I have looked around but want to know if those .EXEs that I install leave a cab on my PC that I could copy out and keep in an archive instead of using the installer.
Thanks
This depends quite a bit on the program. Some of them put them in a folder outside of the Activesync folder. I believe Ilium software does this.
for programs like this it would be in C:\Program Files\Ilium Software
There are quite a few that do end up in the Activesync folder, and they would be located at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\........
Didn't think to look in Program Files/Microsoft Activesync. That was the ticket. Thanks, got the two I was looking for.
And what about vista,
Can anyone tell me where's the location for the cabs?? I cannot find like in xp...
For Windows Vista, I think as mentioned above, a lot of programs put them into their own folders in the Program Files folder however, I did a little digging and found some cabs in folders with their names inside of C:\Windows\WindowsMobile
Hope this helps.

That was a big help to me, and if I would've known prior to this, it would have made things a lot easier. Some programs I just can't seem to locate, either. I must be looking right past something. But did find some in the Windows directory. This is especially nice since I don't like to set up AS/WMDC every time I flash my phone.
take a look at reg path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps
you can find installed cab path in subkeys
That's a winner. The registry is the perfect answer.

Hi
I have a list of my favourite apps that I like to expand and delete from as new apps come out and old ones get replaced.
I have done a search and can find a nice amount of info on cooking a ROM based on an open ROM, such as Gullums. But I dont want to do that really. I'd like to keep my Apps seperate from my OS.
Is there a way of packaging a bunch of CAB files into just the one?
I've done something similar with EXE on my PC, so in theory its possible, oui? non?
cheers all.
Well I had a bit of a better dig around in my Lunchbreak.
I've found this program which creates an executable EXE for a PC desktop install for multiple CABS, easy to use too
http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/PocketSetupCreator.html
but I'd still rather have just one CAB file which I can install from my Prophet.
any other Ideas?
In the program
goto : "builder"
Now click on "add redistribution modules to include". You can select cab, SQL or .net files.
It will include those files to the cab how is created
cheers for the reply, but Im unsure what program you mean?, can you let me in on your riddle.
However...
PocketSetup Creator is very very basic.
I've found a better version which creates compressed PPC EXE files but its $60 to knock that one on the head, I dont need this that badly, for those who are interested its called.
pocketpc Installer
http://www.phelios.net/pocketpcinstaller.html
Any other ideas, Gullum how do you do this for your cooked roms, some of your releases had a 2nd install once the ROM had been updated, with a few roms coming down e.g. Gullum Custom CAB ect.
Sorry, I speak from http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/ less basic but 29€ (app; 36$US).
Very usefull app, so you can search for cabarc.exe (or enything how is approximtly that) for free and command line cab creator from M$
Since i'm not going to cook just yet for the Pro, nor am i helping out any specific crew Over At the Pro (SPC crew will come over to Pro someday anyway).
I have decided to make a OEMMORT Packages Repository.
For those that want to cook with the utmost optimized packages for their Pro.
OEM PACKS
To use these Optimized Packages to Cook (specifically with Touch Pro In Mind), you always need the the MortScript Base.
So if you use more or less packages the RFO.mscr & CLASC.mscr need to be adjusted appropriately to correspond with the correct File Operations.
Mort Script 4.112.b7
AdobePDF_2_5_103401_01
IA_ZIP_1_21_18171328_1
More coming eventually.
Explanations
If you do see the Logic and and improvements this adds to cooking control and performance enhancement, then don't forget to mention the SPC-MORT-COOKING Style, Wax in Wax Out
Any Comments, Opinions, Ideas or Questions welcome.
TNX to the rest of the bengalih for some pointers & SPC crew for testing and helping out.
And thanx of course to MORT.
Don't Know MortScript? Shame on you. (neither do i)

Hi Noonski... Very interesting concept.. Great Works! Cheerz..
would it be possible to put the cab files from UC all into 1 zip file to save space ?

