I have made s script which installs all files in my Install-Directory of my SD-Card. The script is based on nscriptm and invoked automatically after HardReset.
It installs silently all CAB-Files, Reg-Settings in REG-Files, a TSK-File.
It copys all wanted files automatically from the SD-Card to the PocketPC (e.g. for the Windows-Folder, etc).
It deletes wanted files from the Pocketpc.
It copies Shortcuts.
So a complete new Install lasts only a few minutes. Great for testing.
Now I am searching an unzip/unrar/uncompress/... - Tool which can be invoked from the command-line with additional parameters to uncompress all Install-Files on the SD-Card.
Anyone knows ?
Sounds like an excellent idea. Can you share your script? Sorry I do not know of a zip utility. All installs on cab files are already compressed though.
Doed Pocket WinRar will do the job?
I also would love to try it...
Very good idea
This sounds like a great idea.
No, Winrar is only with GUI. No Commandline. Have searched for days.
CAB-Files are not Compressed I think. Only the EXE-Files containig the CAB-Files for Install on PC are compressed.
Please HELP !
I have made an extended ROM which runs my script now automatically.
If you want it send me PM.
I have also been searching the net for a compresion tool that runs from the command line, but with no luck.

Hi axbl, would be happy to test your script, email is [email protected]
Hi axbl,
Could you please also post me a copy of your ROM / Script ?
Many Thanks,

Has anyone heard from axbl? While waiting in vain, I decided to give this a shot and see how far I go along scripting my installs. I find the nscriptm tool to be very capable but still I am stuck in a few areas which axbl seems to have excelled based on the initial post.
How can one trigger a cab file install and make it a silent install? I am using the Shellwait("") command to trigger the cab file installs one after the other but those that require input are causing an issue.
Next I have tried automating the response to those user input prompts (i.e YES / NO etc) but I am having trouble catching the window handle of the prompts and then using the Sendkey command.
Thanks in advance for all the help. Regards
I use the software call Autoconfig.exe which is included in O2 Asia ROM.
The Autoconfig.exe will read Autoconfig.txt file and execute according to the command line in the file.
The command line is exactly the same as Config.txt
[.......] <---- Section to be selected
CPY1: <---- copy from
CPY2: <---- copy to
EXEC: <---- Execute Program
CAB: <---- Install .cab file
RST: Reset <---- Soft Reset
I can do what I need about 80%. I say 80% is because after this process ended. I still need to put in name/pasword to all of those s/w or else it will still be trial version.
no more?
so any update in this topic??
....pls

hi, if you create an xml file or a cab (need winCE cab manager) you can add all the registry details you need to register your program...but you have to search your registry to find those details.
Yes, I can do it while ago.
The post I did was a year ago. At that time, I didn't know how to do it.
Thanks anyway.

Pls can u share the script with us it would be a great help for all of us.
thx in advance

You don't have to ask that guy. He'd never come back.
It's not that difficult to do. You need to know how to build CAB file by using WinCE CAB Manager. Then, put those REG, TSK, EXE, File, etc. into your built CAB file. By using (Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt) or (Autorun and ExtROM via \2577 folder), You can install any CAB files into the system after Hard Reset.
ok
could you pls post the files to do it?
(Autorun and Config.txt) or (Autoconfig.exe and Autoconfig.txt)
if possible?
I wanted to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file. How can I do it? I wanted to extract the CAB file for easy installation without running it from my computer.

Very easy,
launch the executable from your pc without the ppc connected to the pc.
Activesync will be launched, it will try to connect to the device and will say that the application will be installed next time the ppc will connect.
Go into c:\program files\microsoft activesync\[application]
you will get your cab file
Then
go into registry HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AutoStartOnConnect
and remove the value : CEAppMgr
Cheers,
.Fred

Since the executable is a PC application, I don't think you can except if you know exactly where the cab file begins and ends in the setup. I think the simpliest thing to do is what I mentioned.

