I'm able to open every attached 'download.php' file on this forum, but a few seems to be empty to my variO, while other members don't have that problem. I myself use pRAR 3.60. Are there other tools/programs to open them or are there diffferent types of *.php files which are created by forummembers?
If I understood correctly you are talking about downloading stuff from this forum directly to your device?
The *.php extension in this case is a bug. Any file may it be exe or zip or doc downloaded from a thread here by PIE will wind up as php on your device.
The only way I know around this is to use Total Commander (or similar) to change the extension to what it suppose to be (doc, exe, zip) and then try opening the file.
Opening the *.php files is not the problem, but they seems to be empty, no archived included. Like the attached one. I renamed it as rar but still no joy.
Could you try to see if this one is empty?
And are there other NLD variO users experience the same problem, with my config (see signed info)?
I think I solved you problem.
Quick look with a hex editor reviles that his is not a rar file.
It's a cab. Also desktop WinRAR has no problem opening it or extracting files.
If you rename it with cab extension then run it by clicking on it in file explorer you get the desired effect.
I am not familiar with pRAR but it may be limited to rar and zip file formats.
That's it..!!
I wished I asked this months before...
Thanx alot
Hi,

You can just tap and hold on it in File Explorer and tap "Copy" then in File Explorer go to My Device --> Windows --> Start Menu --> Programs and paste it in there.
the exe file has to be installed through activesync.
Not necessarily. Sometimes an app is downloaded as an EXE and you run it on your PC and it installs via ActiveSync. But sometimes you download an EXE and it is supposed to run on the phone.
If you use the file explorer to make a shortcut to the exe rather than copying the exe, you don't have to copy any dependencies across.

I tried this first before posting this topic, and after reading some instructions, learnt that the only way to get it to appear in the Programs list is to install it via Activesync.
note: i recall that some one was able to extract the cab file (from exe files needing to be installed via activesync) from the installation so that future installs can be achieved without activesync.
I have a exe file on my Touch HD which is an application. It wasn't installed on my device, it was simply copied from my computer. To access the application, I currently have to go into file explorer and select the exe file.
I would like to be able to access the application from Start/Programs. Is there any way that I can make a link to my file appear in the programs list? Perhaps a new registry entry??
Thanks

Move the exe file to your programs folder manually
Edit: Sorry I just thought actually that I don't know if this will work for your device (Touch HD with WM 6.1) but it works for me with my device and my ROM.
on my Nike with 6.0 i do it by copying the exe file and paste shortcut to Start Menu/Programs

Actually you are not making a shortcut, you are copying the whole exe to the programs folder. You should actually cut and paste that way you are not having the program exe twice on your device - Save space on your internal memory.
it's .lnk file and has less than 1 KB. But thanks in advice
Ok, please excuse me and this question. I'm a At&t Tilt, Treo and iPAQ user.
I'm new to this forum and I have an issue.
When I download a file, for instance: Risidoro_Intent_MIDlet_Manager_11.1.7.1023.cab.zip
I open it with WinRar and Extract to my desktop
inside the new folder is _setup.xml and a bunch of different files that say stuff like 00CAB10D.004
How do I install these?
When I open _setup on my Tilt or on my PC I get a script that opens up in Internet Explorer.
Thanks a bunch,
Alan
You don't install them.
Windows Mobile installer files are in cab format
to install just copy the cab file itself to your device and run it thru your PDA's file explorer
Still confused, what do I open?
Theres around 10 files and when I open them they say something like open this with an application.
And when I open _setup it shows me a script.
unzip the ZIP file so you get a file.CAB (DON'T exctract the CAB).
drop the cap into your device and double click it..
First of all, I've to say that I spent several hours trying to make Opera 10 working correctly with the TouchFLO interface. Trust me, you can't do this editing the registry or other files.
The only way to run Opera Mobile 10 (beta) from the Internet tab is using a little app called "VJBrisk.exe". I've found these informations here; they were written in order to launch Skyfire, but I've done the same thing to launch Opera and it worked.
Here's a little tutorial. Hope this will finally help you.
1) Install Opera Mobile 10 (http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/) into your mobile. It will prompt you to set Opera as default browser. Say YES.
2) Download VJBrisk (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBrisk) and install it on your mobile
3) Copy "VJBrisk.exe" (you can find it into the apps list -start, etc.-) with a good explorer (I reccomend Total Commander) into the \Windows folder
4) Rename "OperaL.exe" to "OperaL.exe.bak" (who knows...) into the \Windows folder
5) Rename "VJBrisk.exe" (\Windows) to "OperaL.exe"
6) Create a shortcut to Opera Mobile 10 (you can do this with Total Commander by clicking File - >>>>> - Create shortcut) and move this shortcut to the \Windows folder
7) Rename the shortcut to "OperaLLNK.lnk" into the \Windows folder
8) Do a soft reset
That's all. 99% working on my HTC Touch Viva.
I say 99% because if you click the "All bookmarks" link (not the bookmarks...) on the left, Opera will show you an error page saying "Could not open file. You tried to access the address file://localhost/Bookmarks, which is currently unavailable..."; the same for the "Browser" link on the right. I think this is a sort of Opera Mobile 10 bug, maybe it will be resolved with the final release.
Haven't had a chance to try this yet, and don't plan to until I can get the zoombar to work with opera 10. That, or a good touchflo port to the blueangel. Thanks for this, though
This operation is not working with my Touch Pro and Opera Mobile 10 Beta2u enhanced version.
I can't try with this model, sorry
But I think this operation has to work with all HTC mobiles, because it just replaces the original OperaL.exe with another that links to the new Opera 10...
Now, when you click on the globe, what happens?

