cab files cant be executed

Hi folks,
hope you can help me here cause my beloved german forum is dying out..
After a hard reset i was able to restore all my programs and settings quite fast (got used to it cause hard reset solved many recent problems *g*).
But suddenly neither the original file browser nor Smart Explorer can execute cab installation file.
The only changes i made might be some settings with the OS RegTweaker or AmpTweaks but cant find any that would explain it.
Anyone know the Regitry setting that might prevent user from executing cab files so i can undo this limitation?
Thanks for the help, miss the SKTools and will miss future programs
Edit: its done.. it was AmpTweaks, the first tweak

Have you installed Documents to go app??
Because i faced the same problem when i installed the app. I dint find any way to reverse it. You would need to hard reset it again. or you will have to install apps from activesync

Ok, no extended ROM, not like it's wide public knowledge. But how in the hell do we delete unwanted crap? I'd rather not have to do the anti-bloatware reset, I'd like to be able to have full frigin control over my PDA! Anyone?

For "full frigin control", you'll have to learn how to cook your own ROM. Or, you may find that someone will post one here that suits your needs, in time. Other than that, you're stuck resetting during the "customization" process.

Is the statement that there is no Extended ROM on the Kaiser relevant for the Tilt as well or is this related to only the Tytn II HTC ROM? Specifically, during the carrier customization process on the AT&T Tilt, if there is no Extended ROM, where are the customization CABS being called from and how can they be extracted as others have done?

Do a search in \Windows\ for *.cab files and you'll find your answer.
(Total Commander is a great tool for searching your device, among other things)

Thanks for the info.

You can delete them without a problem. They've already been used/installed, so they're just taking up space now.
Hope that helps.

I tried deleting some cab files from my windows directory, but it says unable to delete because they are part of the rom. I'm using at&t rom.

The only way to remove them is to learn how to Cook a ROM.

what happens if i do a hard reset - ie u know revert to factory defaults or whatever - will i be screwed?

If you hard-reset, everything will be back as usual. I noticed Kyphur's post above mine eluding to not being able to delete the files because a poster's question above him. I was under the impression that changing the attributes of the files and then deleting them would work. But hey, I could very well be wrong.
I, unfortunately, don't have a Kaiser anymore (horrible story, I'll try not to cry thinking about it), so I can't test it out right now. But try using Total Commander or something to change those attributes and delete them. As I said though, once you hard-reset, they WILL be back. Post back if that works.

dammit failed to do it with resco file exp. will try a/s then commander

SHARING VIOLATION error, please help me

hello, i am trying to delete FTouchFlo from my startup folder and i get the "cannot delete 'FTouchFlo' there has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." error. why is this? i want to delete it because it is causing me certain problems. thank you to anyone who can help me with this problem.

that's because those files are in the ROM.

Having you tried browsing your device with your PC and delete from there...also use something like phm task to see if there are any hidden tasks running related to it..also ensure your registry is cleared of it....If I were you I would make a HR my last resort....thats my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK.

i got it fixed today. this was a lil wierd. i had touch-commander installed(trail versiom) and when i unintalled it, the FTouchFlo file was stuck in the startup file. and it would not delete. all i did in case anybody else ever runs into this problem, i intalled the original htc cube and then uninstalled it and bingo, i was able to delete it outta there.

Weather for CHome... a complete solution.

A heads up for you guys, since you would probably like this functionality for your Vox's.

Awesome. I have been looking for this. Thanks!

is this working on the Vox? I don't get it installed due to "not enough system permissions"

Same situation here...

Hmm... You guys tried unlocking your phone with the "SDA Unlocker" app floating around ? That should do the trick.

Been there, done that...I also used the Security Configuration Manager from Microsoft to disable security to check if it would solve this issue but nothing happened :S

I did it also, but nothing happened

it may interest all you vox owners (like myself), that I have looked thru the coding of that cab and have been coding all the nessesary bits for it to work on our phones. I'm still working on the cpr file (the one that positions everything), and then I will cab it all up. im still trying to contact the developer to see if he knows whys its not installing thou (and to make sure its okay to poke around in his file!)
EDIT>>
I've just noticed the developer has changed his use of the TestUIPlugin slide for the use of the welcome screen slide, due to reliability and positioning, BUT I personally use the welcome slide for shortcuts, and have had no issues with the testuiplugin slide, plus I notice the welcome screen cannot refresh like the testui one can, so i'm sticking with it. If anyone is interested in my cpr file, or others, I can post them.

Kos letme know when your cab is ready...
thank you

So.. is it possible to install the weather plugin on the Vox? Please post the cpr file or whatever is needed to install it.

If you go the original thread in the Excalibur forum, you can download the cab there and install it on your Vox. It uses the WelcomeCenter plugin which is already properly formatted for the Vox as well. Go download it and try it

I tried every version posted in the Excalibur thread and it doesn't install. It says i don't have sufficient permissions. Rebooted, tried again and still nothing...
EDIT: Found the original version and it still does not install...

The solution I found to make it work is to install everything manually including the creation of the registry keys... :| :S ....but it works now ;P

Well, now I have an issue: everytime the weather updates, my start menu dies...it just stops working...

You guys should try unlocking your device with the SDA Unlocker app that's floating around. That will most definitely do the trick.

I already said that didn't work as the other user also said...I had to install everything contained in your cab files manually to make it work...

My bad.. didn't see that part. Well how does it look in portrait mode ? Is it messed up ?

until now everything looks good even in portrait mode...the only issue that sometimes happens is that when I update the weather, sometimes the start menu stops working...I click in the start menu and nothing happens...I have to reboot to make it work again...

"Your Current Security Settings Do Not Allow this file to be downloaded"

WTF is this??? Anything I try to download from Internet Explorer produces this result, no matter the file type. I checked security settings and there is nothing that helps. I am on Windows mobile 6.5... IE in this OS is such garbage...I'm just trying to upgrade my Google Maps...Help!

bump for ideas

Nice.

appreciate the links but I guess I do not have enough knowledge to be able to translate that into a solution. I made no changes to the registry so I don't know why this happened all of a sudden. I did a search before for the title of my thread and all that came up was a bunch of stuff for internet explorer on the desktop, nothing helpful. Oh well.