CAB extract
you can also extract CAB files from EXEs using WinRar.
Just right click on the A.EXE file and you will see *extract* (if you don't see this option, then you can't extract the file - I had this problem with MS Voice Command 1.6)
Once the A.EXE has been extracted to your desired folder on the desktop PC, you can then find the CAB file and simply copy this to your PPC (without having to use anything like ActiveSync or installing any software on to your desktop PC). Run the CAB file on your PPC to install.
I hope the above helps!

or you can run the exe with the ppc connected ,make sure that you have a sd card in the device.the promp comes up asking were you want to install the app, do nothing,got start, file explorer and browse to; windows\appmgr [in the ppc] and your cab file will be there in a folder,simply copy to another location.then go back and cancel the installation
just a thought, the ppc application might be installed in its own folder in program files not necessarily the activesync folder so u'd find the cab file there..
I always extract files from a CAB file with WinCE CAB Manager to make the installation easier and make the application install to Whichever folder I want.But some files of the applications must be put into some folders,such as \Windows,\Appliction Data.And I will know what the installaion do to the registry.
I found it impossible to extract a CAB file from a windows .exe file on PPC,and extract files from a CAB file without installation on PPC is also impossible.
Howto extract Cab. file from EXẸ file in linux

Just use the cabextract utility.
I can not extract EXE file by using cabextract
I try cabextract tool, but this tool only extract .CAB file, it can not use for extract .EXE file. What I want is a tool in linux can extract an windows .EXE install file to .CAB file so that I can install ppc software directly from my linux machine. Any suggestion? THX advanced.
extract PPC CAB in Linux
It's not a 100% pure Linux solution, but this works for me. I have tested this on my Edgy Eft Ubuntu box. I don't know if it will be the same on Fedora, but it should be similar.
Get the latest Wine install from winehq.org. I got rid of my old .wine folder to make sure I was using a clean install, so you shouldn't have to do any additional installs or tweaks to wine.
Disclaimer: Don't expect this to work for actual syncing, only for getting the CAB files.
Get a copy of ActiveSync and install it under wine. I tried versions 3.0 and 4.2 and both worked. The version 4.2 installer failed at the end trying to update some USB drivers, but the files were all there and worked.
Again using wine, run your PPC installer program that you want the CAB from.
Like earlier posts in this thread pointed out, the CABS should end up in a subfolder of C:/Program Files/Microsoft ActiveSync. On my system, these are under my .wine/drive_c folder.
Good luck,
Andy
thank you Andy,
I will try in my fedora and post the result as well.
OK, I saw cab files it in ./wine/Microsoft Activesync folder. Thank again Andy.
extract .cab in linux -
synce.org , orange tools
gerisgame -- I'm glad it worked for you! If you don't mind compiling from source, the Orange tools kevit specified work without all the Wine/ActiveSync business.
kevit -- Thanks for your comment about Orange tools. I had been over at the synce.org but never saw them.
Once I had the right libraries, they built cleanly and work like a charm on the files I've tried.
Andy
Orange and synce
Thank you both Kevit and Andy, I will try that way. If it works, it is more straight and better way.
I try Orange tool in my fedora laptop, but it does not work, belows is my command line:
[[email protected] Pocket2005]$ orange pqdvd.exe
-------
0 files
I can not find a documentation for orange tool, pls help. THX
I thought that pqDVD was a regular desktop application.
If so, orange tools probably won't help. pqDVD may install and run under wine, though.

Tools you need:
===============
- HexWorkshop from http://www.bpsoft.com/downloads/-
the ROM of your choice
- Winzip or Winrar
- a valid UNL file for YOUR phone
Preparation:
============
a) install HexWorkshop and Winzip or Winrar on your pc
b) in explorer on pc, RIGHT click on the ROM of your choice and use: "Extract files to folder ..." from conext menu Now it will unpack all the files
c) in the new folder you will have ONE file like "HRUU_signed.NBH" (*.NBH) RIGHT click on the .NBH file and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from context menu
d) You'll see on the 5th row EXCA20000 ==> !!! make it EXCA***** (5 stars) and save the file
e) Now RIGHT click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe and use: "Hex Edit with Hex Workshop" from conext menu
Search for word "BsaD5SeoA" (without quotes, case sensitive)
You'll find it around address 0x3FC6C ==> !!! replace "BsaD5SeoA" with "IMEICHECK" (without quotes) and save the file
ROM-Update:
===========
1) take SIM card and SD card OUT of the phone
2) Connect the phone running windows ce to the pc (normal way).
3) Completely Unlock your phone using our unlocker <== REALLY IMPORTANT
4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!
5) After you closed the unlocker, attach usb cable again (phone has still white screen) 6) start (the modified) ROMUpdateUtility.exe
7) when update finished and device started you will get a message: "Data Crashed, contact service provider" (!NO PANIC!) ==> Simply fix this problem by running the unlocker again and this time select the key file normal way (full unlock process again). In case you have problems please indicate the step letter/number which is not clear/not working for you. If you REALLY do it STEP by STEP exact like described you will have no problem.
a thousand thanks to IMEI-CHECK~!!

