Can anyone tell me of a program that can modify a cab file.
I have the eten dialer cab but want to change the colours. Managed to extract the cab file and modify the bitmaps, but how do i replace the original files in the cab.
Hey!
Was wondering if there is any program that can do this ? Extract the registery entries from a cab file to a .reg file.. I know that WinCE Cab manager can do this, but the feature is disabled in the demo and the full version costs 99 dollars!
Isn't there any free program ?
Open the cab file with 7-zip or some other zip file manager. The registry settings are usually in the .xml file.
Rename the cab to a rar, or just use winrar. There are also free proper extractors, but I can't remember the names!

well, you always can install program that reg you want to get, then just copy its registry as normal catalogs/files with totalcommander on ppc, then edit on pc..it is nice way of making preconfigured oempacks.
Hello everyone,
I have a problem, to create my rom, when I edit in default.hv some changes, such as the 4 columns, the modes camera .... when installing rom, disappear are changing, as if it had not changed anything.
I do not know if it will be for sometime provxml overwrites something, or is not that.
thank you all!
sorry for my english google translate
you should not edit default.hv.
Make a .rgu (name it for example tweaks put it in the SYS folder) file and set your settings there.
I usualy make a .reg file and put all my settings in there. Then I make that a .cab file (with QuickCab 1.0) and convert it to a package (with Ervius Package Creator v2). Works like a charm
whyen you edit the hive. any RGU or provxml files would over write the settings. thus why they do not stick.

- Michy's Installer -
Have you ever got an "Installation Unsuccesfull" message? Or a "Uninstall failed" message? Or worst thing an "Missing privileges" while installing a cab?
Now this messages are gone. With my installer, which is a complete Wceload and uninstaller replacement, any installation will complete without any problem
Main features:
Full repleacement for winceload
Select if you want or not to run setup dlls
Avoid failing for missing privileges
Get the space that an'installed app consumes after installing too
Search within your device the cabs you have and select what you want to install
Analyze FB_Install folders
Batch cabs installation
Installation processes can be aborted any time
If you are overwriting exes, they will be automatically terminated before installing
Advanced cab analyzer (view files contained, shortcut, regs, extract them......etc)
- MichyPrima_UC -
This system will let you to install:
.reg
.cab
.rgu
.xml
.provxml
.exe
Putting them in your SD/Microdrive/Diamond internal storage in the folder FB_Install. And them will be installed at first boot.
Information about files you can install:
- Files .cab -
For a base installation of cabs you can put them in the folder FB_Install. Setup DLL will not be executed to avoid setup freezes. Anyway, there are ways to customize how your cab will be installed:
Installation to SD
Installation to MD
Activating Setup DLL
Possibility to use wceload to install (not advised)
For using them:
If your cab is mycab.cab and you want to install it to sd, simply create a file called mycab.tosd. if you want to install to MD, the name will be mycab.tomd, if you want to enable setup dll, the name will be mycab.enabledll. If you want to install using wceload... use .old extension.
- Files .reg, .rgu, .provxml e .xml -Simply put them to FB_Install directory
- Files EXE - For a simple execution put them in FB_Install folder. If you need command line arguments, simply put them in a file called as your exe, but with .arguments extension.
- All files - All files can be skipped using .skip extension. eg if your file is mycab.cab , create a file with mycab.skip and it will not considered
- Other special functions: -
File/folder structure restore
Creating the structure on SD it will be reversed into storage. We have more than only one folder where we can put our files (in FB_Install):
CopyInWindowsFolder (\windows)
CopyInProgramsFolder (\windows\start menu\programs)
CopyInProgramFilesFolder (\program files)
CopyInFavoritesFolder (\windows\favorites)
CopyInFontsFolder (\windows\fonts)
CopyInStartupFolder (\windows\startup)
CopyInRootFolder (\)
So, for copy/overwrite files in windows folder, only thing you need is to create a folder in FB_Install with name CopyInWindowsFolder. This is a recursive copy, so all subfolders will be copied.
Shortcut restoring
You can specificate the shortcut to create in shortcuts.txt file and put it in FB_Install folder. Each line will be a shortcut to create. The first part of the line contains where the shortcut will be, 2nd where the shortcut will point. The two parts are separated by ":".
We have ids there to:
%SD% (\storage card)
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU% (\windows\start menu\programs)
%PROGRAM_FILES% (\program files)
%STARTUP% (\windows\startup)
%MYDOCUMENTS% (\my documents)
Example line:
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%\Test.lnk:%SD%\myprogram.exe
This line will create a "Test.lnk" in programs which points to \storage card\myprogram.exe.
Possibility to avoid final reset (not advised)
Just create a file with name NoResetAtEnd without extension in FB_Install folder.
Possibility to temporarily skip customization
Just create a file with name SkipCustomization without extension in FB_Install folder.
Do you want to process config lines to runcc?
Create a file with name AddToConfig.txt and there put your config lines.
Possibility to delete files or folder
Create a file with name Delete.txt. Each line is something to delete. You can use IDs as shortcuts
All I have to say is

Michy, you are great!!
Wow, this must have been a LOT of work. Tnx a lot for your efforts!!

Sounds very useful for those of us that change roms often.
Good work.
PS
My personal holy grail would be an APP that records changes as apps are installed to a point where I am happy then be able to gather all of the changes and build an install routine! Am I dreaming?
Wow sounds awesome and a gui, can't wait & thankyou
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! cant wait...this should save me tons of time, and unlike other appz this seems easy 2 use and great!!!....thanks for ALL the hard work! ..waiting patiently
