Windows add/remove and Start - sigh - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Am I the only one that is annoyed that the programs I install on my Advantage feel the need to also clutter up my Start menu programs folder on my windows machine as well?
I installed the program on my device, I don't want any footprint of it on my desktop. Yet I find entries in my desktop start menu as well as the add/remove programs.
Any way to avoid this or just live with the fact I have to make sure to clean this out right after I install something new on my Advantage?

I try to use CAB files as long they are available. The problem is not all programs have that. Examples of this include microsoft voice commander. I wonder if there is an easy way to extract the cab out of all window install program. Anyone knows?

I have found success with some in checking the Temp directory of the PC when starting the install - the installation often extracts the cab to a new sub-dir there. An alternative is to try to install when the PPC is not connected - often a cab file is dumped to a sub-dir of C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync

This is great tips. I'll surely take a look at C:\program files\microsoft ActivSycn from now on. Is that only for XP? What about VISTA?

I found it in Vista. Most of the time, it is located at windows\windowsmobile\ directory.
You will find a directory name created by the PC installer. Go inside that, you will find the cab file.
In some cases, it does not go there. For example, microsoft voice command goes to Program files\Microsoft Voice Command\windows mobile pocket pc\us1.60 for M2M\
So, it is there alright, just got to find it.
Once found, copy it to your pocket pc manually. Next time you need to hard reset, you can do without PC all together. Also, now you can uninstall from the PC and keep your pc clean.

Execute app on PC from PocketPC

Does anyone know of a piece of software available that allows you to start a specified application on a PC from a PocketPC over Wireless/Activesync ?
Something like this http://www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/remoteprocess/BeyondExec.htm but for the PPC....
Thanks
therminal services and winvnc let you take over the computer display from your ppc
Thanks Rudegear, I've taken a look at things like that but I only want to execute an app not have to do it via taking over the computer if you see what I mean.
Eg: I want to have a single file I can run (a bit like a batch file) to just send the command to the PC which will then execute the desired program.
Cheers

Activesync folder in Vista

Anyone know where to find the Activesync folder in vista? I can only find the friggin link in start menu.
Used to be when I installed a proggy's .exe through activesync it would drop the cab file in the Program Files/Microsoft Activesync folder and I could use that to reinstall next time I flash.
This is for Total commander 2.51 btw.
Thanks!
Nevermind, found it.... duh
C:/Windows/Windows Mobile/NAME OF APPLICATION/APPLICATION NAME.cab
I really hate search function in Vista, I found this cab by turning off index (permanently) and using Agent Ransack which will be used from now on.

Install .exe file Without PC

Hi All Genius Developpers!
As You Already Know, there are said to be Two Types( Exactly Speaking, 3 kind) of .exe files that One could directly be run on Windows Mobile Device and the Other ought to be installed through USB or ActiveSync by PC Manually, this latter type are common and almost of them.
But It's Really awkward and troublesome to connect with PC Every Time, whether with wire or wireless, isn't it!!!???
Then,Why Not Possible to Install .exe file normally installed through PC WITHOUT PC!?
The Genius Developpers HERE Who Marerialized The Method which Enables ROM Flashing Without PC that Had been thought to be IMPOSSIBLE thus far, Could Find Out The Way Installing .exe File Without PC, couldn't They!!!???
Or Veteran Developpers Here Already Know How to Do That and Doing Normally?
Tell me The Reality is!
Isn't There Any Way!?
Course it is posible, beacuse this exe files copy on PPC a cab file.
Only problem is - where the PC have "temp" for this instalation.
If you find it, you will find a cab files to install this programs/games on your PPC.
At least I think so, because once I did so.

[Q] I bought my phone yesterday...

