Hi,
I have several application which only runs if they are in "\Program Files",
my build is a 0407 (german) and i have "\Programme".
Is there something similar to unix "ln" or can i set some like "programm files" = "programme" in reg ?
i tried making a Program Files.lnk in "\" which points to "\Programme" in explorer it works but when i want to start app via "start.lnk" it still blames it cannot be found
thx

The only thing I can think of is to trick windows mobile into making a network shared folder with localhost as the computer.

Hi I use Mortrun (http://www.sto-helit.de/index.html) to make a batchfile.
I use Calligrapher aswell and want to make a batchfile fro running a Pencommand.
The contents is:
Run \program files\calligrapher\pencmd.exe "/m nf"
However, I get an error, MortRun does not recognise the parameter, even without the quotes. "Cannot find pencmd.exe etc...".
Directory is OK and it works also when I load a non-parameter exe.

Try
Run "\program files\calligrapher\pencmd.exe", "/m nf"
Unless the parameter(s) is/are seperated by a comma, MortRunner will try to start a program named \program files\calligrapher\pencmd.exe "/m nf", including the quotes.
btw: If you didn't notice already: V2.6 of MortRunner is out...
Thank you for your help, it works!

Hi all,
I just sucessfully installed big storage on my O2 mini and was wondering how i can change the default directory to which my software installs. The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...
Help please....
help
you can only whether you want to install a program to a default location, storage or a storage card. it will ask you in the beginning of installation by ActiveSync. choose NO and install sonewhere else.. gl
Still no luck....
Unfortunately, this particular program does not use the active sync user interface for the installation....
Any other methods?
i saw a shareware program on the forums once that did that... wish i downloaded it then cause i cant find it again sorry .. thought id let you know its out there though.....
aidil916 - unless it's some kind of ROM update etc, anything that gets installed on the PPC must always use a cab file, even on PC based install. So, start the install, and does add/remove programs or something come up?
Either way, if it installs something to the PPC (i've no idea how the arabizer works), interrupt the installation or somehow stall it. Then use a program like Filetracer or even the XP search tool to find any cabs installed to your pc in the last few minutes. Track down the cab (usually in your temp folder, programs folder or activesync folder) and then take a backup copy of the cab. Then, copy that to your PPC..
Tell me how it goes.

Usually when you perform PC-based installation software asks you for target location but some programs are hard-coded with "\Program Files\ProgramName" path so they will fail to work if you place them to another locations, i.e. to Storage Card
For programs that don't allow you to change target location you can change their registry entries to correct their path from "\Program Files\" to "\Storage Card\Program Files\". Here you will also need to manually move your program to a new location (SD) using Explorer's copy-&-paste functions
ps: don't use cut-&-paste because some of your programs may be running and this will cause sharing violation errors
Example, I have program "ABC" installed at "\Program Files\ABC" folder.
1) Using Explorer I navigate to "\Program Files" and COPY "ABC" folder to clipboard
2) Now I navigate to "\Storage Card" and create folder "Program Files"
3) I open newly created folder "\Storage Card\Program Files" and PASTE my "ABC" folder from clipboard here
4) Using Registry Editors I search for "\Program Files\ABC" entries and change them to "\Storage Card\Program Files\ABC"
5) I do soft-reset. If after that program works Ok, I delete "\Program Files\ABC"
The software is Imaginet-arabitizer and it uses a PC-based installation. No cab files...

Check your activesync's installation location. You will find the cab file within Software name or company folder, like "C:\program files\microsoft activesync\ABC"

There are 3 methods i use,
1st is download the CAB file if you can, copy to your PPC and install with a program called CAB Install http://www.s-k-tools.com/fp/viewtopic.php?t=44 which allows you to install the app anywhere you want.
2nd is to run the standard ??.exe PC installation file but without your PPC pluged in. After the ??.exe install file is finished it will normally produces a CAB file on your PC which will copy across to your PPC next time you plug it in. All you need to is to find the CAB file and manually copy it to your PPC and use CAB Install.
The 3rd way is to do the same as 2 above and then use an app called WinCE CAB manager which you can generally modify the CAB files standard installation directory to what ever you want to.
Hope this helps
Most software including PC based installs eventually use CAB files. For this I use a small program CabInstl.
Hi:
I have T-Mobile SDA and with WM5 and WM6 i can´t see de windows folder in the mobile. In the mobile i can see the folder but via Active sync i can´t.
¿What´s the problem?
Thanks.
"show" hidden files and folders in your pc.
OK. Thanks. I tried thats but i don´t see.
If you are using Vista then you may have to uncheck "hide protected operating system files" in the folder options.
I have searched for hours on this, and I bet it is right under my nose, but i could not find it.
I upgraded my BJ2 with windows mobile 6.1 standard. I have added PHM reg editor, CHome Config. I cannot edit the reg, and chrome config gives me errors when starting saying it can't write to reg.
I am trying to figure out how I can edit my cpr files cause right now, 6.1 will not let me over write or edit the file.
Any idea of what I am missing?
TIA
-Z-
Ok i figured out how to make the CHome Config work. never mind that worked for 1 time. but i can't make it work again. getting error back on CHome Config again saying it cannot write to registery.
this is what I did for that:
HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies
key 00001005 changed value 16 to 40
still can't get the *.cpr file over wrote or copied to the windows folder. The error says I don't have permission to replace it.

