Hey people on the board!
I'm a relative newbie in this PDA-stuff so I have a question which perhaps (hopefully) is easy to answer. Problem:
I have an application which I run on my Qtek 1010. The application runs fine, but prior to using it, a significant amount of time must be spent on installing and configuring it. In case of battery-faliure, this needs to be done from scratch. I would therefore like the Qtek to execute a script-like file (autorun.exe) which performs this task, immediately after booting.. The file is present on a flash-card inserted in the slot. How do I do this? Where - on the card - do I place the file? In the root? And how do I detect it and run it automatically after a cold-boot?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx!

Its quite simple
Hi there, your problem to fix is quite easy.
If you look in in your windows directory with the built-in explorer, you'll find a directory - either "startUp" or "Autostart" depends on the system language you are using. Here you put a link to the program you're having on card. With every cold- or warm boot it will be executed. :lol:
regards
cimber
On the memory card make a directory named 2577, I believe the pocket pc will look here for your autostart on boot, try it and see. You can try putting a cab file in there or your autostart config file. I am not an expert in this but thats how its done with ipaq navigation system which is an automatic routine using the 2577 directory and I have also seen other software using the same method.
the file should be called 'autorun.exe' in the '\storage card\2577\' directory.
when you insert the card, the autorun.exe will be copied to \windows, and executed with 'install' as parameter.
when you remove the card, it will get executed with 'uninstall' as parameter.
and then removed from \windows.
but this will not nescesarily happen at boot.
just figured out another thing: the number you put in the .lnk file in \windows\startup is completely ignored by windows.
also, if the executable is in \windows, you may omit the path,
you may also omit the extension if it is .exe.
if you specify commandline parameters, your application will get passed upto 255 characters starting from the first non-whitespace character after the executable name.and including any newlines that may be in the file.
Hi!
Thanks for the response. I'll give the methods a try during the day and get back.
Thanks so far - I appreciate it

Hi there (again)!
I have tried the different suggestions with no luck. Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. What I actually need is to have the autorun.exe run (install) a number of cab-files also on the flash-card. I was - perhaps naively - thinking that there would be a generic tool out there to create this type of autorun.exe file? I am looking for something along the lines of what is being done here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=508&highlight=autorun
Only, in the case above, the autorun.exe lauches a specific .cab-file which contains a ROM for the PDA.
Is there a "configurable" .cab-installing autorun.exe out there somewhere? Or should it be written from scratch every time for new purposes?
Hope I make myself clear
/Joe72
yes, it is in the extended rom, processing the config.txt file.
eeeh, but the location of the config.txt is taken from the registry, which is currently always set to \extended_rom\config.txt.

Could you explain that to me in more detail, please? As I mentioned, I am a relative newcomer in this Xda stuff Thanks..
/Joe72
what you are asking for is the autorun.exe found in the extended rom,
look for 'extended rom batch language' on the forum for details.
problem is that the autorun.exe from the extended rom uses the config.txt
pointed to by the "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm] AutoRunCfg" registry value. which always is '\Extended_ROM\Config.txt"
what you could do, is change the 'autoruncfg' string in the autorun.exe binary in to something else. and then fill your own config.txt path in that registry value.
Thanks - that sounds like the way to do it. I guess I would copy the original config.txt, add my .cab-files, put it on the flash-card and then change the key in the registry to point to the card. Is that how it would go?
Now another stupid question: How do I access the registry? There is apparently no regedit.exe like on my desktop?

Managed to access the registry using Windows CE Remote Registry Editor. But whooops.. After a cold boot, the registry is reset to factory settings?! Hence my changes of the path to config.txt are also lost..? What to do?

Hi all,
I just sucessfully installed big storage on my O2 mini and was wondering how i can change the default directory to which my software installs. The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...
Help please....
help
you can only whether you want to install a program to a default location, storage or a storage card. it will ask you in the beginning of installation by ActiveSync. choose NO and install sonewhere else.. gl
Still no luck....
Unfortunately, this particular program does not use the active sync user interface for the installation....
Any other methods?
i saw a shareware program on the forums once that did that... wish i downloaded it then cause i cant find it again sorry .. thought id let you know its out there though.....
aidil916 - unless it's some kind of ROM update etc, anything that gets installed on the PPC must always use a cab file, even on PC based install. So, start the install, and does add/remove programs or something come up?
Either way, if it installs something to the PPC (i've no idea how the arabizer works), interrupt the installation or somehow stall it. Then use a program like Filetracer or even the XP search tool to find any cabs installed to your pc in the last few minutes. Track down the cab (usually in your temp folder, programs folder or activesync folder) and then take a backup copy of the cab. Then, copy that to your PPC..
Tell me how it goes.

