CAB not deleted after install. How to delete them ? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

As we know, by default when you install CAB it will get deleted after installation.
Some of cooked ROMs will disable this feature, so CAB will stay after installation. Which is OK for many people.
Here is my question. When I install new program using PC (through ActiveSync) it seems that ActiveSync will transfer CAB file (which is inside .exe) and then - install it as usual. So ... where will be those CAB files located and will they be deleted after installation if delete-cab-after-install feature is disabled ?
During TRANSFER ActiveSync does not ask .... "Do you want your CAB to be transferred to SD card or main memory", right ? It only asks during INSTALLATION of the CAB.
I make lots of installations using ActiveSync and would like to know if I'm not filling my valuable disk space (on phone itself) with junk CAB files.

I think that it stores them in the temp dir...which is deleted after soft reset

Thats why I prefer to extract the cab out of the C:\Programs\Activesync and copy them to SDcard. Pro: you have all needed programs on SDcard and do not have to install throu activesync.

Also if you make the files readonly you don't need to worry about making the registry change to stop them being deleted after installation.

Can't copy Vox ad2p drivers in WM6 tornado ROM

Hi, I requested VOx ad2p from a vox user, but I can't copy them in windows folder, the error message says that the original files are in ROM, how do I unlock the ROM please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319326
Do you really need them? Internal drivers work IMHO pretty enough! Of course, after correcting of some registry keys
DO NOT USE THESE DLLS!!!
I have no ability to use A2DP now XR again...
If you need to remove this files, just rename it and reboot. After reboot delete renamed files.

I can not rename these files, they are locked.
This procedure need only if you install files from VOX rom to your WM6 tornado device and they do not work.
You must rename these files directly on your smartphone. Do not use BB (big brother) for this procedure, and all will be fine.

Cab-file creation question.

Hi,
I have a question. I have for example SPB Mobiele Shell. We all now this has to be installed via a PC and i needs a serial to install. I have the program and the serial and i would like to make a cab-file of this 2. I have a program to make cab-files, WinCE CAB Manager. Can anyone explain to me how i can do this? I like to have this on my SD-card and like to install it from there in case of emergency's. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thx
many activesync install exe's
can be renamed to zip and one can out the cab files
give it a try

Tried that but no luck. I think this is not what i mean. I would like to turn this exe into a CAB and the key included. So when i install the Cab i don't have to register.
one would think the program maker took precautions to make that impossible otherwise your cab could be distributed as a pretty easy free version
you can try to single out what files it depend
on and make a cab file from cratchs
and if the exe or dll files got alter when the serial was given
that cab would be reg'd
otherwise you would have to find out what registries was altered in the
serial process and make a reg which which did those alterations
and get the cab file to run it
Most installations that require you to install through activesync end up leaving a cab file behind. Check Program Files\Activesync\SPB... for the cab file. If it is not there restart the installation but after you have executed the setup file leave it alone and search for the cab file again. I hope this is what you were looking for
ALL exe that install via activesync have a cab, some are hidden in the profiles temporary files, some auto-delete once installed, so leave the application hanging in the install and do a search for recent files and sort by date/time (remember to allow it to scan hidden and system folders). a lot go into the activesync directory, some go into program files, i have even found some that go into the internet explorer temp files, install, and then delete themselves. The most common hiding place is your computers profile temp folder --- typically found under
C:\Documents and Settings\PROFILE\Local Settings\Temp
just dig around, its not to difficult once you find the 3 most basic hiding places.
good luck.

You can simply download the CAB files from SPB site directly.

