Re: Other Methods to make a cab file

gmack,

Are you trying to install this via ActiveSync or direct from the phone?

I know the method works from the phone, not sure about ActiveSync since I hate it and try my best to avoid it.

Re: Other Methods to make a cab file

Hi

I'm using win xp to make the cab archive, and then i transfer the cab to my loox with activesync. to install the cab i use total commander and "dubbel click" on it. should i try to use the memory card to install it.

I have also tried to use the "-i" switch to set id to 0 (zero) cause wince cab manager keep saying that id is 2577

Edit:

Now i've done some more testing.

the only way i get the cab to install is to create the cab with wince cab manager and take the file "YOURAP~1.000" and add that to the directory so it will de include in the command line build of the cab

Re: Other Methods to make a cab file

Stupid me

the excellent tutorial that GoodThings2Life wrote is for smart phones, and i was trying it on a pda

now i done some more testing and found following:

It looks like the cab files differs depending on if you have a PDA (like me) and a smart phone.

To create the cab file you normaly write a .inf file and for a SP use cabwizsp.exe and for PDA's cabwiz.exe. The cabwizSP packs the files that should be included in the archive and creates and includes the install script in form of _setup.xml. the metod described by GoodThings2Life is only to skip inf and write the xml your self.

For PDA, you also create an .inf file ( you can use the same as used for SP i think) but use cabwiz.exe which also packs the files and makes an install script called "yourapplicationname".000 and includes it in the cab.

This .ooo file you cant write by hand i think, when it looks like it is complied/compressed. But i can be wrong here.

Last we have WinCE cab manager. It includes two setup files when you choose all types (id=0), bot the xml and .000 file. This makes it doesn't matter if you install it on PDA or SP.

I hope i got i right, if not....

(sorry if my english is bad)

Re: Other Methods to make a cab file

I do all of my work on XP for the Mogul, Touch, Tilt, and i760 (since I have access to those for testing). If by PDA you mean Axim, iPaq, etc. then I can see how that might be a problem. I appreciate the follow-up on the matter.

Re: Other Methods to make a cab file

Yes i mean PPC like ipaq

I found this tool when looking for some freeware tool to make cab, it allows you to look at the structure of an existing cabs inf, and extract them.
http://www.codeppc.com/telechargemen...nf/msceinf.htm

I think if you find the answer to your problem/question and it works you leave a "feedback" to the thread and not just leave...