Usually when you perform PC-based installation software asks you for target location but some programs are hard-coded with "\Program Files\ProgramName" path so they will fail to work if you place them to another locations, i.e. to Storage Card
For programs that don't allow you to change target location you can change their registry entries to correct their path from "\Program Files\" to "\Storage Card\Program Files\". Here you will also need to manually move your program to a new location (SD) using Explorer's copy-&-paste functions
ps: don't use cut-&-paste because some of your programs may be running and this will cause sharing violation errors
Example, I have program "ABC" installed at "\Program Files\ABC" folder.
1) Using Explorer I navigate to "\Program Files" and COPY "ABC" folder to clipboard
2) Now I navigate to "\Storage Card" and create folder "Program Files"
3) I open newly created folder "\Storage Card\Program Files" and PASTE my "ABC" folder from clipboard here
4) Using Registry Editors I search for "\Program Files\ABC" entries and change them to "\Storage Card\Program Files\ABC"
5) I do soft-reset. If after that program works Ok, I delete "\Program Files\ABC"
The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...

Check your activesync's installation location. You will find the cab file within Software name or company folder, like "C:\program files\microsoft activesync\ABC"

There are 3 methods i use,
1st is download the CAB file if you can, copy to your PPC and install with a program called CAB Install http://www.s-k-tools.com/fp/viewtopic.php?t=44 which allows you to install the app anywhere you want.
2nd is to run the standard ??.exe PC installation file but without your PPC pluged in. After the ??.exe install file is finished it will normally produces a CAB file on your PC which will copy across to your PPC next time you plug it in. All you need to is to find the CAB file and manually copy it to your PPC and use CAB Install.
The 3rd way is to do the same as 2 above and then use an app called WinCE CAB manager which you can generally modify the CAB files standard installation directory to what ever you want to.
Hope this helps
Most software including PC based installs eventually use CAB files. For this I use a small program CabInstl.
Hello! if you create in \TomTom\SdkRegistry\ 2 files called, for example, mortplayer.bmp and mortplayer.cap, and edit this with notepad as follow:
AppName|MortPlayer.exe|
AppPath|\Scheda di memoria\Mort's MortPlayer\|
AppbmpnFile|mortplayer.bmp|
AppMainTitle|Avvia MortPlayer|
COMMAND|CMD||mortplayer.bmp|MortPlayer|
Tomtom will show a 4th menu with your bmp (72x48, 24 bit, 72dpi) and the link to the application.
Now i want to insert a link to VJDialer and dial a number with one click.
Here is, for example, the code:
AppName|VJDialer.exe 0123456789|
AppPath|\Storage\|
AppbmpnFile|vjdialer.bmp|
AppMainTitle|Avvia VJDialer|
COMMAND|CMD||vjdialer.bmp|FRIEND_NAME|
Now... this method does not work.
Vijay Help ME! can i do this?
I halso have tried to create a link to vjdialer, put it into sdkregistry dir, and execute it from .cap file:
AppName|VJDialer.lnk|
AppPath|\TomTom\SdkRegistry\|
AppbmpnFile|vjdialer.bmp|
AppMainTitle|Avvia VJDialer|
COMMAND|CMD||vjdialer.bmp|Friend|
and
AppName|VJDialer.lnk|
AppPath|\Storage\|
AppbmpnFile|vjdialer.bmp|
AppMainTitle|Avvia VJDialer|
COMMAND|CMD||vjdialer.bmp|Friend|
But with no results.
SkizZO: I'm afraid I don't use TomTom (find the poll I'm running to decide if I should buy the Mio with built in GPS!).
However, check your .lnk file. If it launches correctly when run, then I would try copying it into your MortPlayer folder, and editing the entry you know works for mortplayer, and just make it launch your VJDialer.lnk instead (since you know the other settings work).
Perhaps TomTom can't run command lines? That'd be a pain and require some thinking about?
This wasn't too helpful:
http://www.opentom.org/Menu_structure

