Can anyone point me to a post that describes the general method of editing the registry in WM 6.5 phones please?
Is this done via a .cab utility that installs the equivalent of Regedit, or do I need a utility on my PC linked to my phone via ActiveSync ?
Any help is appreciated; sort of trying to find the starting point so I can change some of the things on my phone that are not exactly what I want.
Thank you.

Hi All,
Can anyone direct me to some usefull tutorials on creating custom CAB files for my SP5.
At this stage, i'm just trying to create an automated CAB that will change the homescreen to a bitmap of my choice.
I can manually dump the file on the device, but i'd like to put it into a cab file so it will automatically dump the bitmap set it as my homescreen.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
cheers !

Thanks for the response guy's.
I've actually got the OCP CAB manager application.
But it doesn't work with Windows Mobile 2005 based CAB's.
Smart archiver doesn't support WM2005 CAB's either
I'm finding there is a lack of suppoort for WM2005.
I guess i'll just have to make them manually by compiling from an inf file.
Can anyone post a template inf file for the WM2005 OS ?
I can use that as a base, then compile the CAB with cabwiz.
thanks again.
keep pushing ,I want to know the same thing as you.
I tried so many way to open and edit file in Cab-files for WM2005.
Just some files that can be open with CeCABManager.
Hi folks
I am a newby and I have a general question for the CAB files for windows mobile devices.
Is it possible to create a CAB File which contains different sections for different devices.
For example my Cab file should create a few registry entry. Registry entry 1 to 5 is for HTC device, registry entry 6-10 for Samsung devices and 11-20 for all device.
Is there a possibility to create a CAB file who is creating the registry entries like I wish?
Cheers Tom
No. Cabs use to have support for different processor types like MIPS and SHA but today everyone uses ARM.
To do what you want you need ether to use an exe or to put a setup.dll in the cab that will recognize the device via its OEM string (SystemParametersInfo) and write the needed registry.
Is there some information available how to use or create a setup.dll file?
Cheers Tom
CAB and DLL files
You will find the DLL files that may be missing or corrupted on your computer. You can free download on internet at no cost! It’s very useful. If you're using Windows XP or Windows Vista, then your working system has fixed support for opening CAB files. However, if you right-click on items in a CAB file, you won't see all the same options you'd see for a file in a usual folder. This shows that it is not a real folder.
Hi Smithmark
I do not understand you post. I think you are talking about something else.
Please read my question above.

This will tell you everything you need to know provided you can code in C/C++.
Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble finding a way to disable the certificate verification, in order to launch an old .exe file that worked perfectly on WM 2002. I've searched everywhere but no solutions worked for me.
What I've tried (and don't work):
* DisableCertChk.EXE (Only works on PPC 2002/2003 and smartphones 2002)
* Hacking theWindows Mobile 5.0 Registry
* Sign the file with signcode, and install the corresponding certificate
Any idea to make WM6.5 accept to launch my file?
Thanks in advance!
do you get an error while trying to install the CAB file? maybe the problem is not the certificate verification but windows mobile version verification.
Hi, thanks for the answer. I'm not trying to install a CAB, but to execute a .exe, manually copied on the phone.
What do you mean by "windows mobile version verification"?
serious answer please.. I did try thoose things too and a "few" other things..
Hello everyone can someone please tell me what cab files are?
I am trying to understand what they are because I see there are part of the SPB mobile shell download....thank you very much for any help
in a nutshell they're files that install specific programs on a windows mobile device, in more layman terms they similar to .exe's on pc
to use them, transfer the cab file to your phone and run them through your file explorer
Hello and thank you so much for your responce. Another question when downloading the SPB mobile shell is it required to download the (cab) and (exe) to get SPB installed correctly
I'm not sure about the .exe I would assume that its the updated application file, so install spb onto your device than overwrite the original exe on your phone with the one provided
Thanks so much my friend
Hi.
One of the most frequently request i think is this: "Is there any way to convert cab or exe files into .xap ones?"
I haven't found anything about. Can you help me understanding if there is a possibility for this problem? I have an important app in .exe format i would install on my Samsung Omnia 7. Can you help me?
Tnx from south Italy.
Bye

Apps for wm <= 6.5 cannot be launched in wp7
but there has to be a way to translate .cab files , this OS is based partially at least on CE , and .cab files are in CE
I think the main problem is not the underlying OS, but the GUI is completely different. To put it simply, 6.5 and under had a different way of handling how apps looked and reacted on screen.
