Fixed .NET CF Download!? - General Questions and Answers

Hey.
In reference to this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975281
Where is the file? I am in great need of this, and really cannot figure out what M$ wants me to do to get it.
Any help would be appreciated.

cab files are run on the pda

No, I need to get the hotfixed .NET CF cab file and install it onto the device.
I can't seem to find the cab installer that is listed in the table.
EDIT: (I need to download the fixed cab file, basically, so I can install it on my device)

Try this, I am pretty sure this is the file
http://rapidshare.com/files/77805623/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2ZGV1DNJ
Google Search had results in 2 seconds

Thanks, I'll try those two and see if they work.
@cmstackar: Hehe, yeah, I'm never really sure which website will hit me with malware or not.

Neither one seemed to fix the problem (nor was exactly the size listed on the KB article), nor did about 4 others I dl'd and tried.
If anyone has a better way of solving this problem, let me know.
I really would like to be able to use embeded Pocket IE objects again...

I think they just dropped in a fix into the existing package, no version/name changes. I too am looking for this. The article indicates that the file is available but it's actually not!?

If anyone is still looking for this fix, you can request it here:
http://support.microsoft.com/hotfix/KBHotfix.aspx?kbnum=975281&kbln=en-us
You'll get a download link immediately (it worked for me, anyway).

Can someone please sign this .exe for me?

i have looked and tried for the last 2 hours to sign this stupid exe and cannot do so. i took parts from the fuze .exe and moved it into the 1.1 exe. this works on my rom where other versions gave a c++ error also the versions that did not give this error had horrid graphics. so if i can get this signed i think i may have solved a problem. i just need to be able to install via cab and it needs to be signed to do so. the file works perfectly if you just copy it to your phone manually and run it. thanks in advance
If you search for "File Editor Suite", you will find a short thread that has a zip-file with reshacker, a signer (msigner?), an unsigner, and one other gizmo that I can't recall right now.
You may need to unsign first, do your modifications, then re-sign. I think it's a pretty trivial thing to do (haven't done it myself-I just use reshacker).
Edit: you may be trying to use msigner already. If not, hope this helps.
i have tried signer.exe and signtool.exe through dos and neither worked. i will search for what you mentioned.
msigner is the same tool, did not work

[Req]Extract CAB from EXE.

Does anyone know of an app that I can run from my device (Tmo Wing w/WM6.5) that can extract the cab file from an exe file?
I don't have a desktop computer and I have a lot of executables that install through the pc that I would like to install on my device.
Or is there another way of installing these types of files?
Or can I just change the file extension?
exe files that run from your pc, actually store the cab on your pc and transfer it.
most files you need are probably in cab format on the web already.
the exe wont help if you rename it.
what it does is extract the files to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\app name
Unfortunately, I don't have a computer at the moment. Had to send my motherboard back to the manufacturer to be repaired.
So I am not able to do it the way you mentioned. There's gotta be a way install with pc executables..
The main reason is I have the full version of Fade (ppc game) and I don't see it as a cab on the net anywhere.
If anyone would be willing to share the cab with me, I would be greatful.

Download UniExtractor, it can extract most of the .msi,exe.

Hi there, try what the guys have said above. Also please do not ask someone to provide a cab for a paid app/game, its against xda rules.
Be careful if your doing this, dont distribute the cab if you manage to extract it.
Cheers.

creating cab file from skyscape exe?

i've tried all the 10.000 methods in all of the other "how to cab from exe", but none of them seemed to work, now im just curious if maybe its not possible in the type of exe that im installing. What im trying to get the cab of is the medical programs from skyscape. When installing from my computer, it asks for some stuff, like if i agree with the terms etc. etc., and the it also asks what kind of install i want to do.. i select "Trail" and then it proceeds on installing it to my device.. but i cant get the cab anywhere!
does any of you deal with those skyscape files? or otherwise if any of you is interested/bored to give it a try, www.skyscape.com, download any file as a test-drive (trail) and install it as a trail also.. it would help me a lot since im gonna be traveling and i dont drag my computer along all the time, and i want to be able to install my programs in case of i reset my phone.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Could try this Universal Extractor
If you install with ActiveSync, it stores the .cab files that its extracting from the .exe file. So while you're running the executable file, installing the software, go to C:\Users\*YourSySName*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync and see if it is there.