http://rapidshare.com/files/18907427/RUU_signed.nbh
just unzip the rom you downloaded and replace these two files
It says update utility is too old now.
I read the instructions again and now it worked.
Thanks for the help.
OMFG it worked on my S620! Thanks IMEICHECK!
Nice interface, and you can sync files now!
i tried this several times with no luck. i downloaded the two files and when i tried to run the romupdater prog nothing happens. the program will not start no matter how many times i try. any suggestions?
i think i got it to work now. i had downloaded the two files but had not copied them into the folder that had the extracted rom in it. i was getting stuck at the point where you pull cable out instead of selecting the unlock file. once i had already copied the files over i started all over again and when i got to the step where you disconnect and run the new romupgrade.exe i opened the file where the rom was and clicked the upgrade.exe file and the rest went very smooth and quick.
thanks to everyone that helped out!
but the beta rom is indeed unstable. i hope the final version will soon out!!
james_xl: what problems do you have with the rom?
"4) After phone is unlocked run unlocker (again) BUT when the unlocker ask for UNL file, remove the USB cable from the phone THEN press "Cancel" on the unlocker select file window (unlocker will close on PC). NOTE: The screen on the device will not show something usefull when in this mode. Most probably it is complete WHITE. !!THIS IS NORMAL!! Don't touch phone, let it like it is!"
I've been looking, but where is the unlocker program?
Hello,
you'll get the unlocker program with your imei-unlock-file from imei-check.co.uk.

Hi,
I have searched and searched for the answer to this but can someone please help.
have downloaded some add on's, the dir includes the _setup.xml file which i believe i have to change to a cab file using makecab.exe, i have done this and copied the cab and all the other files on to the device and tried to run the cab but always get, their has been an error, the cab can not be installed. Tried it with several programs, all give same error.
Only thing I wonderd is if the makecab is the same for 2005 as it is for mobile 2006 ??
or am i going about this totally the wrong way, any help MUCH MUCH appreciated.
i use makecab comed with my winxp ( the one used to create cab for your pc)
in a dos prompt and never had a problem..
maybe you could have wrong sintax inside your xml file..
anyway here is the command I use
makecab /D COMPRESS=OFF _setup.xml whatevername.cab
they all work on my hermes.
Bye
Thanks for that, i was not using the -d setting but still gives me same problem.
I am trying to install Schapps Operator settings program, do makecab /D compress=off _setup.xml setup.cab
copy this and all the other files in one directory to the storage card of the phone and run the setup.cab, goes to ask me wher ei want to sotre it, i select device then it says "Schaps operator setup cannot be installed', this is the same with another program i try to install.
Arrrrgggghhh !!!!
wait a moment.. what you mean when you say program?
with this command you can only "store" an XML file into a cab file.
This xml should be something simple like a provisioning xml file not
a program.
To create a cab file to install a program you need a different tool
(something like wince cab manager), more complete and powerful.
Ciao

Same problem here and it use to work for me..maybe its windows 7 i dunno
I have searched the tforum and not found an answer.
i have installed Miri's 6.5 rom, and cant get a java jar or jad file to work, keeps telling me there is no application set for this file type, so how ccan i rectify this, i have tried downloading the esmertec jbad 20081203.1.2.zip, which im guessing would cure it.
but what do i do after i have tis file on my pc hdd, i have tried coping it to the mem card then extracting it, still no joy.
does anyone know of a java cab file.
if not could someone give me instructions (idiots guide version) on how to get this esmertec one to work.
much thanks
Gh! If it is *.zip file you must open it and see what is inside:
1- *.cab file: copy this *.cab on PPC and install it (tap on the file)
2- *.exe file: Sync the device then you must extract the file on PC e 2clicks on it by PC (follow the istructions)
If it is a *.cab see point nr 1)
