Hi Folks,
i found a trick to make an autoinstall from strorage card (like from extended Rom)!
autorun.exe looks for the file config.txt on the place is in registry stored in:
"HKLM\Comm"
"AutoRunCFG" = "\Speicherkarte\Autoinstall\config.txt"
so i changed the registry entry and now i am able to put config.txt and the files to install on every place i want.
on windows Mobile 2003 devices this works wonderful!
on problem i have now with windows mobile 5 devices:
when installing a question appears where to store files (device or storage card)!
can anybody help me to get rid of this question during automatic cab install??
i want install all cab files to device without any questions!!
pbelcl: apologies for my ignorance, but is this very different to a 2577 folder?
with a 2577 cab we could use this info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=225375#225375
and choose a default install folder I think for WM5.

Thanks for your quick answer!
i read the other tread and if i understood it right i have to remove the .dll file from my cabs?
i'll try this and tell you if it worked ....
I think the other way round.
I've never done it before, but you need to make a custom cab and .inf file, and specify the installation location in therere, and then the "choose a location" dialog doesn't come up. I'm not sure, I'll try this at home later.

Thanks, that would be interesting for me because i cant generate cab files because i hav no developer software for this.
i also have access to a cab file manager (at a customer) where i can edit the cab files and change them as i need it.
if it is possible to generate an "empty" cab file for me that would be nice ....
pbelcl: I never use the cabwizard either, I use cab manager. To make an empty cab, take any normal cab (download one of mine?) and just remove all the files from it. That's what I always do!

ok, this is also my way to get an empty cab file
there is one question interesting:
Sometimes there is a "CheckFile.exe" and a "CeSetup.dll" in the cab file.
Do i need them for any work during install this cabfile or can i delete them also?
I remove everything from my cabs, and then use cab manager and drag and drop stuff. So I've never used those files. I will have to read up on how to make a "normal", but I don't think they're necessary if you didn't put them in there!

Hi folks,
again my last problem with automatic install on WM5 devices:
when my automatism starts to install the cab files (from where ever) each time there comes a popup windows where to install the cabfile (storage card or device).
for my routines it is not important becaue most of my cab files only set some registry keys and dont install files on the device!
Does anybody know how i can get rid of this window and install the files to device WITHOUT question popup window??
Hi
I wonder if somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify software installtion CAB's so that I can load them into extended ROM so that on a hard reset they automatically install & register..
For example SPB GPS monitor. I've downloaded the CAB and install file. I have installed it to my MDA,registered it and downloaded the tariff file.
Now, I can find the tariff registry file and update the CAB file (using WinCAB). Also, I can search for the registration files in the registry an add those to the CAB file.
But how do I automatically install to the device or storage card without having to specify?? Has anybody customised the install CAB's???
Cheers

Well for doing this u must do the following:
1) unhide the extended_rom
2) unlock it
3) view it with a third party program
4) copy into it the .cab u want
5) edit config.txt in extended_rom so it will run the .cab u want.
But the most important thing u must do.... it took me 2 days to find it out and over 20 hard reset... is to first run a .cab file that it will disable the wm5 security. When u install a program not to ask u if it is not authorized.
That is it...
I cannot find a working cab to disable the WM5 security.
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks for that. But I have no problem with modifying the extended ROM. What I wanted to know was is there a way that when a CAB file is run from extended ROM it will be installed to the device/Storage card and be registered, withour having to enter anything during installation.
I guess I could look for the Registry entries and make those into a CAB file, I wondered if the program installation CAB could be mofified in any way??
Cheers

Hi, I've read somewhere in the forum that is possible to use the ExtRom Autorun application to install the cabs you want after a Hard reset.
I have a question regarding that issue. Is it possible to change the config.txt file in a way that you can silently install apps not only on the main memory but also onto the Storage Card?
What I'm looking for is an autoinstaller of some kind...
Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my bad English!
...Anyone?
Hi
You can use WinCE Cab Manager to edit your cab files and change the Default Install Dir.
Open the cab you want to edit and then in Default Install Dir make a new folder named Storage Card (if you want to install on Storage Card). In Storage Card folder create the subfolder for your cab app then save.
You can also create a especific folder or shortcut to be created on start menu of your pocket pc.
Then you just copy all your edited cabs to ExtROM and when you hard reset your pocket they will be installed on Storage Card.

Will try that, thanks!

Obrigado pela ajuda, vou testar e depois digo como correu!
i tried that, but, i still have a question: with wince cab manager, if I'm doing that @coxrui the application is still asking for the location of the cab installation. how can i install it directly to storage card without asking?
P.S. solved: you have to use hard-code paths to storage card.
Hello.
Is it possible to change (for installation) directories when I'm installing apps thru cab files? I'm meant I have only two possibilities : storage and storage card... Im looking for something that helps me install any apps cab to separate customizable folder...
CABinstal won't work because: I'm choosing cab file, destination, start and... wm6 asks me where to install: storage or Storage card (with no chanses to install in directory which i have choosed)
I have Schap's 3.60a rom

TIA,
