Perhaps Microsoft may be still fine-tuning the customisation of the WMP10 mobile configurations for different devices?
It's not a simple hack. I've tried a couple of times, and i end up 1st having to hard-reset and subsequently having a very slow device.
Still testing the files and registry combination. Very very slow process, so I hope someone can crack the pot first.
Anyone else have any luck with extracting the WMP10 cab?

Haven't seen anyone mention it here.
The WM6 SDK with emulator images is out since 2 weeks
Download it directly from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3a-a651-4745-88ef-3d48091a390b&DisplayLang=en
what exactly is this? they will have 2 versions of wm6? pro and standard?

Pro = PPC
Standard = Smartphone
Does anyone know how to run our own custom cooked images in this emulator? Seems to me it would speed up the cooking process if I could just build the rom and run it in the emulator. I saw some posts on this forum asking this very same question a while back. Now that we have a WM6 capable emulator I think it is time to wake this idea up.

That would be interesting, it could save alot of people from killing their ppc's when trying new stuff .... But I don't think it's possible
Somebody pls say I'm wrong
Actually Professional is Pocket PC Phone Edition and Classic is Pocket PC.

Perhaps also handy to post this in one of the General Discussion threads, like Development and Hacking.
I'm downloading the software now, I'll post the results later on.

If you refering to cooked rom's... I think you're right. As far as I know is not possible to install a cooked rom in a emulator.
Loading a cooked rom is indeed not possible, but it's a very handy app. to test software (and perhaps some one wil find a way to get another ROM loaded).
I have been able to test the Dutch MUI for HTC Album on a WM 6 emulated device, Still playing around with it, if you want more info check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa188174.aspx, there you can read al about how-to use it. Have fun
Has anyone tried it yet?

I saw this posted elsewhere and tried to sign up, but they have already stopped new applications
Would love to try it on my Wizard though. Opera is fine for me on the Universal, but anything less than VGA would benefit from something like this.

Oh, and doesn't posting this break the rules????
@Griffy wiffy Thanks for posting the cab-file and the code
So far Deepfish works smnooth and offers a nice idea on browsing the internet on a ppc but in its early development stage it's not useful for daily purpose, but shouldn't take long until we have a good alternative for surfing the web
I guess that the posted cab is for pocket PC? Any chance anyone is willing to post the smartphone version?
"As a technology preview, Deepfish is early in its development cycle (still a few releases from beta quality). As a result some features are not implemented or are only partially implemented. Currently, the technology preview does not support ActiveX controls, AJAX, cookies, Javascript, and HTTP POST."
PUKE... I don't get how its worth browsing with???? no cookies??? no java??? I think i'll wait till final release
this is very nice idea, it is useful right now, it looks a lot like I already saw on some Nokia phones, E series. I'm wandering why is not freely available for download, is money the only thing that drives M$ !?
Does anyone know if this works on WM6. I've tried installing this and it says its successful but there is no new program installed nor any shortcut icons>
Any ideas
seem the activation code was blocked

Guess it doesn't work for WM2003SE?

It won't and I don't think WM2003(SE) support will ever be released. The platform is being ntirely phased out; for exmaple, NetFront 3.4 and Minimo 0.2 don't support it either.
So I decided to use the 004 kitchen and put Office 2007 in my BE ROM. Guess what? All programs work fine until you try to activate the calendar or contacts softkey while the program is minimized (any of them), then a dialog box pops up and says "calendar is not a valid Pocket PC application". Close out the Office apps. and things go back to normal? Keep in mind I did pull 2007 from the 1413 build to use in the 968 build, so I'm wondering what could be up and if anyone has seen something like this before.
I'm not seeing this with my rom. I pulled the Office 2007 out of the Pandora's Kitchen and deleted the Office dirs completely in Farias, then put these in. Also modified the options.xml in the sys folder to have the correct values for the dsm files.
Mfrazzz's approach is definitely the path of least resistance. Awhile ago nottoosmart posted regarding issues with porting Office 2007, and I posted a cab-fix I got from the hermes forum. I assume he used it to adapt 2007 into the Pandora kitchen. If you're the "do-it-yourself" type, let me know and I'll send you the cab-fix as well.
Best wishes,

I should have mentioned that I integrated your cabfix into the Office 2007 I pulled off of Pandora's Kitchen. I was getting various errors until I did that so just put it directly into the Office directory and added the registry entries into the bottom of the office .rgu that were all in that cab you provided.
Anyone noticed if the problem is still residing in the Pandora Kitchen? I haven't seen this - and haven't directly addressed it. I don't know if nottoosmart added the fix. Just curious...
:S
I now that office2k7 is deply wired into de OS, however i been wondering if if there is a way to "install office 2k7" into an already flashed devices with office2003 ??

