Cannot open help - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

'The file cannot be found'
symptoms - help opens, but when clicking on a help link the file comes up with above error. Any path information that can be suggested to fix this?
O/S upgraded BA wm6
thanks,
Alistair.

As I can understand your flashed ROM version is non original so the Developer has just deleted the Help,Info data from the ROM,probably to achieve some more free space and let install other more useful applications.
Have a good day

have you a passwort for this map
Strange thing is that now that I've downloaded the maps (another version without the password) I can't get my TOMTOM 6 to install on my device. I did last week, the same software and same device.....now it won't install, coming up 'unsuccessful'.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
Soory Guys

If you removed the TT6 after last installation than it is possible that you have files left on your PDA/phone try restoring if you have backup before the installation. If not than usual suspect is file called BtCoreIf.dll in Windows folder. You going to have to use some tricks to get ridd of this since is system file. Cut and paste elswhere normaly works. Also remove all the remains of TomTom.
Hope this helps
AFTER 2 hard resets, can't reinstall.....should I delete that file? But even after a hard reset, it won't work!
Even other downloaded versions are not working

[Q]help.. installing Broken Sword !!

Hi,
I've played the demo on my HD. It worked (only in VGA resolution) and I liked it. So I purchased the full game from Atstraware, but the installation always fails. I sent an email to Atstraware a week ago but got no answer from them.
This was part of my email:
...
I really liked the game after playing the demo. I downloaded the full version of the game from the link provided in the email. However, the installation always fails. Here is what I did:
- I followed the link in the email and downloaded the 109 MB file (brokensword1wm5-ppc-v1-00-wm5-full.exe)
- installed it while the device is connect to the PC through ActiveSync (There was more than 250 MB free space)
- I noticed the free space went about 100 MB less.
- then this error appeared on my device "Installation of Astraware Broken Sword was unsuccessful" and this should be normal as it was said in the instructions.
- so I tried to find the file using the file manager, but couldn't find Astraware Broken Sword.Cab . I tried installing it several times but no use.
- then I noticed that after the error appears the free space returns to its original space before installing. Which obviously means that the file is being deleted after the error message.
- I even tried extracting the cab file from the downloaded exe file. I got brokensword1.PPC_2577.WM5.CAB extracted from the exe file. Then I transfered it to my device, and tried to install it but I got another error "Installation of brokensword1.PPC_2577.WM5.CAB was unsuccessful."
My device is HTC Touch HD Windows Mobile 6.1
My Pocket PC owner name is: XX
My registration code for this game is: xxxxxxx
What am I doing wrong? Could you please assist me in solving this issue?
Thank you,

Is there any way I can get it to work?
I know this is not the right place, but it is the only place I'm sure I can get help from.
always sux when full version of applications does not work
i would re-send this mail to support once a day until you get a reply
if astraware has a forum; register and post there as well
Thanks. It appears that there is a forum for Broken Sword game in the Astraware forum, but it has been inactive for 3 months. I posted my problem there anyway as you suggested. Hopefully, I will get an answer.
But if you guys could help, I would really appreciate it!
Hello
The file name said xxxx.WM5.CAB
Blackstone is WM 6.1 - may this be the problem?
usually programs for WM 5 dont work on blackstone as I have noticed while installing something with WM5 in the name...
Try to check whether there is a version for WM 6.1..
Or maybe I am worng just an opinion...
Have you tried with SCUMMVM ?
OP said the trial worked. So it's a bit odd that the full version doesn't.
I agree try it in scummVM. I play all the classics through it. Its brilliant.
i have downloaded the demo and windows installer will not instal it, when i go to where the cab is, with me program files and Astraware then Broken Sword Shadow of the Templars Demo for Pocket PC and copy the cab to my HD and soft reset when i could install the demo...
I don't know what can help you problem
Use the WVGA FIX 1.3 in order to set your screen's analysis to 640x480 and then i think it will work just fine

Installation of cab files throws errors

Hi. I just recently purchased an HTC Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile running WinMo 6.5. That being said, I have not been able to open any cab files on the device to install some software. Basically I'll transfer the cab to the device and attempt to open it. I get one of three messages depending on the app I guess. the most basic is "Installation was unsuccessful" to "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting...not digitally signed...trusted certificate" (this was from MobileFTPClient). Installing Opera Mini 5 gives a simple: "Installation of mini5wm.cab was unsuccessful".
Ok, so being a software developer for 10 years I've been looking into some registry values and can't seem to find what I need to get anything to install. If I download from the Windows Marketplace that's all good, but nothing else.
What do I need to do to be able to install cab flils directly? Honestly if I can't get this to work this phone is going back. I moved from an iPhone to this phone specifically so I can install apps and monkey around with the device, but so far I'm done before I started.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
its in one of your phone/device settings to let u download and install apps or cabs not digitally signed. thats all, i believe. just find it and check it off. or look for advanced config cab if u can find it and install that. it has an option in there also to let u download/install whatever..

