you can use my script cabdump, to extract the cabfile contents, and then cabwiz ( from microsoft ) to put it back into cabfrom again.

RAR extention

I am new to this site aswell as other sites. It seems that everyone seems to reference this site the most. I am trying to down load a file that has the RAR ext. Cant seem to open it and or apply it to my 8125. any help instructions or links would help.
THanks

Get yourself a copy of WinRAR (trial) from http://www.rarlab.com or WinZip (trial) from http://www.winzip.com or 7-Zip (free) from http://www.7-zip.org or ZipGenius (free) from http://www.zipgenius.it - any of those are up to the job (plus a few more if you're prepared to Google for them )

Or you can use pocket rar if you need to do rar and unrar from your pocket pc.

Did everything as above on jaq3.... unfortunately while pie starts and seems to have new zoom feature in menu i cant navigate to any webpages, furthermore other features which seem to use explorer like programs cant be used to view. maybe just on device though dont know

Wow... Awesome, that killed my phone and stuck it in a boot loop... Now I get to restore.

The older version of PIE is much much faster than the current one. My webpage can't scroll smoothly now. How should I rectify that?

[MOD] RSS Hub and choice of browsers

Context
I have read many posts in XDA forums all about making Opera the default browser just for the sake of a more satisfying experience of RSS Hub.
However, making Opera the default browser has some drawbacks:
- download speed of websites: some may prefer Opera Mini for its speed;
- compatibility with other applications: some may require Internet Explorer being default (e.g. Weather Watcher, UpToDate, etc.).
Consequently, XDA-Devs forum member shlomki created a Mortscript-based tweak, which allows to choose among the various browsers (Opera Mini, IE) when clicking e.g. in RSS Hub the "Read on-line" link. Alternatively, it allows you to copy the link to the clipboard. Check here below for the download link (Opera Mini Tweaks zip archive):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2282502&postcount=1
Ok, what's my addition to this ? I have extended the script by adding Opera Mobile as an option and I have made the menu more touch friendly for the Blackstone.
Install procedure
1) Download and install shlomki's tweak "WM6 Opera Mini As Default Browser - With selection dialog" (see link here above) ;
2) Download the revised mscr script (zip archive attached here below) and copy it using Total Commander into the \Windows\ folder.
Regarding the locations of the apps, the script currently supposes that:
- Opera Mobile and IE are installed in the folder \Windows\ ;
- Opera Mini and Jbed are installed in the folder \program files\opera mini\.
Naturally, these folders can be easily changed, i.e. before copying the script into Windows, simply modify the relevent paths with a text editor.
Requirements
- Mortscript.
FAQ
1) Why does Opera Mini only open the app and not directly the URL ?
Answer: The URL has been copied to the clipboard as well. All you need to do is click on the address bar, Insert symbol, then paste the URL - the last step is best done with the paste functionality of FingerKeyboard 2.1. If someone knows an easier way to do this or to paste a URL in Opera Mini without the use of FK, please share your tips here.
2) I want IE back as default browser. What can I do ?
Answer: If you who have difficulties to make IE your default browser again, check out the tweak in the following link:

