Does anyone have an up to date cab file for live search? My old cab just says unsuccessful when I try to install on the HD. I tried to get the new one from MS but it only appears to be available over the air to US phone numbers.

I installed the updated .cab for Live & Messenger and now live is unable to connect to the internet?? Think the problem has something to do with the istall not completing, it says it does not have permissions to complete the install?? i had to reload my whole device before, any one got any ideas???
Cheers KB!
Hey everyone, this is my first post here so I'm not entirely sure this is the right place to pose this question. Earlier today, I made the decision to upgrade my Dash to WinMobile 6.1 using the resources here at this forum. The upgrade went nearly flawlessly with the excption that I need to copy the correct keyboard settings cab file still. However, I'm unable to do that because of Activesync.
I had 4.2 installed on my laptop and it never gave me any problems. Unfortunately, the phone displayed a message that I needed to upgrade to 4.5 in order to connect to the PC using Activesync. I downloaded the file from Microsoft's website and tried to run the install program. After clicking the "install" prompt, I get the following error message: "The System Cannot Open the Device or File Specified" Retry or Cancel. Retry gets me no where. I have spent at least 5 hours not trying to find a solution to this problem including a LOT of searching on Google, here, Microsoft's site and other places. NOTHING. I've seen a couple of references to this problem but no definitive solution to the problem.
A few things I have tried: Disable Firewall; uninstall Activesync 4.2 (curiously, after using the Add/Remove Program tool in the Control Paner, there was still an Activesync folder and dozens of files on my hard drive...I manually deleted as many of these as I could); Ran a file called "fixmapi.exe"; and I downloaded the upgrade file from multiple sources, all of which were suggestions I came across during the day.
I'm sooo frustrated because I can't update the keyboard map, I cant synchronize the hundreds of contacts and calendar items I have in Outlook, the phone feels completely useless to me at the moment and I cant believe that this is such an unusual problem (which is my conclusion based on such a complete lack of guidance on this issue).
anything anyone can offer will be HUGELY appreciated!
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
So I had been doing some searching and can't seem to find my answer, so here is my question. I have downloaded both mobilefox 2.0.0.7 and Fennec. I can unzip the programs but when I try to load them on either of my phones, Vogue and Raphael, I get the same error message " 'startmobilefirefox' is not a valid Pocket PC application." I have unzipped it on the phones and on my computer (then transferred it over) and I still get the same message. Am I doing something wrong?
Sounds like you might have the wrong files. The WinMo files should be packaged as a cab file and once transferred to the phone will trigger the installer on the phone.
When I checked the Mozilla ftp site, they had builds for a number of different platforms. Look for the .cab ones.
I was able to find a Fennec Cab file when searching on google. Fennec is only good for the HTC phones that have a Keypad. It doesnt work on my Vogue but it does work on my Raphael. Only issue is that now that my wife and I have tried it out, its not working properly. It takes about 1 min for it to pull up and run but, when I try to load a website it doesnt load any pages. All of this is only due to myspace wont load on any other browser on her phone. Time to see if I can find another browser that will allow her to get on myspace.

skyfire should load it.
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.

Well yeah what's weird is that I never had to use that to get any of those apps installed