The cab I have attached may help you...it's some SDK certificates that will allow installation of certain unsigned apps, but I don't know if this is what the ones you're running are requiring and missing. It won't harm anything to try this one, and you can easily uninstall it if it doesn't do the trick
Thanks guys. Sirphunkee - that cab actually installed, but I'm having the same problem. Another forum has suggested that I take the device back to T-Mobile, but it just seems like there's a setting that's not right in the OS. Demandarin - I've looked for various security permissions in the UI with no luck. I've mucked around with some Policy values in the registry per some threads on this forum, but still nothing.
I'll keep trying, and thanks.
So...weird; Opera Mini and Weather Bug (well known apps) wouldn't install, but an SMS notification disable cab installed (from the xda site) as did Evernote (evernote.com). I have no clue what the deal is, but it's getting beyond stupid that I can't install just any cab file.

Have you already installed .Net 3.5? It's a framework that many other programs use (and need) to install, and it's not on the TP2 by default...it's the only other think I could think of that would keep you from installing stuff. Cab is attached, if you don't have it already.
Got it. I installed the Device Security Manager PowerToy and was able to change the configuration there. Opera Mini 5 just installed.
Never would have thought the phone would come that locked down, but so far so good. Thanks for all of the ideas.

[APP] Windows Mobile SenseTimeTracker

On CodePlex I have published my app for tracking working time.
It is based on the SenseUI SDK.
SenseTimeTracker
For furter feature development either this thread can be used or the discussions in CodePlex.
After getting some feedback according to installation problems, I figured out, that the deployed .cab file does not contain the SQL Server Compact 3.5.
This has to be installed manually until I do not provide a msi-setup.
Explanation on how to install the .NET Compact Framwork 3.5 and/or the SQL Server Compact 3.5 has been added on the CodePlex page.
Version history:
Version 1.3
* Length checking of input fields
* Bug fixed with reports when first time card has date in january
* Issue with localization fixed
* Category edit form localized
* Creating new category did throw an excexption
* Default category is hidden in category list
Version 1.2
* cab file now creates a shortcut
* new version detection added
Version 1.1
* Initial release after UI redesign
Installation Procedure
Hi, Could you explain the Installation procedure, other than download and install is there any other additional requirement to get this program up and running?
Thanks
Download the cab file, copy to your mobile device and run it from there.
This shall install SenseTimeTracker on you mobile device.
Let me know if it doesn't, since it is my first publishing. I only installed it on my device or the emulator.
Test
OK! I downloaded you app, installed and found the following problem, btw I am on a Blackstone using G10 Dusk Ultimate 2 v 8.31
1) There is no icon present for your apps in the programs menu.
I went to programs found the your app and try starting it from there, I got the following error
Ok, SQL server was not deployed. I will try to fix this and provide an update.
On my devices there has been SQLCE installed, so I didn't recognize it.
Thanks for the hint.

No problem was glad to help, I was looking for a program like that for sometime now , I will test again when you update
You have to install the SQL Server Compact manually, sorry.
See my explanation in CodePlex.

Hi I downloaded and follow your instructions regarding the installation process and got the top half of the error I posted above when I tried starting the apps also no icon was installed in programs menu I tried it on G10 Ultimate 2 v8.40 release today
The icon issue I couldn't check yesterday, will do that asap. Did a lot of research how to deploy SQL Server Compact.
But could you run the app?

No, its not running, when I try runnunig it I get the same error box but only the top half of the message the bottom half is gone.
That makes no sense since allways an explanation of the exception is displayed.
If you installed the SQL Server Compact, can you try to delete the whole SenseTimeTracker folder in the program as well as in the documents directory (if there is one) and reinstall the cab again.
I checked this yesterday on a clean emulator and it worked. So without any further hints I cannot guess the problem.
Are you familar with developing smart device aps. Then I can send you the project for visual studio and you can try to deploy it from within VS. That shall work. Let me know.
I suggest to contact me via pm, I will help you to fix your problem.

Hi, I flashed an orginal HD rom, installed net, sql and then your apps went to programs and started timetracker and it worked, I reflashed a cooked rom did the installation and it also worked I tried entering some information I got some error that require me to restart timetracker one of the error is attached, I will flash G10 rom again as this is my rom of choice and I will let you know how that went
I must say thanks for what I have seen so far if I get it working on G10 rom I will do some more in dept testing.
Thanks again for sharing
Ok, I see, it has nothing to do with your ROM.
I think there is a bug with the categories which only occurs on an empty/fresh database. On my tests I've had everytome a filled one, since I implemented category support later on.
I had some minutes to try it on a fresh installtion. Unfortunatly I cannot reproduce this bug. Can you plz provide more info, what in which order you entered for getting this error. I first created a user which is mandatory. Then created a client, then a project for that client and then a task for that project. Now entering a timecard did work, since the default category ("unknown") was used. The error you've got is a key violation between task and category. This should not occour, but I need to know in what order you entered the data.