(without cfc.exe app won't be able to decode mailla images)
2009-09-22
**IF YOU HEVE BEEN HERE PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST SINCE IT IS ALL UPDATED!!!
- "Cab Album" support:
A Cab Album is collected information about many Cab files in one place.
Application will here "create" a new Cab Album by scaning folder. (It is possible to include subfolders in search path.)
Since creating a "Cab album" could be time consuming (depends on how many files it has to scan),
collected information - an "Album" can be saved (in xml structured file).
So next time, you can just use the same information by "loading" a saved album from disk (without scaning again).
Creating album is the process that will
a) detact all *.cab files in scaning folder (and subfolders)
b) for each found cab, program will try to locate "_setup.xml" within .cab file and extract information about real / target file names and paths
c) all information will be collected to memory
After that you will be able to
a) browse an album by cab files (from the tree)
b) browse an album by target file names (also from the tree where these files are grouped an counted)
c) search / filter the album by target file names
Also you can
a) click on "save" icon to save the album.
b) double click on cab file (lef side - tree) to open separate window tith that cab info
c) double click on file on the right side to extract it on disk
2009-09-21
- new version suports drag & drop files (from windows explorer)
- small cosmetic changes
2009-09-19
- first published version
***CHANGE LOG END
DID you ever try to find some fine resource (manila file, bmp for phone skin ... or whatever), which you know you have seen somewhere. And you are sure you got it somewhere on your hard or stick or ....
DID you ever wanted to create a new skin based on a few existing skins in some cab files.
DID you ever ask yourself - what will that XY.cab install on my device? Will it remove parst of my customization that I don't want to be changed?
In case you didn't this app is probably NOT for you.
But if you DID then you probably know that
a) most cab extractors will NOT extract files with the correct filenames on your hard disk.
Instead of some "5acc5861_manila" that will be installed on your device, what you get on your pc is some file named "0CABA635.001".
The real target file name "5acc5861_manila" is actually set in _setup,xml which is part of cab file for mobile device.
b) it is hard to find all "5acc5861_manila" resources on your hard disk without decompression of all cab files, and fixing a problem described before - see a
What do you think about a new point of view - an "Album" view.
Album view will help you to "scan" your hard disk folders, searching for cab files, extacting information from them (without extracting cab files on disk), and collecting all important information in one Album list.
That's not all.
Since "scanning" or building an album could be time consuming, you can "save" the album (xml file structure) so next time you just open existing album and you got all information very quick.
You can search albums - for example "Assets*.bmp" will find all files located in album containing dialer skins.
With another few clicks you can extract found files on disk and use you favourite tools to view or edit them.
Prease note tha this application is extended version of
"[APP][v2009-09-17] Cab utility - RENAME cab content/files to normal target names" located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561533
Requirements: .NET framework 3.5 on your PC
BTW: If someone know some good .NET library for converting / previewing or updating _manila files please do let me know.
Also if someone would like to use some of functionality of this app in other projects ... I will be glad if I can help providing details about my libraries.
I hope you'll like it...

Weeeeeeeeeeell

Awesome thank you!

UPDATE
Missing drag & drop support was anoying, so I add it to v2009-09-21.
You can find / download new version in fist post

Yes in some systems you can get this error. On my laptop I have no problems but on my home PC I had exat the same error.
What I did to solve this problem is to replace version of CabLib, and also I put 2 dlls in the same folder where is application.
You can find CabLibFix in additional attachment in first post. Just put those files in the same directory (replace existing CabLib + additional 2 new files).
Please do let me know if that helps

Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib
Please note that v2009-09-22 should fix problems with error "Could not load file or assembly 'Cablib.." on some systems.
"FIx files" are included in that version, so I removed "fix..." archive.
However if you still have problems please do let me know,
thanks

v2009-09-22
v2009-09-22 works like a charm.
Thank you again

v2009-09-23 now has image / text preview + info about manila type of file (xml, SQLite, Lua_Script, Mode_9 ...)
Also you preview manila IMAGE files (decoded using cfc.exe to png)
The only inconvinience is that I manage to hardcode path to cfc.exe ( "c:\windows\cfc.exe").
Sory!

Error on win64 with an 'any CPU' build
Hi
We are using your CabLib.dll v2009-09-23 to load cab files inside our c# application. It works really well, except for one case.
When we build the application for target 'any cpu' and then install on a windows xp64 machine, we get an error message:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
File name: 'CabLib, Version=10.3.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5c838b77b53f84a0'
Everything works fine when we change the target to 'x86', but that then causes problems with our test suite. The 'Any CPU' build only fails in x64 machines.
I was wondering how you build your DLL and if you have any ideas to help us fix this problem.
Here's my config:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
Version 9.0.30729.1 SP
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 3.5 SP1
The build and test is on an xp64 SP2 machine.
-- update --
I've also found that aiCabExplorer.exe has the same problem on my win64 machine. I see you are including the 32 bit C run time DLL's which you provide in the release - that appears to be the problem, as the OS is trying to dynamically link against the 64 bit version of MSCOREE.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, OLE32.DLL and OLEAUT32.DLL and doesn't like mixing them up.
So the solution, I think, is for you to build without explicit dependencies on the 32 bit libraries. Is there any chance of getting a version like that?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
I use this app all the time.
Super duper.
