[APP] Grab MSL V0.5 - Should work on TP2, TP, Mogul etc.

[krohnjw]

Ok, since the only manual method of grabbing the MSL can be a bit intimidating to new users and requires a reg editor and a file explorer like total commander, I wrote a quick app to enable/disable logging and then read/parse the log file to display your MSL. It works for me quite well but if anyone would be willing to test it I would appreciate it.


I am attaching the cab which will install the following:
- The application (13k), a Readme with some more info as far as what it does exactly, and some contact info.

Also attached now the .net 3.5 CF cab if anyone needs it.


Please let me know if you try it and it works or does not work for you.

Credits go to pzztgotbagz for posting the method and strra for reposting it today and motivating me to code a solution for folks.


edit:.
v0.5: Added a save option after MSL is grabbed. Will default to \Storage Card\msl.txt and bounce to \ if \storage card is not present.
v0.4: minimal changes to menu structure init. Added .net CF 3.5 cab
v0.3: minimal changes to exit code.
Added v0.2: Removed requirement to disable logging before grabbing MSL.

it works great...but i think that getting the msl before the last reset to disable would be better...just my 2 cents...great work!!

V0.2 up - doesn't require reset prior to grabbing MSL (just remember to disable it so you don't get a huge log!) Thanks for the input.

GetMSLFromLogFile.exe
ObjectDisposedException


at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
at System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu._CreateMainMenuTree( )
at System.Windows.Forms.Form.set_Menu()
at GetMSLFromLogFile.Form1.InitializeComponent()
at GetMSLFromLogFile.Form1..ctor()
at GetMSLFromLogFile.Program.Main()

At what point do you get that - what version of the CF and WM version (6.1, 6.5?) as well?

Microsoft .NET CF 3.5

Get that message when I run the application by tapping it from Programs group.

WM 6.1, stock ROM, just got a New In Box TP2 as a replacement for a TP yesterday from Sprint. Have NOT messed with the stock ROM at all.

What new version? I downloaded the software in the first post.

Odd - running stock here as well. Let me look at a few things.

0.3 - if you have the latest cab then that's it.

edit: Try this one.
