Hello There,
I've a patch from microsoft that is available as .msi file.
Any ideas how to run the .msi file on wince .net 4.2 ? It doesn't recognize it as an installable file.
Any suggestion? Converting to .cab or anything on such lines?
- TIA - Bob.

wififofum installation problem!!!!

i've downloaded the msi file of wififofum from its original web, i tried to install it into my device but there was a message said, microsoft .net framework not found. after several days, i download the .net framework 2.0, and i try to install it again but it stay the same, the wififofum couldn't be installed into my device.....
any suggestions?
I've got the same problem. Wififofum and many others stopped working after a hard boot. Now I can't unpack the .net framework stuff. Don't know what to do.
(!)
problem solved...
just locate your installed .net framework in your desktop pc, and find in the .net framework 2.0 subfolder, locate folder winCE, and find your specified processor there. i'm figured out this morning... i hope yours too... ^_^
I don't sync. No pc. I deal strictly with cabs.

How to create CAB for WM5/WM6

Hi all, what's the best software to use if I want to create .cab file for installing apps or chaing registry etc on the Universal's WM5/WM6?
I have tried "WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason. I know you can use Visual Studio .NET 2005 something like that, but is there any lighter program in addition to VS .NET?
Thanks in advance!

"WinCE CAB Manager" but the cab file failed to be installed on my Windows Mobile emulator for some reason -> u maybe set the wrong version variables?
check it! ;-) i think it workz!!!
I have set it to support all CPUs and on the OS type I have set it to support Pocket PC 2005. I will give it some more go later and see how it does.
Hi, it is still not working, I have attached the screenshot of the configurations in the cab and the error messsage I get. I tried it with my Universal and the Windows Mobile Device emulator and I got the same error.
Can anyone tell me what I have set wrong in this CAB? Thanks!
BTW, I was only trying to add a small .txt file by using this .cab as a test.
I have just got it working now! I installed WinCE CAB Manager on another PC and it is working fine!! For some reason the cab file it makes on my laptop doesn't work.
Anyway, I will use the other PCs to create the cab file then.
Wrong thread... Sorry

[UTILITY] CabTools - ROM package <--> CAB converters and more. For ROM builders

These tools will let you create ROM package and install CAB files from each other. I know there are already tools for them, but I didn't like them, because they had many errors. Of course my programs may have errors too, but I like them better anyway Some of these tools use external applications which need .NET and/or VC++ runtimes to work properly!
cab2pkg
This utility will extract a cab and create a ROM package. (just like ervius package creator, but this will get the info from the _setup.xml file). Simply tell him the cab file name as parameter, and it will extract into a new directory. (Or if you don't like the command prompt, simply drag the cab onto this file, and it'll extract it)
pkg2cab
This utility does the reverse of the above. It creates a cab installer from a ROM package.
Usage: pkg2cab [Application Name] [Directory1] {Optional directory 2} {...}
For example: pkg2cab OneNote OneNote OneNote_lang_0409
If everything goes fine the programs should create a setup.cab
pkg2cab does only support "flat" directories, so if your directory contains modules (directories that look like files), then you have to copy the file out of them manually, and delete the directory
extractpkg
This application will extract a package from a ROM, using a SYAKR file removal information file XML. If you don't know what syakr is, then check these pages:
http://winmo.sztupy.hu/syakr.html
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=277390
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462841
Put this application into a kitchen with an extracted ROM and SYAKR
Enter command prompt and enter "extractpkg XMLfilenamewithoutextension" so for example if you want to extract the fmradio, you should write: "extractpkg fmradio"
This app does the same as SYAKR, but instead of deleting the files/registry settings/initff lines, it will copy them to a separate directory, and adds the appropriate things that are needed for a package, that BuildOs likes
BEWARE! The current SYAKR tasks are not designed for extractpkg to work, and sometimes the extraction might fail, or the created package would be defective. If so, please try to correct the XML file!
After you extracted a package you might use pkg2cab to create a distributable CAB installer

OHH nice. someone just asked me to make a stock dialer cab for them.. this will make it easy
Amazing!, will try it indeed
wow nice tools i m going to make my own kitchen .. great work
It seems the included cabwiz might not work. You might try replacing it with a newer one: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=278074&view=findpost&p=954161
v0.2

Use (for example) total commander to extract _setup.xml from the cab file. then run xml2reg with this xml.
No...it's also freezing.
i want to create oem packages from cabs, and i have a problem. i've dragged the cab onto the "cab2pkg.exe" file and an error occurred: see attachament.
P.S. i've extracted the _setup.xml near pocketalarm.cab and i've copied next to cab2pkg.exe also. what should i do?

Are you sure your cab is located in the same folder as cab2pkg.exe? Only time I see an error is when I try dragging from outside the folder

You don't have to extract _setup.xml from the cab. If the cab contains _setup.xml then it should work fine. I only wrote to extract it separately, because then you can test whether xml2reg is working or not.
yes are in the same folder. i tried and in the same folder and in separate folders.
maybe should i try in command prompt? what command should i type there? i've tried drag & drop cab2pkg.exe space CorePlayer.v1.2.5.Build.4506.Pre.Regged.cab and i have the same result.

No manila editor for V3?

I tried m9editor and ManilaEditor 0.2, and both canceled trying to install them. Could it be that I have TouchFlo V3? Is there another editor for V3?
Thanks in advance.

where were you trying to install them? on the phone? you do know that these 2 apps are to be used on your PC, right? i don't recall an installation process for the PC. i simply copied to a folder on my PC and created a shortcut to launch the apps.
Thanks Cortez, at first I didn't know that m9editor was supposed to be run in the pc. I tried it but again it returns an error code: 0xc0000135.
Same error happens with Manila Editor 0.2.

don't know for sure but you might have to install the Microsoft .Net software from MS. check the threads that support both tools to confirm my suggestion.
Are you saying there is a .NET 3.5 framework for the PC???
What I have and installed was a .cab for the phone. I'll check it ...

Windows Phone 7 cab files can be e-mailed and downloaded, by ansar.

Hi,
The attached cab file contains an exe file, common to all wp7 roms.
It is verified that can be sent with an e-mail and then can be downloaded to the e-mail sender windows phone device.
There is no need for any other app in order to do the task, you can try it, it is completly safe.
Regards, ansar.
can we do this for all cabs ? i mean XAPs ?

Hi,
Did not try it yet but i think it will have no problem.
With xap in order to work one should include the required .xml files too.
May be it is important to test if hubs can also be passed this way, although are large sized.
But if it works for hubs etc, other brand devices like Samsung can be benefit too.

Have you read it right the first post of Ansar??
Maybe not but I can't install it on my WP7 device.
If I remember .cab is executable program for WM6.x
So I don't understand why he put it here if it's not installable.
WP7 cabs
Hi,
For your info, in all windows phone 7 ROMs there are 2 cab files included, these:
1. In OEM packages there is a special package (folder) named OEM_8x50_OS
... Inside this package there is the 1st cab named oemavatar.cab
2. In SYS packages there is a special package (folder) named MSAvatar
... Inside this package there is the 2nd cab named msavatar.cab
Both cabs have been verified that can e-mailed and then downloaded in the window phone 7 device.
The cab i included in the attachment in post #1 is made by me for testing purposes.
It includes an exe file that there is already inside the ROM of any windows phone 7 device.
It is also tested that the famus Totalcmd.cab can also be e-mailed and downloaded by the device.
Of course Total Commander cannot be executed by the wp7 device due to its header that is addressed to wm devices.
Next tests will include xap files like those of the system xap that are responsible for the Metro UI.
Regards, ansar.