You can't use links and you can't use parameters....
You can only start a exe file, that's it...
What you could do :
- Create a mortscriptfile TTdial.mscr
run vjdialer.exe 0123456789
make a copy of the autorun.exe that comes with mortscript, rename it TTdial.exe
Make the .CAP file as you wish and make it run TTdial.exe
The mortscript autorun.exe always starts a .mscr scriptfile with the same name, so you can have TTdial1.mscr + TTdial1.exe, TTdial2.mscr + TTdial2.exe etc.
WoW Thnx to aLL!
Hemm... wich is the exact shyntax of the mscr script?
...and.. can i use Onlu Autorun.exe (and autorun.mscr) without install anything?
SkizZO: I've made an app just for you, to make this a lot easier, I hope!
VJBrisk - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50509&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
Basically, setup your VJDialer shortcut, rename it to VJTarget.lnk, and copy the file VJBrisk.exe into the same folder.
Get TomTom to launch VJBrisk, and VJBrisk will launch VJTarget.
Let me know if that makes sense. But the autorun solution is still very neat.
V
oops double post
Thanx for all. In order:
Mortscript works well, the exact shyntax is (in mscr file):
run [PATH]\VJDialer.exe , 0123456789
Thanx vijay, i will try NOW your app.... only a question:
VJbrisk.exe launch only one vjtarget.lnk or just rename it (exe) with the same name of the link to have more than 1 phone link?
(es Vjbrisk1.exe call Vjbrisk1.lnk, Vjbrisk2.exe call VJbrisk2.lnk etc ?
sorry 4 my english
Hi,
I'm using phonealarm. It has an option to run a certain program when a profile is activated. I'd like to run a command which will:
1) delete a file
2) copy a file from the storage card to program files
3) rename this file
What's the best way to achieve this? Cheers...
if it's a console one would expect normal dos cmds to work like this
http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/
Sorry for my ignorance on WinMobile, but that webpage seems to have info only for win9x etc....
as I said if it's a console then one would expect that normal dos commands works
Never mind, fixed with a simple mortscript...
Code:
copy "\storage card\profiles\work.png", "\storage card\profiles\current.png", 1
I feel like a total n00b asking a question like this, but I must know, so I know whether there's something I'm missing.
I have an HTC FUZE (Raphael) device, and I've been dumping Topaz & Rhodium ROMs as I come across them and incorporating the updated packages into my personal ROMs. I started seeing this new program called "RunCC" in the ROMs, and when I looked in the folder at the files, it looks a lot like the Windows Customization that runs after hard-resetting my device where it installs all the stuff the config_operator or config.txt has in it.
Now my question is, is that in fact what RunCC is? An updated method of customization? How do I use it? How I do I stop using my current method (AutoRun?)? Is there some advantage to using RunCC?
I wasn't even sure where to ask this question, but this seemed like the safest bet. Is anyone else wondering this, or am I the only one that doesn't know?
EDIT: Thanks to everyone's help, RunCC is finally working!! Here's what I did to get it working (with UC). NOTE: These instructions apply to using RunCC with VGA devices only!!
1) Make sure you have a runcc.lua file included somewhere. This is what mine looks like:
Code:
chk = oem.checkfileexist("\\windows\\config.txt")
if chk == 1 then
runcc.addrun("RunDefault", "run", "\\windows\\config.txt")
end
chk = oem.checkfileexist("\\Storage Card\\SDConfig.txt")
if chk == 1 then
runcc.addrun("RunExtra", "run", "\\Storage Card\\SDConfig.txt")
end
2) Make sure your RunCC package includes these two files (these are specific for VGA devices):
Code:
RunCC_default_bg_480_640.jpg
RunCC_default_bg_640_480.jpg
3) Make sure you have these reg entries in your app.reg (these are also specific for VGA devices)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\RunCC]
"ProgressImgUnit"=dword:00000001
"ProgressImgTime"=dword:00000003
"ProgressImgPosX"=dword:00000032
"ProgressImgPosY"=dword:0000023A
"ProgressImgLandPosX"=dword:000000F6
"ProgressImgLandPosY"=dword:00000190
4) Make sure you've deleted AutoRun.exe, AutoRun.lnk & CheckAutoRun.exe, CheckAutoRun.lnk from your OEMDrivers, and make sure you delete these lines from your OEMDrivers rgu file:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm]
"AutoRun"="\\Windows\\autorun.exe"
"AutoRunCFG"="\\Windows\\config_operator.txt"
"AutoRunCheckNC"=dword:00000001
5) SDAutoRun should be deleted too, and if you have a line in your config.txt that calls it, that line should be removed. Also, you should remove the "RST: Reset" line from your config.txt. If you want the device to reset after customization is complete, just change this reg entry in the RunCC package:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\RunCC]
"ResetDevice"=dword:00000000 ;CHANGE to dword:00000001
That should get your RunCC working. Report back with feedback!
One important note - If you decide to use RunCC with UC, as indicated above, make SURE that your cabs are set as Read-Only - otherwise they will be deleted from your Storage Card after being installed.
I can answer your last two questions: yes, I've been wondering what it is, but no, I'm not really sure what it is and how it works. It is something that goes during customization, and I've mostly seen Noonski talking about it.

