better) and AdAway (open source) are two free tools that will do it for you, replacing your HOSTS file with a ton of ad servers. Manual editing is the way to go if you just want a couple things rerouted, but ad blocking is the big(gest) draw of editing HOSTS, in my experience.
Or you can pull it via adb open it with a program like notepad ++(or normal notepad) ,edit it and push it back to the device