I've tried this way before using VJBrisk, but it failed for me.
Anyway, I think it's not "comfortable" to copy the entire content of the Opera folder into \Windows, what if you then upgrade to a newer version?
When I tap on the Internet tab is written:
! Opera10-armv4i.exe
The file "Opera10-armv4i" cannot be opened. Either it is...
...restoring this file.
I checked also in registry what is under /HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/DEFBROWSER and it is already with Opera10-armv4i.exe
Is "Opera Mobile 10 Beta2u enhanced version" = Opera10-armv4i.exe ???

I don't know if the enhanced version has the same executable file name, but I guess yes, so check again if the OperaLLNK.lnk file correctly redirects to Opera10-armv4i.exe and remember to place it (the .lnk) in the \Windows folder together with the vjbrisk.exe renamed to OperaL.exe

Anyway it´s nice to have another method
I´ll post it on the Opera official thread

This file is a ROM file on my system (Touch HD, Orange ROM 1.59.61.2) and it seems it cannot be re-named. Any work-arounds?
Thanks!
Easier to understand instructions!!!
Opera 10 doesn't have the same OperaL.exe file like 9 did. So Touch Flo is hard coded to execute the OperaL.exe file which doesn't exist.
1st off, nothing needs to be changed in the Registry!!!
1. I basically pasted the 'VJBrisk.exe' into the Windows Directory.
2. Renamed 'VJBrisk.exe' to 'OperaL.exe' in the Windows Directory.
3. Went to Program Files\Opera Mobile 10 \Opera10-armv4i.exe (your Opera exe might be named something different. I'm using Opera Mobile 10 Beta3 Repack) and created a shortcut of that exe and copied the shortcut to the Windows Directory.
**If you want to use a different browser or have some other executable launch, just make a shortcut to what you want to launch**
4. Renamed the Shortcut to 'OperaLLNK.lnk'
5. Test that the 'OperaL.exe' now fires off the Opera Browser. If it doesn't, you probably have a typo.
6. Now go to Touch Flo and press the 'Launch Browser' globe icon and now Opera should open up for you! You can also add your new Push pages and they should launch as well.
7. Only problem now is that it opens 2 tabs in the browser, 1st tab of my Start Page like normal, but then on top of that it opens a 2nd tab to the path of 'file://localhost/home'. Anyone know why it does this? It doesn't do this when the browser is launched anywhere else besides the Touch Flo launching of it. Is it maybe looking for AT&T's MEdiaNet home page? If so, where can I restore the link to MEdiaNet's homepage or can I just tell it to go to some other webpage?
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

I've been messing with this for hours and finally figured it out...
Don't rename vjbrisk.exe to replace OperaL.exe because it won't work. Instead rename vjbrisk.exe to OperaL.exe in another folder and then COPY that file over the top of OperaL.exe in the Windows folder.
Finally this worked for me. The Windows\OperaL.exe file is locked in ROM and can only be copied over and not renamed over. I guess some Windows Mobile devices don't have this file locked and renaming over works for them.
Confirm success and advice not to do it
I confirm Darkbsoul. The only way to switch to Opera 10 by now is using VJBrisk. The procedure is straightforward and works immediately! No need for a soft reset.
However, as much as I like Opera 10, I will refrain from dumping HTC's original Opera 9.5 build 15316 as my default TF3D browser:
1. The error message is ugly on your face each time you fire up Opera 10 from TF3D.
2. VJBrisk's approach is somewhat slower: you run VJBrisk, which in turn runs Opera 10.
3. I lose my saved Opera 9.5 bookmarks
4. I can't use the nice Opera 10 3X3 start pages grid
I've got some solution, not perfect (and I think not for Sense, but only for TF3D), but it's one way how to launch Opera mobile 10 from internet tab.
Open \Windows\27c65cbd_manila in notepad and there you can add link to any program you want. You should have there a link to Youtube, so just copy&paste it and edit Text, Executable and ImagePath to anything you want. Don't be surprised with the qtc extension used in image path for Youtube, you can use for example PNG and it will work.
hi just want to say thank you, works like a charm on my hd2 with a custom rom that only have internetexplorer cooked in. i installed opera 10 to the device. rename vjbrisk.exe to iexplore.exe and the link to opera10 to iexploreLNK.lnk. then copied both files to my windows folder and bingo i can use the internet tab/favorites of 'htc sense' to start opera. only bad thing is i cant start the real internetexplorer anymore but who cares.

if a file is in rom then you dont have to care about it. files in rom cant be overwritten, so if you copy a file with the same name over a rom file the rom file is still there, its just somewhat 'invisible'. if you want to recover the rom file simply delete the file you copied over it, and the rom file will reapear.

Hi! You rock! This is work perfectly... with opera mini also!
But, how can I remove "file://localhost/Bookmarks" message when I tap the "All bookmarks" button? Thnks!
