Need help extracting gwes

Hey all,
I am trying to change the wait symbol animation on my PPC, and have read up on it, but all the directions say I need to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui from the windows folder, modify it, and overwrite the old one with the modified. Unfortunately, I can't even copy it out of the windows folder. Seems like no one can get it to work very well.

Does anyone know how I can copy and then overwrite the file?

Come on, I know someone here must know how to do this.

use a program like gsfinder+

Hey Sleuth,
I've tried using GSFinder+ and Resco File Explorer. On both programs, it will let me use the copy command, but when I try to paste it in another folder it says that the file cannot be copied. Any ideas?

Basically, I'm hoping there's an easier way to get at the file than dumping the whole ROM.

Same problem here, any ideas?

please delete solved

May sound dumb to some of you but i do not understand on how to install a patch please help have searched thank you

Put it over the eye that hurts??
Seriously, what "patch" are you referring to? A .CAB file, a .ZIP file, a .REG file??? If you tell us what you want to do....i.e. what you want to install, then we can help you....

i have schaps 4.30 and he put up a patch but its in rar form but i cant unzip on my phone for some reason and if i try unzip before i put it on i dont know where to put it either way heres there forum its on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355774
thanks

I don't see a RAR file in that thread, all the attachments seem to be .CAB files, but hey, maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough!!! Anyway.......
To unpack RAR files, you can use WinRAR (http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar371.exe) on your PC to extract the contents of the RAR archive. Unpack them to any folder on your PC (e.g. C:\TEMP) and then use ActiveSync's Explore button to find the file on your PC and then copy the file across to your phone (e.g. My Documents or Storage Card).
It's quite likely that the RAR file only contains a CAB file which you can then open on your phone - use File Explorer to find the CAB file, then tap on it to install it.
You should follow any specific instructions in Schap's thread when installing the CAB file, but in any event it's probably a good idea to soft reset your phone after you've installed something.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

ok after you pointed out a cab(i feel like a idiot my bad ) i figured it out thank you very much for all your all every one thank you .

Help!!

i just bought HTC Touch HD. I download some app from here but is rar file not cab file. Anyone can teach me how to convert the rar to cab file or not? or teach me how to put the rar to my touch hd. One more Question i cannot connect to youtube when i click the icon is loading after few second is show connection fails. Can anyone help me!!!!!!!!!!!!

A rar file is like a zip file, so you'll need to extract the cab from within it.
If you don't already have a rar-compatible piece of software on your PC, then WinRar and 7zip are your best bets.
If however you're looking to access the rar file on the phone itself, I'm not sure if that's possible. Sorry.

Ya i know. i have the winrar software but when i unzip it. it come out a folder and alot of file inside.

Putting new programs / cab files onto the pro 2?

So, I used to have a tytn2, and played with it a bit, so I am familiar with how to put cab files on it, etc.
I'm stumped right now... because I have my new pro 2, and when I download the program, it is supposed to show up as a cab file, when I unzip it. But actually, when I unzip it, I just am seeing several files, such as one ending in xml, and then another one or few ending with 000, or 001, 002, etc.
From what I remember, when I used to put the cab files onto my tytn2, I would just unzip whatever the program was, and I could see a cab file there, which I would then transfer to my device and then run.
What in the world am I doing wrong here?
Help would be super appreciated!

problem solved
problem solved, im an idiot. for some reason my system is showing the cab file as a zip file which wants to be unzipped. so i've not realized that i've been double clicking cab files, and then winzip is showing me the insides of those files.
= )

So I take it you just changed the file name from zip to cab?

Either that or he has the file explorer on his computer set to hide known extensions. Cab files are recognized as compressed file formats by many handlers like 7zip. Which is why he might have confused the icon for a zip file if he couldn't see the file extension.

Help on extracting a Hotfix.

I was wondering if someone could give me some direction, cause I have been trying and havent found a way yet. I am trying to extract a HTC hotfix from their site on my computer. I can extract the hotfix into a folder, but its in 8.3 filename format, I am trying to extract it so that I can cab it up and try installing it in my spare tp2.
And to answer the question, its not for the TP2 thats why I cant run it on the TP2, my problem is I am trying to extract it, and then make it a cab with WinCE Cab so that the registry settings get implimented and files get copied to the right location.
Any help would be appreciated, been looking all day to make this work

Can you provide a URL to the hotfix, so others (such as myself) can have a try at this?

Its the sms hotfix from htc dated 1.28.2010 for the HD2, But that still doesnt answer my question of how to extract this exe file to make a cab and try it. Seppi had done it to an older version which helped a bit with the issue but its not this new version which I am willing to try since the older version did work and did improve the sms somewhat. What I need is to be able to extract the exe with long file name, everytime I extract it it extracts with the short filename.