You can't overwrite it via WMDC anyway
To unlock a registry to overwrite it via ActiveSync or device's File Explorer (Resco Explorer):
Download regeditSTG2 which is digitally signed: http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/387522/regeditSTG2.zip
Then install it and change some registry values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
-> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
-> change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128
-> change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101a": Dword = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
-> create new key "0000101b": Dword = 1"

Erofich, I tried that and change those values and added the keys. Still not working.
I still can't edit, delete, copy in the windows directory of the phone.
have you did a reboot of your device after these changes?
yep...
the file in ur link is broken. so I used CeRegEditor changed all the things fthat u mentioned and done a soft reset, plus I even tried turning the phone off and back on. still can't do anything in the windows folder.

What app are you using - WMDC or ActiveSync?
ActiveSync - but wait, i am on vista so really I am using WMDC
I can't use activesync on vista.
I tried using the file explorer on the phone.
I first try to copy the edited file over the no edited file.. Error - I am making sure that the home screen is not set to Sliding panel, as I am trying to edit the CHome_320x240.cpr file.
Next I tried to delete the cpr file from the windows directory - Error - You can't delete file from rom
Then I tried to rename the file in the windows directory, still won't work.
I am not sure on this, but I have read people are editing these files, I just don't understand why I can copy mine to my PC, edit it, but I can't get it back on the phone.

Hi, Can you plz share info on how to delete or overwrite files in the windows dir for WM 6.1.
Thanks,
How did you manage to edit the registry? I changed one value (0000 1005 to 40) and now I can't edit anything else. Several programs I've used flat out won't let me change the registry. I keep getting "access denied" on all of them.
How does NaviPanel work with iGO8 in Windows Mobile Phones?
I tried many times to find the right suitable way to make the navigation program iGO8 work through the NaviPanel Application in my hTC hd2 and finally I found the solution to this problem.
You should do the following steps one by one to get the best results:
1-Create a file directory under the name CoPilot in your phone memory Program files
2-Install the cab file”MSN-NaviPanel” into your phone in your memory card (this application contains the necessary files to define the Copilot navi extension in the NaviPanel. Thanks to xda-developers forum.
3-After installing the “MSN-NaviPanel”cab file you will find two files which are “config.ini” and “Copilot” and “NaviPanel” inside the CoPilot folder that you created in the Program Files.
4-Now you have to open the iGO8 folder in the Program Files and copy the following files:
sys
gpstmc.dll
iGO8.exe
5-Paste them into CoPilot folder you created.
6-Change the name of the “iGO8.exe” file into “CoPilot.exe”.
7-Make another copy of the iGO8.exe file in the same CoPilot folder and name it “splashscreen.exe”.
8-Now you have 7 files in your “CoPilot” folder.
9-Make the following changes to “config.ini” and “sys” files
Sys file >>>>
[folders]
app="Storage card\igo_folder_as_you_named_it"
config.ini file >>>>>
Path=\Program Files\iGO8\iGO8.exe
KeepAlive=on
10-Don’t run NaviPanel when you are connecting the phone to the internet while doing this operation…. Wait till you finish everything.
11-Now do the soft reset to your device.
12-Run NaviPanel and enjoy iGO8 at the same time.
Note: if you receive a message which says that you should restart installing iGO8 because of the SDcard is not original don’t be afraid, do it and restart the program.
Best Regards

There's threads and posts on this already. Basically it just launches the program for the buttons on NaviPanel.

Agree for that!
Thanks for posting.I too had the same problem figuring bis out myself.
Is it possible for an xda-developer to built a cab to make the following:
a)Create a Copilot folder
b)Copy allsdk to windows folder and
c)Making the proper key to the registry
Thanks,
yes, but I think other explanations are not enough to do the operation and there are many visitors who dont have enough knowledge about programing. It is a matter of development but not invention. My all thanks to whom participated in providing all informations about such issues.

What do u mean exactly?
Did u get this when u installed the above mentioned cabs or what?
If so i suggest modifying your sys.txt clearly specifying the correct path.
[folders]
app="Storage Card/iGO8"
I hope this helps
Moreover can a cook\chef\wizkid from xda devs replace the htc navi crap with sth that works.I would prefer music player integration,cameraand ability to choose over GPS apps. I think it would have come up to be very handy for all of us and a lot of people would donate for this.

you are trying to use igo Primo, and the folder global_cfg from content (on storage card) is missing. that's why.
the navipanel cab has made my phone unstable and keeps htc sense freezing
