I understand this really is a WM 6.1 question but I am really having a heck of a time getting any info on this, I have a number of ".cab" files which I no longer wish to use. They are line items in the install/uninstall view of WM6.1 syncing.
How can I remove the entries for these? I don't use nor will I install so I want them to go away.
There is no entry for them in the formal Uninstall location. So that is not the answer. Where are these dangling cabs kept?

Okay, further research has found an answer hopefully this will help someone else:
I am using C:\Program Files\CABviaActiveSync and the cabs are stored in that folder. Deleting them (I only deleted unchecked cabs) removed them from the Install ActiveSync program!

Just an update. With the latest version of WMDC (6.1), the location on the PC is C:\WINDOWS\WindowsMobile.
I see the WMDC is located there, but I don't see any cab files. Are they stored there as well?

I've install Pocket Informant 2007 today to my Storage Card (as its so big). I have also configured Pocket Breeze to use this as default PIM, however the Calendar softkey when pressed gives the following error:-
\WINDOWS\PICalendar.lnk
The file 'PICalendar' cannot by opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
I can load it ok from its shortcut in the Programs menu and from pocket breeze so its not the application thats not working.
Any ideas on how to sort this out? Is it because its installed to the Storage Card instead of local memory?
Thanks
Mark
Just to be sure, check that the \WINDOWS\PICalendar.lnk is the same file that you use to open via the Programs menu.
I'm with the same problem.
Someone help us?
Tks.
I found the solution.
1.
a. Remove PICalendar.lnk from the windows directory.
After this you will get a new error that says it can not find the shortcut.
b. You will have to edit your registry, so you will need an editor. I use Total Commander.
GO TO
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Change the "Open" value to
\Windows\AppButtons\Calendar.lnk
2.
a. Remove PICalendar.lnk from the windows directory.
b. GO TO \Windows\AppButtons\ Copy the file Calendar and rename it to PICalendar and move to \Windows\
It will solve the problem. At least solved to me

Fabio can you post up what i need to edit so that the soft key for contact will default to Pi ?
thanks..
as the title states,
Where does a ppc running wm5 or 6 store the contacts?
my pc (with vista os) has stopped recognising all my ppcs and I want to send the contacts to a 'new' phone from my m3100 that has them all stored.....i just cant find where.
I copied the contact/lnk file but its a link file not the root folder where the files live.
any help is greatly appreciated

if i'm right, contacts are stored in the pim.vol file in the root of device. But do not expect miracles - pim databases from different versions of OS are not compatible! you may be lucky, but regullary it does not work. and you cannot simply rewrite pim db...
best way is to export contacts to completely different format (you will easily find some tool) an then import it back to new device using the same tool.
your vista may be cured by manually downloading wmdc and reinstalling it - i have already seen similar issue. or you can install xp to a virtual machine and connect device to virtualized xp...
nocturne is correct. Contacts and appointments and some other outlook stuff (not email) are kept in PIM.vol and it is different even between AKU versions.
You can overwrite PIM.vol once however, but if the file is of incorrect format your contacts app will fail to work. to fix this rename pim.vol to something else (like pim1.vol) then reset.
At this point a new empty correct pim.vol will be automatically created.
From what I read around the forum pim.vol from higher AKU versions (3 and up at least) is compatible with WM 6.
Hi,
Is there any way of installing Live Messenger on HTC Raphael?
I had it on my HTC S710 WM6.
Can i copy it from the S710 to my new Rahpael?
Thanks

maybe?
not one of those worked on my fuze.... really frustrating trying to get my hotmail email on my fuze.. you would think microsoft would make it easy for you to use MICROSOFT hotmail when using your MICROSOFT windows mobile phone...
This will probably not help you much but monx has included Live Messenger into ROMeOS².
Maybe he could provide you a working cab-file?!
HTH
f*ck it, i'm pissed, so i ended up making a gmail account, and just forwarding my hotmail to gmail. everybody's been telling me to do that for a while, this is what finally got me to do it cant believe how easy it was to set up a gmail account on the fuze!!