ExactMundo.
If you'd make the cab files into OEM packages first.
I have a WNDWS.zip
PRGF.ZIP
and a MYDOCS.zip
But even that would not be needed as one zip file should be able to do it.
As long as the Makedir command is used in a Mortscript before the Zip is extracted for folders that do not exist unless you have the complete folder structure in the zip files.
Unless you mean the Cabs from the UC on your SD card.
But even then you could also only extract just a cab at a time.
So i'm not sure you meant the ROM Autorun Cabs or the SD UC cabs?
Also unzipping the files instead of having them in Rom, or making the links with a script removes that darned ROM Read File Protection.
yes yes yes that is what i mean exactly my friend
i mean both ... it would save space on the storagecard as well as remove this freaking writeprotect on the dirs. dir structure in the zip file would be the best option i think as it copies 1 on 1 without setting userrights.
this writeprotect option is set on a hidden part of the systemflashdrive. in the mft i think. strange thing is that i got acces to my windows folder through activesync and it doesnt work on vista mobile device center.. frankly i have no idea what i did but it seems something in the pc as it works on my xp machine and not on vista. i didnt change anything yet on the phone itself relating to this.
pocketcommander www.totalcommander.com is able to ignore or overwrite the writeprotected files in windows dir so there must be a sollution to this.
i dont have the proper tools to do all this stuff but it would be the fastest way to extract all files from all cabs one need into one zip file and let mortscript handle the unpacking and settings of the registry. this way theres no need for autorun cabs merely the UC SD installer. maybe someone can make an nice logo for the custom uc installer.

I think for that for the SD Autorun UC solutions there are already a few good solutions around some even supporting Mortscript.
And they all are pretty user friendly to.
Depending on what a user wants and knows, using mortscript being cooked in just gives them more freedom to play around customizing a cooked rom.
But it would need more hand work using your method, but it is possible of course.
It boils down to, do you like making Mortscripts to change registry settings or do you prefer making PROVXML files?
And not everyone is into decompiling cab files to make them fit their exact requirements.
But there's only one rule, Copy the Script to device memory and a folder name tat does not contain a space in it's path. And then run the script.
As the Exec: command from autorun doesn't like that.
But mostly the main way i use it is for the Cooked Autorun part.
I control when the Welcome wizard is run, Before Autorun or after the boot.
I can remove the extra parts of the Networkwizardauto.exe files and also run the networkwizard when i want during the process.
All i need to ad to my process is to open the Locale Preferences dialog during this process and then finish it of with Syncrotime. (or asking for the choice if you want threaded SMS on or not, the possibilities are plenty)
Put all the Setting up your device options after each other for those users that don't have the know how of how to use UC to setup their personal settings.
I even delete the back up files for the one App that i only get installed correctly through a cab file
DelTree( "\Windows\AppMgr\SRS Labs SRS WOW HD" )
So i hope that those that cook or customize and want even more control and detail into what happens can appreciate this.
I know i'll keep using this, and adjusting all my OEM packages to it. Because i have experienced the overall speed improvements in the Rom because of it.
I'm not a Pro in Mortscript and myself i only use the fairly simple commands.
i see.. thnx for explaning
it would be far simpeler using the xmlprov
unless one requires the extra functionality of mort script
the SRS wow HD is a driver enhancement so it needs the system to detach the driver which is only possible with the installer . hence cab files work good cause the're installed by the windowsinstaller which can temp disable the driver.
Instead of MortScript, there is a Yonsm's CeleCmd that perform roughly the same thing.
Check it out!