I would like to integrate M$ Office Communicator into a ROM but I am struggling converting the original .cab file into a working package....
I have extracted the contents of the .cab file and created a .rgu and initflashfiles.txt files. The files get installed and it will run but I can't get the Today Screen stuff to display. I know there is a conflict with the 'rtcdll.dll' file since if you have VoIP then it already exists, however I am cooking the rom without VoIP (since it doesn't fully work). I have modified the .rgu to reflect the files are now in \Windows but the Today Screen stuff won't display. I have checked the registry entries and the files are there after the ROM has been installed and they are?
I don't know what else to look for, has anybody got any pointers
I can post the .cab if anyone can help?

Any success?
Any success with making a package from this? I had another play around but didn't get anywhere. I think the installation must create some additional files and/or registry changes that doesn't happen when it's installed as a package.
Do any ROMs have this in by default? i.e. not cooked ones but ROMs released by mobile operators or manufacurers? Maybe backward engineer it?

did u anyways get the communicator to work on ur company network? my company has got vpn and web access to the communcator and i did install it once.. after i put in the server address and signin name and password, it shows loging in and then it throws a stupid error saying please use updated version of communicator. contact system administrator. i downloaded the 2007 version of mobile communicator and beyond it there re no updates.. damn the m$ idiots.. any ideas for a workaround? this same communicator ersion runs on the blackberrys given to seniors by our company

I did have it working briefly, however I am not privileged enough to have GPRS enabled on my company SIM so I only managed to test it when I temporarily rigged a Wireless AP up in the office. We were only trialing OCS at the time, however I think we now have it installed but isn't fully rolled out yet.
I spend very little time actually in the office so unless I can be bothered setting up a few VM machines with Exchange & OCS on I am unlikely to test it further...
I never managed to get it into an OEM package either, if anyone has one or wants to build one that would be good....
The latest version seems to be Office Communicator Mobile 2007 (2.0.387.0) from September 2007 and it says it is compatible with OCS 2007:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...24-F216-4887-92B0-F37D942E26E0&displaylang=en
This is a Windows Mobile 5/6 version and there is a (Smart)Phone version as well.

Update OCS
I know this is old but you need to disable the client version filter on OCS. If you're connecting over the internet, then you need to do this on your Access Edge server (under Application properties). Just lower the version to 2.0.1.0 and you should be good to go. M$ hasn't released a later version even as of this post (unless you know something I don't). I asked them about it and they know (sounds like a new version is being worked out).

I have no idea where you are going with that answer? This post was originally about making an OEM package of Office Communicator Mobile 2007 for use in a ROM kitchen.....
I have OCM 2007 working fine with our OCS 2007 Server either in the Office on the private network or via the Internet (GPRS or public WiFi). What I want to do is include OCM in my ROM so I don't have to manually install it each time I flash a new ROM. It looks like I am missing one final registry entry but I still haven't found it.

I was just browsing the internet and I came across something VERY interesting... They say it is a standalone WM6 Rom emulator. I don't know whether or not to believe it but I know I can't try it right now. My XP partition is kinda small(40gigs) and my computer really doesn't have the Ram to run Vista anymore since I re-installed Norton 360 but I think this is something that deserves some serious attention here.
If this really works then we could potentially use this to test roms before flashing and hopefully avoid bricks in the future.
PLEASE, someone has to take a look at this...

Nothing new as far as I understand it.
It is about Microsoft emulator (it has its own ROM images).
You can emulate WM 6 on a PC (with MS Visual Studio or a standalone emulator). I guess most of people know that.
*But you cannot emulate your own Wizard ROM*. This was discussed multiple times here...
Mirek
First, thanks for the linkage.
Before the release of the full standalone emulator package, I was able to use the Orcas VS beta release to install, then slide some pieces of the WM6 SDK into a rough "standalone" config. Thought it might be helpful for other folks looking to get some time with WM6 while avoiding any bricking risk to real hardware.
Since the release of the full standalone emulator package, including WM6 emulator ROMs, that linked post/thread doesn't actually mean a whole lot.
I've got some additional items on DEmu 1.0 and 2.0 using both WM5 and WM6, which can be found here:
http://www.chrisrue.com/funcave/2006/06/wm5-device-emulator-index.html
http://www.chrisrue.com/funcave/2007/03/device-emulator-v2-index.html
As stated already, the standalone emulator package doesn't really offer any benefits for cooking or testing hardware specific ROMs.
And many MANY thanks to the amazing technicolor pool of genius here at xda-developers. You've saved my bacon more times than I can count. So thanks for that!