Hm. You're right, that was vague, at best. bengalih seemed to be more defending the use of SASHIMI than really explaining how RunCC works. It appears that Noonski may be the only one that knows anything about RunCC. Maybe I should send him a PM and ask for a comment/explanation of RunCC.
It's just an updated Autorun.exe method from HTC.
Some newer versions even support direct cab installation from SD card by simply adding a config.txt line to the LUA script.
L3V5Y once told me the correct name it should have for that. (Should be posted in the XDA_UC thread)
You don't need it on Raphael, the regular Autorun does it's job well enough and XDA_UC even better
RunCC does have a better Background and loading bar that's pretty easy to customize though, but other then that it is not Needed on Raphael.
The main problem was just that new devices would start using this and it broke SDAutorun compatibility, that should now not be an issue anymore with newer versions. Personally i don't use either RunCC or Autorun anymore and it's made Flashing and especially waiting for being able to use the phone faster.
There might still be some underlying code still unknown at the moment. And with the addition of RunCC.exe being able to actually run files from SD card's it looks like HTC is giving providers more control over extra apps on phone while concentrating on just one Rom for the phones instead of making multiple roms for different providers.
You can step over to RunCC but you would have to remove Autorun.exe, welcome.lnk & CheckAutorunexe/lnk from your rom. And the Autorun registry entries.
So I wanted to try this RunCC out. I deleted AutoRun & CheckAutoRun from my OEMDrivers, and deleted the reg entry that calls AutoRun. Then I included the RunCC Package in my ROM. Only when I cooked the ROM, RunCC didn't run. What did I do wrong? Did I need to change the AutoRUn reg entry to call RunCC.exe instead? Maybe I'll try that this time and see if it works.
RunCC should be called by the HKLM\Init\Launch58 registry entry.
This runs just before the \StartUp items.
It then calls for the RunCC.lua file that has the config files listed to install.
In most Roms the RunCC.lua file is not in the RunCC Package.
RunCC.lua is just text file.

Thanks. That's what I was missing. I also found an interesting discussion of RunCC (as well as some tips to get it working) in the Elf Fourm. See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3425124#post3425124
Now maybe some others can try it and see if it works for them, and if there's any value to using it in place of AutoRun. I guess that means UC doesn't work with RunCC, since it calls AutoRun. There must be a way to make that work, right?
No you can't call Autorun as taking the reset option away from the RUnCC registry settings might result in a Cold boot an it will keep rebooting.
If you check out XDA_UC you'll see that both runcc, SDAutorun & Autorun aren't needed anymore.
And you can then even speed the proces up by using .xdas files wich are basicly ip files being unzipped by Mortscript. A lot faster then using cabs.
It was that conversation in the cooking class, that got me into looking into RunCC and getting it to work with SDAutorun
back from the dead
I figured I'd resurrect this thread, as I finally got RunCC working on my Fuze.
But now I have a few questions about doing more with it:
What do the various commands in runcc.lua do? I currently am using only a config.txt for customization, and am using the "RunDefault" command to execute it. I noticed (before deleting the other info in the file) that there were also "RunExtra" & "RunCustomer" commands. What's the difference?
My second question is, would it be possible to call for the execution of an SDConfig.txt file on a Storage Card, if specified by path in both config.txt & runcc.lua? That would mean I wouldn't have to include AutoRun anymore at all, which I would kind of prefer.
Currently, I have it set up so RunCC calls SDAutoRun if I want to use UC, and since SDAutoRun calls AutoRun, I include have to include it in the ROM (though I leave out most of the reg entries for it).
Anyone with some RunCC knowledge want to help me out with these answers?
Captain,
I was able to get my RunCC (running on a Pure) to execute files on my SD card, but I'm not sure if you can add a direct link to SDConfig.txt, but I'm going to try it when I've got some time...
I know you can run files like "XML: \Storage Card\whatever.xml" from within config.txt, so i know you could do a "CFG: \Storage Card\SDConfig.txt" to run it, but the problem here is that if the SDConfig.txt didn't exist it would bomb out, resulting in an endless loop of hard resets...
Optimally, I think we try to edit RunCC.lua to look and see if the SDConfig.txt exists and if so, then it executes it.
I'm not really sure what the differences are in the "RunDefault", "RunCustomer", etc though... I guess it'll take some experimenting...
I think the RunCustomer etc just run in different orders, though some may be able to do things like XMLs/Config text files. I'd just use RunDefault option which seems to work...
i neva tried to but this may work if u add these codes to ur control block
Code:
chk = oem.checkfileexist("\\Storage Card\\UC\\config.txt")
if chk == 1 then
runcc.addrun("RunDefault", "run", "\\Storage Card\\UC\\config.txt")
end
but i use a sort of alternate method. here it is if u wana try it out
0.extract this zip file ur ur SD card:View attachment 242051
1. intall this cab using runCC:View attachment 242050