Explanations
What Does RFO.mscr do?
What Does CLASC.mscr do?
Which Packages Contain Modules and Why?
There's Files Missing from the Packages?
What Does RFO.mscr Do?
Well this script is copied to the regular Start up Folder in Windows.
I use short file names because as much as possible for anything that goes into Windows folder and have no other use being in the Windows folder then being copied by initflashfiles to another folder.
RFO.mscr basicly is the only file i use an initflasfiles.txt for (goes to \Windows\StartUp\ReplaceFileOperations.mscr)
Because after that it takes over the File Operations of the Default build in initflashfiles method.
Why?
Well You don't need actual shortcut files present in ROM to make them.
Code:
CreateShortcut("\Windows\StartUpDisabled\btdwake.lnk","\Windows\btdwake.exe")
in the RFO i don't put that much actual File Operations.
Only the ones that might be useful.
(Why start up WiFiInit.exe during autorun, if it's only useful after the Autorun reBoot?)
Code:
CreateShortcut("\Windows\StartUp\WiFiInit.lnk","\Windows\WiFiInit.exe")
I basicly set up the Second mortscript that will run after the Autorun reboot.
And i make sure the script is not to short. A script that is to short might actually copy the second script so fast into the autorun folder that it will actually be run immediately at during Autorun.
And i make sure the script deletes itself
Code:
RegDeleteKey( "HKLM" , "Services\SqmUpload" , TRUE , TRUE )
RegDelete( "HKLM" , "init" , "Launch99" )
SetFileAttribute("\Windows\StartUp\ReplaceFileOperations.mscr", "readonly", FALSE)
SetFileAttribute("\Windows\StartUp\ReplaceFileOperations.mscr", "system", FALSE)
CreateShortcut("\Windows\StartUp\WiFiInit.lnk","\Windows\WiFiInit.exe")
Copy( "\Windows\CLASC.mscr", "\Windows\StartUp\Clean AutoShortCutStartUp.mscr" )
Delete( "\Windows\StartUp\ReplaceFileOperations.mscr" )
So you can choose during which Boot you want to do what.
But it's better to do it after the first Reboot in case there is no Autorun installation and the phone reboots before finishing the RFO script.
So the Yummy goes to the CLASC.mscr.
What Does CLASC.mscr Do?
Well this does the actuall JuJu...
It takes over the Job of AutoAttribute.exe, so that can be kicked out of the Rom.
Code:
SetFileAttribute("\Windows\StartUp\Clean AutoShortCutStartUp.mscr", "readonly", FALSE)
SetFileAttribute("\Windows\StartUp\Clean AutoShortCutStartUp.mscr", "system", FALSE)
It Takes over the Job of AutoShortcut.exe and initflashfiles.
(less autoshortcut.provxml files in the final rom for the people to lazy to put these into a .rgu file for correct cleanliness)
Also Autoshortcut.exe is set up to run and check the regsitry at every Boot up, so out with this nonsense.
Code:
MkDir("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office")
CreateShortcut("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Office\Adobe Reader.lnk","\Windows\AdobeReaderLE.exe")
And eventually it run some Post Stuff to make setting up the device easier at first boot.
Code:
Run("\Windows\ConnectionSetup.exe")
Delete( "\Windows\StartUp\Clean AutoShortCutStartUp.mscr" )
Message("Thank you for installing A SPC Optimized Rom. ","Installation Finished")
Also sometimes people encounter a registry setting that does not get applied directly because of .rgu or .provxml conflict.
So instead of making a new EXTRA .provxml file to fix this.
The registry setting can be added to a file that is already there.
Code:
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins", "DefaultPortraitSkin", "\Storage Card\My Documents\Windows Media Skins\Mono SPC\portrait-htc-touch.skn")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Skins", "DefaultLandscapeSkin", "\Storage Card\My Documents\Windows Media Skins\Mono SPC\landscape-htc-touch.skn")
Or create a new start up script that runs at every start up when you have these annoying Registry settings that for some reason like to reset to a specific default value.
Code:
WriteFile("\Windows\StartUp\FixRightSFTKey.mscr", 'RegWriteString("HKCU", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113", "Open", "\Windows\Submenus\Contacts.mbi")^NL^RegWriteString("HKCU", "Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113", "Default", "Contacts")')
Less headaches going trough all the files finding the conflicts, as you now have a sure fire hit to get the registry right.
And we all know that eventually you will stumble upon the rgu or provxml file that is causing Havoc. But at least you don't have to stay awake pounding your head to find them.
Which Packages Contain Modules and Why?
Well the ones that do have Modules instead of regular files most propalby..
Work as a Module.
Show improved starting up of the application
Can be made into a module to start with (not all files like this)
Show improved handling speed or usage performance.
So when you do find Modulated files in the packages, these have been tested and found worth modulating.
These days most of the kitchen's have G'Reloc.exe build into the cooking process.
So the chance of Modules overlapping a specific memory allocation/space is fixed.
Some kitchens also offer this functionality to Make Modules of files.
But in some Junior Cheffs cases, that usually will result in (nice term coming) OverModulating.
If the kitchen you are using does not run G'Reloc.exe automatically please do so manually when cooking packages with modules.
Let's pretend I'm new to windows mobile. (I am). Can anyone tell me HOW I get to these HKEY directories that everything is edited in. If anyone could give me a step-by-step instruction on how to install or modify anything at all in the phone, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please start the steps right after the 'Turn on phone' step, as I am fairly confident I have that under control. Every time I've asked this question on other forums I just get links to different forums with no helpful information below a certain level of expertise. I have never coded or done anything other than drag and drop folders, etc so a dumbed down version of how to start and I can learn from there. Anything! PLEASE!!! I hate having this amazing machine and not being able to utilize it.
oh, Touch Pro, sprint
First you need to install a registry editor. The two most used are PHM (free http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/) or Resco Explorer (paid http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/). I prefer Resco, but everyone has their own pref.
And installation, you fire it up and simply navigate it to your registry. Pretty straightforward.
I downloaded the free one but it isn't showing up in my phone. I navigated to its folder on my pc and everything seems to be zipped. when I unzip the file extensions are *.001 and I can't open or access them. am I doing something wrong ?
also, if anyone can explain to me how to install .net framework ?

