Need to shorten filenames in windows 8 activation zip file - General Questions and Answers

I wanted to post this in the thread where the activation is, but couldnt.
I have tried to extract these files and the filenames are too long.
I have renamed the files in the archive and it no longer works.
Does anyone have a way they can share to shorten these names and have the archive still extract?
or
Does anyone have a version of this archive that already has the names shortened that can be sent to me or a link to a download of said file?

How to open attached *.php files?

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

searched quite a bit - rar that will not install

Been searching a couple days how to install rar files on to my Verizon XV6900 vogue with WM6.1. I am attaching one of the files I am tring to install, for general help. I can seem to install in activesync, from withing sorage card, etc.
Thanks, in advance
Dave,
Unless you have pocket Rar installed on you device you cant install as its zipped. Download a free RAR extractor on your PC, unpack it and you will find your CAB or files inside...... simply copy them/it to your PPC and voila
pocket rar is installed
I did zip the file to upload it, the forum would not accpt it in rar form. When I put the rar on my device ((XV6900 vogue verizon) WM6.1 ROM 3.14.605.1), I was able to unpack it but there was no cab. I upoaded it tthinking somebody would check the contents and help me out.

Sorry about that Dave, i mis-understood what you were trying to do It would help me if u gave me the link where you got the rar file as it would probably contain instructions as to where on ur device you need to copy the unzipped files to (like /windows etc). Let me know where you got the rar file from.

[Q] How can I change file path inside of a exe file?

Hi.
First of all, let me say that half of time took me to look for the right forum in XDA to post this message, and I'm still not sure I'm in the right place..
I think my Q is about modifying my OS, and this is why I post it here.
If the admin think there's better forum to this issue - I'd love to hear it..
Now, to business:
I have a GPS device, brand is X-GPS Navigation, Model GPS-S450B, that I will like to play with.
The OS is Windows® Embedded CE 6.0.
I just found out that at my GPS device, there is a file that resposible to a certain BMP that shown up at the shutdown process.
The filename is "PowerKey.exe", and it reffer to a file named "Notice_en.bmp".
I want to change that Notice-en.bmp file, to show that message in another langueage. I tried to overwrite the file with a similar bmp file, no luck. The file just re-created.
I've tried to edit the PowerKey.exe with a hex editor, and write a new path, to a file in NandFlash directory instead of the Notice_en that lays in Windows folder.
That also didn't go so well. "PowerKey has been preform illegal action and have to be shout down" or something like that, was the message. I could only put the device to sleep, until I recovered the old PowerKey file.
Any solution how to change the BMP file that resposible for the shutdown message?
(I guess the best idea is to write a registry entry to overwrite the BMP file in \Windows directory with the one in the \NandFlash directory every boot, only problem - I donno how to do it. )
Anyone?
There's no solution to my problem?
Recompile the exe.
Thank you.
Any chance to general guidlines in how is that done?

[Q] .Jar and .Tar files, the .jar files need to be converted to .apk(s)

I recently downloaded a software for my htc sensation 4g, and the software come with 5 files. Two .jar files and three .tar files. In the directions of the software, it said the files had to be converted to .apk format. I got one of the .jar files converted through the website it gave me to use, and I saved it to the root of my sd card. The application installed, but I was required to install j2me. The problem is, I have this other file that needs to be converted from .jar to .apk and I don;t know how to do it because the website will not do it, and I have these .tar files, that I really don't know what to do with, because I didn't think .tar files could be used on android. I checked these .zip files, and they do have the java class files in them.I am just really confused about this, and I hope this is helpful enough to get me some answers. If not, please clarify and maybe, I could help with more info.

[resolved] question about madiafire

i host and mirror quite a few of my files and files from others for the forum. i have been stupidly piling them into one directory and was wondering, if i do some organizing and move some of those files into more appropriate folders, will it break my download links already posted around the forum?
thanks
ps. i would move one to see what happens, but im uploading a few large files, and i wouldn't be able to fix a broken download for hours if i had too.
test link, disregard.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/00k5c64mh6kje64/adfree-0.8.64.apk
moved into folder link, disregard.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/00k5c64mh6kje64/adfree-0.8.64.apk
so it appears this is possible with no lost links.
problem resolved.