My current programinformation
operativsystemversion: 5.2.21869.
Manilaversion: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.66.413.2 (76641) SVE
IS the above old versions or new?
I have dowloaded some apps and other things for my HTC HD2.
Htc Flashlight, artemis, htc hd2 tweaks and apps, and more.
How do I install these apps and tweaks?
Where do I put them on the phone, in which folder?
How do I install them?
Do I have to update ROM or something else?
I have activesync on both my phone and pc.
I have no idea how to do, and the Q&A doesnt help. I know pretty much about windows pc use, but im a totally newb when it comes to mobilephones, I dont even know what manila, or ROM is :O
If they are cab files (ie *.cab), just save them to the device in any folder and "click" on them to install. (c0-y the files via USB or via microSD card)
You will be prompt to install either on device or microSD.
Cheers.

Welcome Silver. Cookies home tab & Cookies home tab editor are the apps you should start with. They will totally revolutionise the way your phone looks and works! Before you download them to the phone, you have to install NET3.5 framework. Download these three apps to your computer, then connect your phone via the usb it came with and select disc drive option and press done on the phone. Copy & paste or drag/drop these files into the program files folder on the new disc drive icon in your my computer window. Click the safely remove icon on the task bar and disconnect your phone from the pc. Now click the window icon on the phone, and scroll to the file explorer icon and press it. Click on NET3.5 and install it to the device when prompted. Do the same with CHT & Editor and be prepared to say WOW!!! Post here if you have any problems.

this is the name of the file: dotNetFx35setup. is it the right one?

Sir, you don't need to run/install Net Framework from your device, but you must run it from your PC via Active Sync.
I cant run the installation file _setup in the NET3.5 folder?

Thanks for the info Kurt. I wasn't even aware of the fact I didn't need to install NET3.5 on my phone? It's on there anyway, and I'm having no problems whatsoever. I'll be sure to include that info in any further advice I give.

Well you go on the website I give up earlier, or do a research on Google fore Net Framework. you download it to your computer, and you connect your device with USB to your PC. you will see the window of ActiveSync on your screen (your pc trays to connect to your mobile device)
run the Net Framework application (.exe) from your PC. follow the steps, that's it.

Did you manage to get the NETCF3.5.CAB on your phone? I've done some digging, and you CAN install it on your phone. Connect the phone via usb and select the disk drive option from the phone screen and press done. Then go to my computer and click on the removable drive icon. Double click on program files icon and copy the NETCF3.5.CAB into this folder. Disconnect the phone from the computer, and press the windows icon on your phone. Scroll to file explorer icon and press it. Go to the top of the page and select the storage card. Press program files and find the net cab. Press it and follow the instillation process and it should install.

I don't see the different between this two?
Just run on PC through Activesync, not in activesync

Activesync is for XP only, mobile devie center is the "ActiveSync" for Vista and Windows 7.
Functionality is equal (although perhaps when UAC active, one needs admin rights for full functionality - just guiessing about that though-)
You cannot run from activesync/mobile device center.
steps to follow:
1) Connect your phone to your computer
2) make sure you have partnership (even guest partnership is ok) betwwen phone and PC
3) Download the MS .net Framework from here and save it on your computer (eg in c:\tmp)
4) Run the downloaded package on your PC.
5) After running on PC, follow steps on your phone (if any)
It does not get any simpler...

Thanks for that Wilco. I installed the NETCF on my device, but I've not had any issues as yet? Mental note made for future/current advice. P.S. Sorry for doubting you Kurt.

Hi ZeeShh,
In german Windows Phone 7 Forum this question was answered with a "No". But they show up 2 ways:
1. SharePoint, but it's not for free
or
2. Mail your excel/word files to your WindowsLive-account, download them, save them and so you have them on your phone.
Both ways are quite horrible, but in this first version of OS the only ways.

Hi there,
You could also use HomePipe. It's basically a folder sharing utility that allows sharing over the internet. The application is available for Windows Phone in the marketplace
You basically install it on your PC and set up folders to share, then use your device to browse these folders and the files you click are downloaded via the Internet.
However, this program requires a free registration!
An alternative could be to just set up a simple web server and put data to download to your phone there.
I tried and found that emailing the file and then saving the attachements on your Mozart is easiest and safest way. thanks guys and let's wait if miscrosoft comes up with any idea.