i assume you need the new 3.5 .net compact framework.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en
You simply download and install the file on your computer (not your mobile device). This file will install the framework on your computer and will activate the add/remove programs on the sync center, so the next time you connect your touch pro it will ask to install the program. Then you just follow any instructions displayed on your touch pro for final installation and you're set to go!
here's on .Net http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=470
It has an extra app to choose a default .Net.
There's also a Tips and Tricks section and a walk through for TouchFlo3D at fuzemobility.com that you may want to try.
I can relate to this problem.

I have a Alltel HTC Touch Pro. The software that came with it does not work with Vista. I googled active sync for Vista, I got links to Windows Mobile Device Center. I installed that onto my desktop. It syncs my phone to my desktop, but only shows my device memory and the storage card. I have installed downloaded and installed net.frame. When I downloaded Advanced Config Tool and draged and drop (also copied & pasted) into the device memory and tried to click the cab. file it only shows that it will go to the c: drive on my desktop. I do not see anything showing for the windows on my device. Hopefully someone can post some useful infomation about this. Yes I did use search, that lead me here. There are lots of complete noobs. Before we can add useful information for others. ( like showing off the really cool function of these new phones we have to be able to use them ourselves. Thanks for any help.
Here's some tips that might help you:
When plugging your Touch Pro into your PC via USB, you should be prompted on the Touch Pro whether you want to connect as "ActiveSync" or "Disk Drive". You should click "ActiveSync" for installing applications.
If you are using your desktop PC and download an application for your Touch Pro, it will typically be .exe or .cab. The .exe files are intended to run on your desktop PC first, and will then trigger an installation to your Touch Pro through ActiveSync (Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Windows Vista).
If the file is a .cab, it is intended to run on your Touch Pro directly and will install the program. To move a .cab to your Touch Pro, you use the explore feature in ActiveSync (or similar feature in Mobile Device Center), and drag and drop. (Alternatively, you can download .cab files directly onto your phone from the source website using the Opera web browser). Once the .cab is on your Touch Pro, you use the file explorer program on your phone to naviagte to the file and then execute it.
When you install programs onto your TouchPro, a dialogue appears on the phone to walk you through the installation. To save your phone's shared memory, you can install programs to your memory card. Unfortunately, some applications work best when installed onto the phone versus installing them onto the memory card.
Hope that helps
Thank you very much for your reply. I'll give this another try. I had the Alltel HTV Touch Flo awhile back and was running XP on the desktop. If I remember correctly, I saw my device in the tree layout with the software running XP. I gave the Touch Flo to a family member and got a BlackBerry Curve. Wanted to go back to a windows platform for the versitilty of programs. I know everything has a learning curve to it. With lots of reading and study, trial and error, and help from generous people here. Noobs like myself can get a lot more use and enjoyment from their devices. Each new version that comes out is getting faster, more powerful, and has more features. Others see these things that we have and want one. It would be helpful if we could help them to see all the possibilities that are there. The I Phone gets a lot of attention with commercials and has opened up for new apps being developed. There are as many, if not more apps for widows. We just have to learn to implement them with our device. I know I did not start this thread, but others can see the original posters title and understand their, and my question. Thanks again to the reply, and to anyone else who comes up with more help for the noobs.
I'm on of those guys who hates the windows 6.5 Honeycomb menus. So after reading some points here I changed mine. Now you can to!
AwesomeStart is a modification to WM 6.5 that gives you a nice simple list that's fun and easy to use. Just install the cab and you're good to do.
Better yet, couple it with JSPA's Program Manager and my own Start Menu Sorter and you'll have the best menu in town.

