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.

After I uninstall AS4 and reinstall AS3.8, it won't work.. Synchronization won't start, Wcesmgr.exe (Activesync) won't start although wcescomm.exe had when I conect my Xda.. When I try to access the 'Mobile Device' under 'My Computer' it gives me error "Critical communications have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again" regardless if my Xda II is connected or disconnected..
Anyway, I revert back to AS3.8 bcos AS4 doesn't has backup/restore option which I use a lot..
Anyone has such problem? Is there a way to fix this problem? Oh, btw the AS4 I installed is build 3434..
To successfully uninstall ActiveSync 4.0 and reinstall a previous version of ActiveSync on your desktop PC, perform the following procedure.
1. Uninstall ActiveSync 4.0.
2. Open File Explorer, navigate to the System32 directory in your Windows directory, and then manually delete the dynamic-link library Rapi.dll.
3. Reinstall the previous version of ActiveSync.

Thanks, Shikra. That solved my problem 100%
Ooops! Hold on a sec! Maybe 90%.. Now that AS3.8 is getting back to work, it doesn't automatically ask to create a new partnership as b4.. This is really annoying, now my contacts empty, and I don't want to refill the contacts one by one cos I got hundreds of them..
Any suggestions?
Yeah...couldn't get the AS 3.8 to automatically create a new partnership after the revert.
Well, I've to be a "Guest" until someone comes out with an idea to initiate the partnership screen to load up.
Hope some good samaritan will help out.
Btw...I running W2K Sp4 on my desktop. I know it will not work with AS4...I just didn't read the fine prints before installation. Now I can connect but have to remain as guest only (after the revert).
Now it couldn't even do backup/restore.. :twisted:
I tried Short cut manager but it says it is not installed successful this is PPC 2003 BTW

Hi Gurus
I have downloaded .NET CF2 from Microsoft to my PC. How do I install it to my SPV. Its 37MB in size and is a .msi file. Do I install it on my PC and will it install on SPV on next connect ??
All help appreciated.
Asif
Somebody must know from amonst you gurus how to do this.
Dont be shy now.
Install that downloaded msi file onto your desktop PC. If you want to grab it manually the cab file for your PPC is in one of the folders it creates in Program Files. Can't remember which.
Thanx Chunkymonkey
Presumabley, once installed on my PC it will be migrated to my SPV on next connect.
Regards
Asif
When I installed it I made sure that my phone was connected and synced to my pc before installing the msi file to my pc then it did both automatically.
Cheers

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.

connect your device to your PC via ActiveSync, then, in the My Documents folder on your DEVICE, make a new folder called "Themes", then copy that windowsxp.tsk file in there. Once thats done, navigate to the .tsk file on your phone, and click on it. Then select it from the list that pops up, though I must say that this theme isnt really that great...ive just nao installed it on my device, and its kinda lame.
