i keep getting when message when installing .exe generally to pda. s/w such as cetuner, double button launcher, igolf will not install as application manager or CE application manager is not loaded/located etc.
is this windows XP appplication manager or s/w you have to install onto XDa or does this simply signify that s/w is not meant for this release ie ppc2k - lat would be strange as some s/w made for ppc2k
any one else struggle to install s/w??
ps have installed lots of others as zip etc but .exe seem to not go well
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.

Forgive me if I misunderstood your intent with that statement, but...
That kind of elitist attitude will only ensure the ultimate demise of what you love. THE community.
You were a n00b once.
Too many noobs in my mind means too many people who don't know what they are doing, or more importantly WHY they are doing it.
While I am relatively new to the android scene, I am certainly not new to *nix, and so I think it is important to understand what you are doing when you customize what is essentially a linux computer with a Java-Based applications platform, and GUI.
It is important to READ before you just go foraging ahead, and this tool makes it much easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to do something wrong.
@windows user:
it is using microsoft net framework, so you must install one (download free from microsoft.com) to run application.
@author:
I think this is good idea for whom doesnt how to use adb, or hasnt got enough time to understand adb tool.
Please make it better.
Thanks
Has anyone had an error message:
"Droid Explorer has stopped working
Windows is checking for a solution to this problem..."
I have Windows 7 Home premium x64 with microsoft .NET 4.0 framework. I tried the x64 and x86 versions, get the same error message with both.
Edit: I installed the beta 0.8.7.2 and it seems to be working fine so far.
Edit Edit: I am having a hell of a time getting it to recognize my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 x64 box, Motorola Droid, I have busybox installed, my drivers are all up to date, .NET 4.0 framework, USB Debugging ticked. Is there anything else I have overlooked?
How can i read the HD2 windows folder on my pc?
Edit..
There has to be a way im just missing something simple.. trying to learn a new scripting language (well new to me lua) and it would be nice to be able to edit it in dreamweaver and check to see the edits in windows before i launched it.
it's a view thing
don't know which version of windows you're running, but go to folder and search options (or folder options), then on the view tab, push the radio button to view hidden files and folders, then click apply.
vista.. so should i be opening it in disk mode or active sync?
im trying it in disk mode noe but its still showing an empty folder.. this has to be some simple ass **** im just overlooking
i changed all my permissions to show extensions , protected system files and hidden files.. and still cant see anything in the hd2 windows folder/
ok got it..
control panel.. customize... hidden files.. allow hidden filles/ extensions/ protected files to be shown..
then un plug and re plug phone back in as active sync and there they are
Thanks!
just for info disk mode only allows access to the sd card.
in my experience the windows folder takes so long to open through the pc explorer that i
create the file on the pc,
copy to the sd card
use phone file man to copy into windows
test it, if more work needed edit the copy already on the pc, and copy that to sd then phone file man again to copy over the one in windows.
a bit awkward, but still quicker than the two minutes it can take to open when you try to open the windows folder from the pc.
Im probably missing something really small here..
Running Windows 7 Pro x64 (desktop)
I have unticked the "Hide Protected Operating System Files" in Windows Explorer and can see the Windows folder on the HD2
...... BUT.......
When I click onto it, Windows Explorer just sits there loading, and loading... and just sit there loading. Nothing comes up.
I have even left it for over 10 minutes and it still sits there loading. When I try to close Explorer, it tells me the program has stopped responding and crashes.
Any ideas ?

I've got Win7 x64 as well. Loading the Windows directory on the HD2 is really slow - maybe 2 minutes? - but it does load. Not too sure what your problem is; perhaps antivirus is interfering?
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.

Sir, you don't need to run/install Net Framework from your device, but you must run it from your PC via Active Sync.

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.

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.