Sorry for not replying sooner, I was trying some other roms but no luck getting this app to work on those other roms that I flash, for me its only working on stock and Energy GTX I am presently downloading a 6.5 rom to test all others has been 6.5.x.
I have been able to reproduce the error again and again, try this
Go to category select new and create a new category everything should be ok, create another one and it should crash, also I am unable to edit the category "unknown"
More Crashes
Hi, I did some more test and I got more errors I have attach one picture, let me try to explain
1) If I try to copy the TimCard it crashes
2) TaskName is to long it crahes
I got a couple more crashes but I forgot where in the apps they occour however it seems that is not handling user input error well maybe a dialog box should appear and tell the user that the TaskName is to long or something like that I also think you should try and test if all but most of the option like copy, remove, edit, maybe it my rom related but you could still check just to be sure.
Thx again for the responses.
Couls get it allready run with the other ROMs? I have no opinion about these ROMs. I do not use any special functiuons, it is only .Net-code. The only explanation I have would be that there are problems with drawing. Bit this is done by the SenseUI framework which I cannot modify or debug.
Now to the issues.
The Category issue I could allready fix for me, will update it soon. Dont use categores for the mean while, use only "Unknow". You can change it later when it works. The "Unknow" category should not be editable, I will hide it in the next release.
The issue with the task names beeing too long is a bit more difficult to fix, I'll try to find a solution (need a common one since this will be happen with all inputs).
For the issue with copying a time card, I need a screendum of the error. I use copying of time cards allmost every day and never had problems. So it should be some special in your entries. If I have the error output, I hope to have an idea.

Hi, I have flashed back to my rom of choice as I need it for work, I also used an apps name Pocket Time, I was hoping to get your working as your is mor mordern and has more options, anyway I will be able to test your program again this weekend and I its working for me I will change my rom and start using your apps I like it.
I have attach the detail section or the Task Name error for you to look at also I have attach the error and the error detail section of G10 rom maybe from those pictures you can figrue why it dosent start
The last five is from G10
Thanks
Thx for the dumps.
As I allready wrote, the problem with the length of the description is a common problem. I did know, that it wasn't checked. I will release a new version today (1.3) which supports those checks.
The other problem has something to do with the serialisation/deserialisation of the user settings. These are stored in an XML-file in the application directory. And it seems, that the existing date time format has problems.
Is the language of your G10 ROM a different than the default ROM? I assume, you have created the XML the first time with on ROM and now trying to read it with another on. And the DateTime format of both are different and cannot be parsed.
Try to delete the xml-file in the app directory and start the app again with the G10 ROM. Let me know, if this solved the problem. May be I can then find a solution therefor. If you delete the xml-File, you will be asked for selecting a user. Select you previous eneterd user. If you navigate away from the user panel, you will be asked for the password you entered previously.
If you not allready entered sensitive data, you can send my the database (sdf-file) and the xml-file. Then I can try to debug it. I've had a lokk into the xml-file and saw there are only two time fields where the time is entered as 8:00:00 and 17:00:00. If this format is not valid on your ROM due to another culture, then this may cause the error you posted. What is the usual time format on your country?
Then I have a question according this ROM. The error occurs in Deserialize while reading a DateTime value. I have a try-parse in the deserializing section. So no exception should be thrown by the app. If there is an error in the XML file, defaults are used. I did try this on my device and ti worked that way. So I really do not know, why the exception is thrown. Ist there any special in your ROM handling exceptions?

Hi, I am using the original G10 WWE Ultimate 2 v8.31 rom out of the box in fact all the ROM I have tried this app on has been out of the box, will try flashing and trying your app again this weekend.
Are you using your app on an original stock rom or a cooked rom?
I'm using the app on the updated but original HTC ROM. But it did also work on the nonupdated.
The description of you exception shows me, that the problem has something to do with the localized date time format. What localizaion do you use. And I think you've got it allready running with another ROM. What localization do you have there?
What I totally do not understand, in my opinion there should not be thrown an exception, since serialization is done within a try/catch block. If there is an deserialization error, it should be catched and defaults should be used, which I have testet.

[Q] "Apllication not installed" Error

I guess that would be the Error message translated to English.
Everytime I try to upgrade a programm via the packet manager, I get this Error. It does not occur if I install a new program or if I install/upgrade anything via the market.
With the help of google I found out that I should delete the "smdl2tmp1.asec" on the sdcard, but this file simply does not exist, I even looked for it with the Terminal emu as su.
Also I changed the install options from external to automatic, doesn't help either.
My ROM is CM7.0.3
Any ideas how to fix this?
Is it possible to get an error message that is a little more helpful?
Thanks in advance
(I can actually just uninstall the application and then install the new version, but that way I lose all my settings, which is rather annoying)
