I'm trying to create a program for windows mobile 2003/5.0/6.0 smartphone but I can't for the life of find the File Explorer. I can in 6.0 but where is it in 5.0 or 2003. Please no links to google or "jfgi" responses, I wouldn't be asking if I had yielded any success.
Thanks in advance
Have you tried looking into Total Commander. It is a 3rd party app and is a very good File Explorer for the PPC, I highly recommend it. As for the stock one, it should just be in the program folder, no?
Hope this helps.
PS If you Google Total Commander for Pocket PC, be sure to download and install the PPC version NOT the desktop version.
Nol. It isn't. I can't find the stock file explorer to save my life. Did 5.0/2003 not come with one? Am I so stupid that it's right in front of my face?
on my Jamin beofre i flashed 6.1 rom it had 5.0. I am sure the iexplore.exe was in the windows folder, 99% sure it should be there. I dont have it anymore so i can t check for you, but i have a reasonable memory
Not the internet explorer. File explorer. Or file manager. Either one. Nowhere to be found.

Lol, Ironically, he would need to search the Windows Folder from File Manager, which he doesn't have apparently
Like I suggested, download and install Total Commander. And do it with a .msi over the Activesync cable, because you won't be able to install a .cab from the storage card without a File Explorer. From there, you can then look in File Manager for its own launch program.

THANK YOU. Seriously, thank you. I wasn't sure if it didn't have a file explorer of I was just retarded. Thanks for clearing that up though.

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?
I have a Telus branded TP2, and I downloaded .Net compact framework 3.5. I originally had dl'ed to my storage card, but it wouldn't run that way. I then dl'ed it to my device by tapping "open" instead of "save". When the download finished, it didn't launch. I see by my leftover device memory that it did download, but I can't find it.
Does it need to actually be installed, or is it already running, and how do I find it? I did a search, even went manually through my files, but cannot locate it.
Wow, 60 plus views & no help? Anyone? Did not think it would make it off the front page with zero replies.
Try File Explorer andlook in the My Documents folder.
Did you download with Opera?
Thanks for replying. I went through everything I could open with file explorer when I downloaded it, couldn't find it. Even tried finding it with Total Commander. I don't remember if I used Opera or IE.

I had the same issue when selecting open instead of save. The cabs have been saving to a folder called MUSIC...this is a different folder from the folder My Music. when you open file explorer go to My Device and the folder MUSIC should be located there. Consider that I have a Verizon TP2. I hope this helps.
I did actually look there, looked in all my folders, still can't find them. Thanks for the suggestion nevertheless.
Did you try looking in \Application Data\Opera9 ?
If Net CF is loaded you should see it under remove programs.
Hi,
I am new to the forum and am feeling very computer iliterate at the moment ...
Would someone please be so kind and explain in simple terms how to install .cab files / programs on the HD2
I have been trying to install the TCPMP media player (was going to link it, but as new user am not allowed)
This is what i have done so far,
downloaded the file
unzipped into a file on my SD card in the HD2, trying to execute the "set up" file.
the only executable file is the setup.xml and it opens a web browser but thats it.
Am I missing something i need to install first to make this work?
Any help is greatly appreciated. World Cup is starting soon and I would love to install the WoldCup app as well
Thanks,

I think you unzipped the actual cab file . Just copy what you downloaded to your phone then run it.

New Opera version: download
You know the drill... unpack and copy opera9.exe over the opera9.exe in the \windows folder (preferably using Resco File Explorer)
Changelog: don't know
Is it better than other versions: find out yourself
thank you
Thanks very much
Thanks dude.
Hi, what about the people who do not know the drill? where do i copy the file? and then what do i do? do i have to use resco explorer, i want to use the normal file explorer. i have a T-MO HD2

You have to extract the Opera9 file and copy directly to Windows.
It is all.
Best Regards,
Hi, what you have said is a bit vague. the extrated file from the download is an exe file so dnt i need to run it once i copy it over? and what windows directory? do you mean the windows folder on the device memory? not the opera9 folder in the windows directory?
so your asking i copy the exe file into the windows folder on the device memory and just run the exe? is that what i do?
please explain properly (full file path and instructions)
Thank you very much

Yes you have to copy Opera9 file to the Windows device memory, then you will be asked to overwrite, so you should tam yes.
Afterthat you can normally run Opera web browser but in new version.
just in my head?
is it just in my head or is this much faster!?!
ty gonna try it out

Much faster doing what? Page loading times are about your internet connection are they not?
Faster optimization, screen rotation? Pleaze post !
I copied the file overiding the original and when I try to start opera, it says "Opera Loader" with a red cross which when pressed it exits...
Any thoughts?

I deleted the existing Opera.exe file from the Windows folder and copied this one, but the app won't start. I think it has something to do with the attributes of the new exe file. The ROM attribute is ghosted. Any ideas?
Thanks
Procedure is clear to me. Just overwrite .exe file with new .exe file
But to spare me hazzle and spending one day to revert: does this change my opera-settings which I tweaked in operaconfig or goof them by incompatibility ?
Does this new build support flash better than the old one ?
What EXACTLY can the new build better than the old one ?

I have similar questions,my opera is skinned and as troed mentioned
several operaconfig tweaks including having moved the Cache.
Anyone know whether these will all need re-doing if we upgrade
to newer version ?
In short is it worth the effort just to have a different version number ?

Hey Bobsbbq, do you mean the thumbnail not populating a page image? If so, yes I have. The only way I've found to get the image to show up is to open each favorite site in IE.
Ok, new to all this. I have a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA. I flashed to an Energy Rom, looks great. Now... How do I load other software... games and such? I have looked around here, thinking it would be part of the first post, I was wrong. Perhaps this site is too advanced for that? If so, point me to a newbee site and off I shall ride. Thanks in advance for your help. This phone is awesome, and the Energy rom I loaded, looks sweet.

well. there is the microsoft marketplace. or .cab files.
.cab file instructions...
one. download application's .cab file. suggested list of applications can be found here.
two. move the .cab onto your phone's storage card.
three. on your phone, navigate to the .cab file with file explorer, or other like program.
four. open .cab file.
five. choose installation location. device or storage card.
six. select install.
seven. enjoy.
and i havent ever used marketplace before...
i always find the .cab file.
sh4d0w86.
Not to make fun, but it is pretty surprising the you are able to unlock the phone and reflash the OS, but can't install software.
If you search this site, Microsoft Marketplace, or just do a Google for "Windows Mobile freeware", you'll find many thousands of apps. Find the app you want, copy or download the .CAB file to the TP2, and execute it.
For example, Google "Google Mobile Maps", download the Windows Mobile .CAB file, and run it.
Thanks
Well, the instructions to flash a phone are detailed and many. One problem I had was I was dropping the 7zip file onto the phone. Also, I could not unzip the file with the extension of 7z because I did not have the correct unzip manager. Another issue was I was trying to Sync the programs to the phone. Thanks for clearing it up. Is there a logical place to put them on the phone to make them run fast? Thanks in advance.

Installing to main (internal) memory is much faster than installing to the SD (external) memory. Installing large programs to the SD card is the general rule of thumb for obvious reasons. It's up to you where you prefer to install them.
If you mean where should you put the actual *.cab files, then you could always delete them once they've been installed. You don't need them again unless you're going to flash constantly. It's always good to back them up, so storing them on your PC or the SD card would be preferable.
Thanks a bunch!
well, check out this thread..........
cabs just load on the phone and run like any program, just find the file and click it. exe's need to run from windows (regular computer) and install through activesync.