Not Working...
I just tried your app on my TP2 CDMA with Mighty Mike 6.5 ROM and it does not appear to work unless there is something I'm missing.... but it seemed pretty strait forward...
Any ideas or comments?
Not working either
tried but does not work on my HD2
"installation unsuccessful"...strange!
Weird.. the only thing I can think of is for some reason the cab refuses to overwrite files in your windows directory. I'll attach just the source files. Just unzip them and copy the files in to the \Windows directory on your device.
Vga pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
zip file
So just copy this Unzipped file and put into -windows-?
Copied the contents of zip file and then did a soft reset but doesnt seem to work on the HD2
Doesn't work on HD2. Tried cab and tried zip to overwrite files. Neither work after soft reset. Plesse kindly fix as I SO want this.
Cant get it to work on my TP2 with HTC 6.5 rom either...?
Works great on my Rhodium, thanks!
Strange about the HD2. Can you see what StartMenu_GridScene files you have in your windows directory? Maybe they are by a different name.

Thank you mallman...confirmed working. And thanks to the OP
worked after adding those extra files, thanks!
Also, curious if we can have the ability to get 2 columns in the landscape, since Its a waste of space to have only 2-3 on one view, so its also an even amount (Same amount seen in portrait as landscape)
So it seems that some roms use StartMenuCust_xxxx to get the grid layouts but not all of them. I've rebuild the cab and included the duplicates. Give this a try and see if it installs and fixes the problem on the HD2's.

Hello all,
I have found WORKING little app to save CABs from MarketPlace. You can download the app here:

(use fixed version posted in the comments of the article: http://blog.idlezone.org/public/DarkApps/DarkCABCatcherInstaller_quickfix.CAB)
Awsome, thanks for posting ! =d
Thank you So So So Much

Works it also for paid apps?
doesnt work for me.
Awsome, How do you work this thing.
When I run DarkCABCatcher, I have set fom folder to \.\Application Data\Volatile to \.\My Documents.
The DarkCABCatcher application shows the following:
MKP5C5036.cab OK!
MKP5C5036.cab installed.
MKP5C5036.cab started.
MKP5C5036.cab copy Ok.
When I look in my \.\My Documents folder there is no .cab file collected.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard
Thanks !
I never used MarketPlace yet, but just in case, I'll keep that trick handy and try it.
I don't understand their position on "piracy", since I generally only use free software...
When it's not free, I buy the licenses, but since I'm flashing a lot these months, I really doubt MarketPlace would recognize my device next time I log on, so this trick may be unvaluable... Just to keep access to what I had legally bought.
Thanks for this, but unfortunately on cooked WM6.5 portuguese ROM it doesn't work. I confirmed that I have NetFW3.5 installed so I don't know what's wrong:
What a pity - don´t work at all on T-Mobile Vario V (HTC TouchPro2) with Windows Mobile 6.5.
Sometimes it write the cab is copied - but can´t find it in the destination folder.
Sometimes it just don´t show anything.

Cool app, didn't work
The critical thing this app shows is where the temporary CAB files are downloaded when installing from the Marketplace app.
Just open this folder in Windows Explorer while the phone is connected to your device. You have to turn on "view hidden and system folders" to see the folder on your phone.
Wait and watch the folder during the install. It will create a CAB file, which will get an icon as soon as the file is finished writing to the device. Quickly copy the file off the phone onto your computer.
(I have installed z-zip and associated CAB files with the program, which is why I get a nice icon as soon as the download has finished.)
