I personally use SK Tools and have grown quite accustomed to its functions and features. When you go to the "Installed programs" section there is a "Move Program" option and also a "Create CAB" from installed program. Both do the job as expected.

Create OEM Packages

Hey guys I would love to make some OEM packages from Cabs, but when I try InitFlashFiles Generator it just exits and doesn't work. So how do I create initflash and .rgu s ?
Important is how do I create the .rgu names? Just random? The initflash is not a problem!
Problem solved: http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen
you could try ervius package creator
Yeah I tried that before, but it exits with an error! It's ok now, I just create the initflash manually!
I would love to use it, but when I extracted the cab with MSCEInfen.exe and close it, I get an error and the initflashfiles tab doesn't open when I click continue and I can't open it manually! It looks like the same error you get when you open it! Any ideas?? It is a pain to create all by yourself!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1761005&postcount=405
try that link, i think it might be his latest creator judging by the date
so here is what i do to use the program
i run the creator in its folder or by a link
i place my cabs in a different folder
click on open cab
browse for the cab
click on extract cab (zip icon without any extras on it)
click ok
click msce icon (running green man icon)
change options or click done
change options or click complete package
and that should be it hopefully
Thank you very much, this one works very good. With the last version I had an error with this one it works!

Install .cab during Customization?

I would also like to know how to install a .cab during Customization (in 3 seconds). Does anyone know how?
anyone?
What do you mean by converting a .tsk????
Just put the .tsk in the OEMOperators Package instead of the one the ROM does and change the config file...i
yeah, i dont think that "convert" was the best word choice, but i basically just wanted to use a custom theme in my rom and was wondering how to do that. ill give this a shot, though

I can't find that package, where is it?
ok, sorry, I found it and changed the theme successfully. Now, I might as well ask this one question:
is there any way to install a .cab to the device while the device is configuring during the first startup? That way users can uninstall it if they want to?
im sory, but does anyone have the answer for this? im pretty sure laurentius26 uses it in his roms, but thid thread has had 150+ views and no respnses other than mine on one other one...
For OEM you could make an cab of it then use packages creator 5.4.exe Might not be the simplest solution but..
For UC use the cab you made above
Atleast now you have something to go on.

Use kaiserkitchen. Run KAISERKITCHEN.cmd and choose p option then open the cab. if you need more info read. All the info you need is here already.

I can't seem to find that file
There are two methods you can use to cook a cab into the customization install.
To hardcode the cab into the install locate the config.txt and add a line for your cab. The formatting is pretty self explanatory once you look in the file itself, or to be more user friendly and allow used to decide whether or not they want to install the cab in the first place rather than just make it uninstallable go here and include the cab(s) in a separate UC package.
there is no reason for a .cab what so ever just put your .tsk in the rom dump (dont even use package tools) and edit the config to your .tsk its really simple as the config.txt all ready has a line that installs the defualt .tsk so just edit that to the name of your .tsk lets say custom.tsk

Ok I'm going to go for the first method. Now, is the config.txt in the Tier Install Package folder?
anyone? all I want to know is how to install .cab files while the "device is configuring please wait..." during an initial hard reset/flash

We told you already mate...
Open: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS\Config_AP.txt
You will se something like this:
Code:
CAB: \WINDOWS\CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB
CFG: \Windows\config.txt
CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB is actually cyberon voice command
Now what you do is:
1. Place youre cab here: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS
(let call it: search4answer.cab)
Now you have search4answer.cab in youre C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS folder.
2. Open: C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OEMAPPS\Config_AP.txt
and insert the name of the cab.
Code:
CAB: \WINDOWS\CVC-PPC-WWE-705142-DopodPPC.CAB
CAB: \WINDOWS\search4answer.cab
CFG: \Windows\config.txt
Remember Config_AP.txt is locked, unlock it and lock after you have edited.
Close all, and cook it up. Now youre cab will be installed under what you call 1-2-3 customization install.
The cab will be uninstable if you flaged it to be so.

A little off topic, but i always wondered why chefs don't make most of their cooked cabs uninstallable. Coz' there's always a program or two (or 10) that you don't use, but you like the rom and stick with it. having a dosen programs you never use is a waste...
question to cooks

thanks a lot raiisak!
however, it's not working. For example, I placed a custom-made .cab file in OEMAPPS, then told the config.txt file to load that, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?
Oh, and I still can't figure out how to get the darned theme to load as the default theme...

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?
Thanks again for responses. I'm able to get what I need and believe this can be put as part of FAQ, Wiki or Sticky?
Sticky no.. but i will add it to the guides thread soon..

How to install home2?

[B]Hello all! i ve got an Htc tytn2. can u plz tell me in detail how to install cab files and Home 2
Thank you all[/B]
Install cab files is quite straightforward. Once you have copied it to your device, you use your file manager to find it. Then you double click to 'open' the file. It will start the installation form then onwards. The same goes for Home2, it also comes as a cab file. Customizing Home2 is something different, but have a look at comunity.pointui.com where you'll find all the answers.

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.