It is possible
Hi,
It is kind of a effort to get Windows Live Messenger to work on a Raphael without it being pre-installed. Trust me, I know. I went through the same pains as you guys did. Every cab file I downloaded just simply didn't work....
But I've found a solution, but it's kinda tedious to do it. And I can't really remember what I exactly did. In general this is the process:
1) Download a registry editor, for example Resco Explorer or PHM registry editor (google it)
2) Download the cab file for Windows Live (without messenger) from Microsoft.com
3) Download Windows Live Messenger 10.6.39.1300.cab. It floats somewhere on xda-developers
4) Pick up your old WM device with Windows Live pre-installed and also install a registry editor on it
5) Install the registry editor on your Raphael. After that install Windows Live with messenger. Don't start it!
6) On your desktop open the Windows Live cab (no messenger) from Microsoft with winrar (http://www.rarlabs.com) and extract the xml file located in it. Open this xml file with notepad
7) In this file scroll down until you see the registry edits it uses when installing. What you need to do is compare these to the ones in the registry of your Raphael. I can remember that a string named "Login" was missing from my Raphael, so I manually added it to the registry of my Raphael. But there are more that I can't remember.
8) Take your old phone and compare its registry entries for Windows Live Messenger to
the registry of your Raphael. Copy these over.
9) Start Windows Live every now and then to see if it works. When it doesn't compare the registry entries again and copy some over. Eventually it will work...
I told you it is a lengthy process, but eventually I got it to work...
I am no programmer so I don't know how to make a cab file for automatic addition of these entries. Please try it this way. When it doesn't work, I'll try to dig into my registry and post the entries here.
Scott
Weird... I can get my hotmail emails through the messaging, and i didn't have to do anything fancy....
I made a cab running for any TPhere the link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/158640294/WLMMob10.6.0034.08.cab
It is the same posted in wiki
works great! thanx!
only windows live cab that worked on my fuze thanks
I'm new to WM6 and I'm sure my WM5 Universal let me save cab attachments to my card so I could install them, but my HTC Touch Pro 2 won't allow me to access an attached cab 'for security reasons'
There is no advanced setting I can change to allow me to access them - why do they treat us like morons?
So I put it in a zip but although the received email on my TP2 is the right size no attachment is shown :-(
So I had a brainwave and thought I'd just rename the cab a ms friendly doc before emailing it to my phone - but of course the standard file browser can't rename extensions and I haven't loaded a 3rd party file manager yet (maybe I'll email myself the cab for one....)
John
why u emailing the cabs to yourself, use bluetooth or even better active sync
cos its easier
failed miserably to get by Vista to send files by bluetooth to my TP2 and can't find my cable.
I'd use wifi but how do you do that with Vista? I have to transfer from my Vista to my XP networked the only way possible as a netwoirk drive, then wifi from there.
Email is far easier if pocket outlook didn't think it knew better :-(
Got Resco Explorer now so email my files as .docs , funnily enough half of then don't show up as attachments on my phone. hmmph
set up bluetooth share folder properly in your tp2 settings. that way when u bluetooth ur cab it will be saved directly in that folder.
U can specify where that folder is, (device or card).
If u install advanced config (search for it here) u can set it to keep the cab after install, for future reference.
I've searched throughout the forum and found others who have asked this, but never an answer. Apologies if it's buried somewhere though.
My WM Outlook does not allow any way of displaying what is in the Deleted Items folder when it's sync'd with Exchange. Let me clarify that this is intended Windows Mobile behaviour - deleted items get deleted from the device and moved to Delete Items on the Exchange server.
However what I would like is to see on my device is the contents of that Deleted Items folder. Sometimes it's useful to go back and check something you've deleted. Most other folders can be sync'd with Exchange so you see the contents on the device as well, but that option (Menu>Tools>Manage Folders) isn't available.
This behaviour is on WM6.5 on a Touch Pro2, but it's true for other versions of Windows Mobile and devices.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Mark