I have run into a similar situation where my installation was failing due to the huge size of a CAB file.
In my case, the size of the CAB was nearly 23mb and the free storage left was around 26mb. This made the installer fail as it ran out of space midway during the install.
I know one thing for sure was that the PC installers (Exes that would run on the PC that would extract the CAB on the device) would extract the CABs and put them in \windows\appmgr\install folder and would trigger the installer on the device.
So during my second attempt, when the device prompted for installation location "device or storage card", I opened up the explorer on the device (guess you can do the same thing with Windows Explorer since your would stay connected over USB using Activesync) and went into \windows\appmgr\install folder and made a copy of the cab to the storage card (you can copy to your PC as well).
Exited the installer and then installed the cab from the storage card and the installation went fine.
Not sure about how the SPB apps work since there are two options during the PC install. Trail or Registered version. Based on the option chosen, it would either extract the necessary CAB (either trial or registered). I hope it creates a "Registered" version of the app in the CAB after you follow the above steps.
Hope this helps.
PS: I wish that the standard install location on the device "\windows\appmgr\install" be changed to the storage card by some tweaks. So far not successful in finding/getting one.

Now i have everything in registered Cab-files on my SD-card. Now i can make the switch to WM6. I'm dutch and have a P3300 and i guess it will take some time before HTC wil come with a dutch WM6 upgrade, so maybe not the place to ask but do you now where i can find a original English WM6 for the P3300?

How to disable auto-delete cab after install on WM5

If you are still using WM5 and are tired of your cabs being automatically deleted after installation(I personally keep a backup of all cabs I install on my SD card) then what you need to do is right click on the cab and enable this file is read only. Then once your done, transfer it to your WM5 device and install cab and it should not be automatically deleted.
Or you could read the WIKI...
WM5
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer]
"nDynamicDelete"=dword:2
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
WM6
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\cabfile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="wceload.exe \"%1\" /nodelete"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(but "Read Only" comes in handy when trying new roms, without knowing that they delete or not the cabs)

Extracting CAB file from PC .exe installer

I tried searching, found this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310788&page=2 but it's not answering my question.
My Kaiser came with SPB GPRS Monitor and Sprite Backup. Both came as an installation disk (exe format) to be installed through a PC. Now, I'm looking at a way to make CAB for carrying both so that anytime I do a hard reset or reflash ROM, I can re-install both without using PC. Looking at the thread, I tried opening up the .exe and able to get the Cab files (there're 2, named 1 and 2 for each setup executable extracted), but copying the Cab and running it on my Kaiser won't work.
Is there any way? I try avoiding using 'cracked' cab apps .. I have it as bundled for the Kaiser, there should be a legit way for me to have it as cabs ..
There is a way.
run the installer from your PC. when the installation screen comes up asking you to choose between storage card and device, DONT CHOOSE. instead, run a file manager and search for the cab file. it usually goes either in windows/appmgr or in application data/volatile
What if in this case, it doesn't ask, it immediately says check your WM device, there's further instruction.
Second question: is the search done on the PC or the WM?
I'll definitely give it a try .. and thanks!
if u got activesync installed on your PC, run the exe files and find the .cab files on program files/microsoft activesync folder
semoga berhasil
Thank you. Terima Kasih Will give it a try
the cab file doesn't always appear on your PC.. but it does always appear on your PPC
look for it in your PDA when it tells you to look for further instructions..
WinRAR (rarlabs.com) is free and will extract most files from EXE installer archives. However, if WinRAR won't then UniversalExtractor will. You can search for it on google and download a demo.
THANK YOU
Thanks to all who has responded.
I managed to find the CAB files under PC's respective folders (Some are under Active Sync, some like Holux, created it's own folder). Tested some of the CABs found there and it worked. Now I'm a happy camper, got all of the CABS that I need (especially GPRS Monitor )
Last question:

Under which folder I should be looking? I tried TEMP but it's empty (that's before I confirming the install process)

I always do this to extract cab files from a exe installer and most of the time the cab file can be found at windows/appmgr/install
very useful and a serious time saver
Sticky or Wiki?