[MOD] HTC Flashlight, no demo at startup

The HTC Flashlight app isn't bad. It looks fancy at least, and I see it's included in many ROMs, so it must do something better than TorchButton (my other baby).
Anyway, when you start HTC Flashlight, you get that annoying demo you have to wait for before you can use the app. Well, it's annoying to me at least.
Attached in the .zip is a fixed .exe in which the demo is skipped. The rest works like it does normally (light is turned on immediately at the middle setting). Just replace the original .exe with this one. If it's cooked into the ROM, you may not be able to overwrite it. Just put it somewhere else and make a shortcut then.
Btw, you can recognize if you use the modded .exe if you see FlashLight as title, instead of Flashlight (note the capital L).
Have fun.
Update march 7th
The original app can be downloaded from this thread, first post: [CAB] HTC Flashlight
(so after that, overwrite the exe with this one)
Update march 8th
Updated the attached .zip with a signed version of the executable, which prevents problems to run the fixed exe on stock roms and a number of custom roms.
aho77 made an updated cab wish signed version to install the whole thing, can be downloaded from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5817414#post5817414
Also attached is the certificate used to sign the executable. You shouldn't have to install this, but I provided it just in case.
Wow... this is PERFECT!!!! Dankje man!!!
Thanks NetRipper, another annoyance gone...
Thanks!
Hey thanks m8 awesome no annoying demo ^^
when trying to run it says:
the file cannot be trusted, either it is not signed with a truseted certificate or one of its components cannot be found

You can ignore that message. Just click 'yes' to continue. (You get that message because the .exe was modified, and that's correct.)
If you want to get rid of that message forever, run this cab:

Not much point in that I think. This is just a hack for an existing app. You replace the .exe with this one. If I were to cab this, I'd have to provide the full app. I think there's like 3 dlls besides the exe normally.
[edit]
Here's you can download the original cab from, I'll add that to first post too: [CAB] HTC Flashlight (after installing that, overwrite with exe in first post)
Strange...I can't get it to run too.
I get the same error message (cannot be opened, not signed with trusted cert, component missing.) Installed the cab you provided, reset, but still the same msg. Running as standalone or copied to windows folder, same result. On official ROM 1.66 WWE.

That message always appears and I am never given the option to run the exe. it always quit. installing the cab to disable the security message didn't make any difference. I wonder if it is because of my stock 1.66 ROM Asia or Resco explorer to unzip the file.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kurni
The mod should be great, but doesn't work for me neither.
I have the same problem as a above... there isn't such a option as a "YES" to continue it closed also i have installed the cab but no luck ... any idea?
Ahhh...fantastic, thanks for this!
Wondered when someone would fix this
Nice,
I will try it now.

I don't know why it's not working for you guys. Two of you reported to be using stock rom's. I've only tested this on energyrom which has htc flashlight cooked in. Maybe that's the problem.
Did the original htc flashlight app work for you guys before you tried using the patched one?
And just a short in the dark, try installing this cab with developer certificates (might need soft reset afterwards):
http://www.netripper.com/raphael/SdkCerts.cab
do I have to install this exe by itself,
or should it go where the original app was installed?
this could be the reason
Well, you overwrite the original exe with this one, or you at least place it in the same dir with a different name.
same issue here using miri 6.5 v5.0 which has flashlight cooked in.

The original one works, but the patched exe doesn't.
On stock 1.66 asia WWE rom...wonder what's the problem.
And the original exe is in the Windows directory, replace or renamed gives the same problem.

[Q] Load Programs?

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.

Excellent Thread!!!!!!!! I too made all those mistake and diddn't know how to load .cab files. This is my first foray into modding phones so this thread was quite informative.