Glad to see that someone else has these questions also.
I was able to get SDconfig.txt to run from the storage card with this:
Code:
chk = oem.checkfileexist("\\Storage Card\\Sdconfig.txt")
if chk == 1 then
runcc.addrun("RunDefault", "run", "\\Storage Card\\SDconfig.txt")
end
Just make sure you take the reset command out of the SDconfig.txt
Now, what I haven't been able to do is get some of the things in my Sdconfig.txt to work.
Copy Commands don't seem to work. Such as CPY1:\ CPY2:\
Also, anything that requires user intervention doesn't seem to work either. It just seems to skip right over those somehow.
If someone has some answers, I would like some help also.

Nice. I kind of thought that would work. Do you still have to call the SDConfig file from the config.txt file with a "CFG: \Storage Card\SDConfig.txt" at the end, or does it find the file with only adding the above to the runcc.lua?

No, do not call it from the config.txt file, just add it to the runcc.lua
Also, I used RunDefault instead of RunExtra. I have also been able to get the user input to work on one try. Now I'm going for the whole SDconfig.txt file that I had.
I changed the app.reg file to this:
Code:

Okay, so all of my CAB files that require user input worked as they should.
I still have a couple of issues to deal with, I have the connection setting wizard coming up which I have to shut down so I can see my input dialogs. Don't know how to stop the connection settings from running yet.
Also, the CPY1: CPY2: commands did not work when running it this way, so I have to figure out a way to get xcopyce to run and the only way I can see doing it right now is to cook xcopyce into the ROM unless the FILEOP command work somehow, but I don't know anything about that yet.

You should be able to prevent Connection Setup from interrupting your customization by setting the "TurnOffRadio" from dword:0 to dword:1. If the phone radio is off, Connection Setup won't run.

Thanks, I'll give that a try on the next flash which at the rate I'm going will be in less than 30 minutes
hey Captain_Throwback, it's OMJ...
*EDIT* ooops, I missed page 2 b4 posting...I'm gonna try to above suggestions
1st, can you tell me how you got RunCC to work w/ SDAutoRun, and how is it beneficial over using the AutoRun package?
I tried using RunCC and included SDAutoRun & AutoRun in the rom, I had runcc.lua setup to run config_operator.txt, and it did execute the commands, except for SDAutoRun.exe. I assume I need to add some reg entries for Autorun?
I was also hoping runcc.lua could be used to call the SDConfig.txt file on a Storage Card. maybe w/ code like: (this is on a Diamond)
Code:
chk = oem.checkfileexist("\\Internal Storage\\SDConfig.txt")
if chk == 1 then
runcc.addrun("RunDefault", "run", "\\Internal Storage\\SDConfig.txt")
end
As Noonski stated earlier...if a cab can be installed why not SDConfig.txt?

Some newer versions even support direct cab installation from SD card by simply adding a config.txt line to the LUA script.

I figured I'd resurrect this thread, as I finally got RunCC working on my Fuze.
But now I have a few questions about doing more with it:
What do the various commands in runcc.lua do? I currently am using only a config.txt for customization, and am using the "RunDefault" command to execute it. I noticed (before deleting the other info in the file) that there were also "RunExtra" & "RunCustomer" commands. What's the difference?
My second question is, would it be possible to call for the execution of an SDConfig.txt file on a Storage Card, if specified by path in both config.txt & runcc.lua? That would mean I wouldn't have to include AutoRun anymore at all, which I would kind of prefer.
Currently, I have it set up so RunCC calls SDAutoRun if I want to use UC, and since SDAutoRun calls AutoRun, I include have to include it in the ROM (though I leave out most of the reg entries for it).
Anyone with some RunCC knowledge want to help me out with these answers?