SASHIMI and new 6.5.x roms

Hi everybody? I am trying to find a solution to a issue with sasimi on the new 6.5.X roms (with the start button on the lower bar). The issue is that sashimi cant install cabs to storage card. I searched the web and foud some ideas that u need to hack the sashimi.mrsc file but none of them was working.
Can anybody who succeeded in runing sashimi post his workoround? That would really help me. Thanks ion advance.
Nobody here uses sashimi?
Hello
unpack attached and replace the file in \\SASHIMI\Program\Bin\SASHIMI.mscr
and it will work with Win 6.5.X
Man, I love you, thanks.

Will it also still work with older winmo versions? Or does this break that functionality... thanks though! (Thinking of it, only using 6.5.x now anyway...)

Faaaaaaaaaantastic, it works.
Now, is there a way to install cabs to the device as well. I have tried "device" and nothing for the ASL directory, but nothing installs.
I have the Autoinstall facility on my rom but am a bit dubious to have have Autoinstall and Sashimi both working after a re-rom.

you need to install Sashimi program once in you device to storage card
1- if you already install Sashimi.cab you will get SASHIMI folder in storage card
2- copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
3-copy reg files that you want to install in SASHIMI\Auto\REG\
and so on
after you upgrade your Leo or hardreset it, run Autorun.exe from SASHIMI\Program\2577\
and chose AUTO

I just replaced my SASHIMI.mcsr and it does fix files installed to the device memory but for cabs installed to the storage card, I have to still select storage card and hit 'OK'. Then I have to go to the Home menu and come back to SASHIMI before SASHIMI will carry on with the next cab (in which then I have to repeat the steps for all cabs to be installed to the SC).
Anyone know what could be wrong?
I'm running: Energy.RHODCDMA.23549.Sense2.5_with_Cookie_HomeTab.Mar.20.7z
on a TP2
Me too
It seems that the "SendSpecial ("Down")" is not working and the script may be hanging on the command, or something like that. You don't see the selection change, so it could also be the "SendSpecial("Space")" not working. Either way, the "SendSpecial("LeftSoft")" just after is obviously not firing. Not sure why it's different now, but it apparently is. There used to be a "SendSpecial("CR")" instead of the "SendSpecial("Space")", so I'll try that to see if it's working again (worked in win6.1, not in win6.5). Mine's been working just fine, up till the very latest Energy ROM on my CDMA TP2.

I think it connected to the roms u are using. For me it worked with one rom, then I flashed other rom and I experencied the same thing as you.
sorry to ask, but so far I have no clue about Sashimi but would like to use it and read therefore as much as I could.
Is point 3 a typo?
>3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in main memory to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
shouldn´t it be:
3-copy cab's programs that you want to install in Storage Card to SASHIMI\Auto\cab\SC\
Sorry to ask maybe the obvious but for a newbie it is helping to sort out missunderstanding.

You're right there off course
I am having no luck with the v8.0 of Sashimi. I have the Artemis ROM (WinMo v. 6.5.5).
Auto mode only installs cabs from cab/ASL folder. I replaced the Sashimi.mscr with the one posted in this thread but to no avail.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
me too,
sashimi doesnt install (not works) for new artemis v7. It install all my cabs from auto/SC to device becasue it can not move cursore down anymore..
any suggestions?
I also had a problem with cabs not auto installing onto my Storage Card, instead they were installing to My Device. I have been doing some hunting around for the solution and i think i have managed to find it. (its worked for me anyway).
Go to SASHIMI > Program > Bin, BACKUP SASHIMI.mscr and then replace with the one i have attached. I am no coder so please don't ask me about specifics, there were just some hashes added to the beginning of a couple of lines of code. Like i say it worked for me, so hopefully it will work for you Let us know if it works for you. Cheers.
I'm surprised that either of the attachments on this thread works on HD2 Leo. I found that there is a very basic problem with mortscript and all sashimi scripts will hang. Two symptoms:
1) if not in flight mode, sometimes hangs during initialisation
2) if auto install to storage card, will hang (leaving you to select the radio button and press install)
and there is no easy cure.
