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.

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

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.

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.

Until now, I had access to a PC to flash the various offerings of the good cooks but all this has changed! I have tried to flash ROMs using an Intel Mac running XP but for whatever reason the .exe program will not run.
Does anyone know why this is and more importantly, what I can do to get the .exe ROM installer program to run on WinXP/Mac?
Thanks

You may need to install the .net framework. Works fine on XP in bootcamp and through Parallels on my Mac-tel.
Yes, you will need the .NET framewotk version 2.0 or higher.
Thanks for your help with issue - there's always an answer available from the forum.
Thanx

I just extract the .exe file using StuffIt Expander and flash the .IMG file using the SD card method (drag and drop download to device via Missing Sync). Works much faster than PC-based flashing.
I come up with an error when I try to run .exe. I can only run cab files. Is this correct?
.cab files install software, .exe files run those pieces of software once installed.
What is the error message? Try reinstalling it (whatever IT is).
You can normally choose how you install software on your WinMo device. Developers / software companies offer an EXE but you run that from Windows itself and not your WinMo device. That EXE will push the CAB file to your device, normally over ActiveSync, and then the app gets installed on your device automatically from the CAB file.
Alternatively you can often download a CAB-only version of the application. You copy this to your device and run it from Explorer or something similar directly on your device and not from Windows. The app is installed just the same, but does not leave a portion on your Windows computer.
If you've downloaded an EXE from a developer that was intended to be run / installed from Windows, it will not run on your WinMo device.
My hero is running modaco 2.2, but I don't know how to install my .apk's as sync doesn't work I understand I can run an adb or soemthing I'm pretty much a newb. SO step by step would be nice.
You can put your .apk files on a web server on your PC and grab the files from there using the browser on the phone.
Also you can install an ftp server like swiftp on the phone and then use an ftp client on your PC to transfer files to the phone. Then you'll need a file manager to install the .apk.

why would you do that??
Just cos Sync doesn't work (which is a good thing really, it's a pile o' ****e!) you can still copy the APK files to your phone using the USB cable; just mount the sd card.
then copy them across and open them on the phone using a file manager like Astro.
Sheesh, why do people always try to make stuff more difficult than it needs to be.....?
Ah yes, you're probably right . I don't use HTC Sync here (it doesn't work on Linux), so I thought his whole USB driver does not work so he could not use USB.
But I guess he still needs a file manager to install the .apk files once he has them on the phone, right? I tried to find a downloadable file manager .apk yesterday, but couldn't find one.
Now I have a question how do I run ADB commands like all the ADB-Install "instert apk here" things I've rooted and everything, but I don't know how I run those commands?
A step by step would be nice of everything I need to have, and what the commands would be.
dude, forget the ADB commands.
see my first post.
And BTW, even though HTC Sync doesn't work on Linux, the USB drivers for mass storage do, or at least, my Ubuntu rig running 9.04 happily saw my hero and copied stuff across to it in mass storage mode.
