Maybe because you are trying to install the Smartphone version to a Pocket Pc Phone Edition.
Smartphone is not the same as Pocket PC Phone Edition, (Xda)

as far as i understood the merged rom has an older version in it, but I don't have it on my xdaii.
If it has installed itself on your himalaya, uninstall instructions are in the thread
thanks M4io
but neither winzip nor win rar recognized the file i downloaded on the thread you have posted.
wnen i click on the download it shows.
(download the 1.34 mb file, 'download PHP').
now what i want to know is what is PHP?
and why dosen't the winzip & win rar recognized's this cab file.
thanksin advance.

Install Caller_ID_W..
PHP is a language which runs on the webserver. so when you click on download.php you actually start a service on the server, which gives you the requested file.
now these CAB-files are pocketpc cab files ad are kind of setup programs for PocketPC , so you have to copy the CAB to your pocketpc and execute it there.
You can execute it by putting it in your extended rom, modify the config.txt and hard reset (I hope you know what hard reset means/implies)
or simply by tapping on it in PPC file explorer. In this case the CAB will disappear after installation. But if you have a previous version of Caller_id installed, you best uninstall it first : by editing the registry as explained in the forementioned thread, deleting as much files from the previous thread as it allows you to, soft reset, and delete the rest of the files.
I sure hope you understand all this, because if you don't know what php is, don't know what PPC CABs are, then I would advice you not to mess around too much with your PPC internals.

i know what is cab file.
but i wanted to know weather the file is in zip format cus win zip doesn't recognize it and even when i paste it on my ppc it doesn't install it simply says (there is no application associated with ''caller_id_wwe'' run the application first,then open the file from with in)
sounds like something corrupt during download
clear your internet cache and download again, don't unzip/unrar it, just copy the complete CAB file to your PPC
almost everything is installed with cab, so it would be weird that no association exists. Or during the copying to PPC maybe the conversion went wrong.
I'm really guessing now, just keep trying.

A CAB-file can only run on your device...You have to copy/paste it into your device as is ( my documents or so ) find it using your file-explorer, tap it, and it will install... :wink: hope this helps...
BTW it is not a zip-file. though it looks as if it is on your PC, just FYI...
I have tried tihs and this message i am getting " there is no application associated with (file name). Run the application first, then open this file from within the application"
Help !!

Ohh I know that one, that's Vijay's nice little thingy, well you want them all I assume, so be sure to empty your browser cache, then download this one... http://www.vijay555.com/vj/ToggleToday/VJToggleStuff.cab
Then sync with your device....copy and paste the file as is into your device, in "my documents", disconnect your device from sync, then use your file-explorer ( the default one ) to find the cab file, tap it, and it installs...have just checked it, it works just fine... :wink:

Are you absolutely sure that you copy this file as it is to your device ? and you have not made an attachment to cab. extentions on your desktop, so that it renames the file in transfer ? The only time you will need to click the file, is when it is in your mini, "my documents" folder, not before...!
If you are sure about the above, I mean sure..!!! Then maybe it's time for you to do something serious about your OS, 'cause then you have a problem..
...use cab installer and associate files with it!
...then try to disable the setting and see if system setting is restored
Its now fine, i was doing mistake ....Actually i was unzip the file first then i transfered the file, you mentioned AS IT IS helped me alot.
I really appriciate your help...and THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!!!!
With this small tools,you can specify the folder you want the CAB to be installed to.
Just copy it to you PPC,and run it.You can associate this tools with CAB file so that next time you click a cab on your PPC,the cabinst will take over the rest work in your will.
Thanks alot mate, its really helpful !

I kinda figured that, but you kept insisting that you did'nt... :wink:
and you're most welcome..
Guys, if you're using ToggleToday, it works fine on WM2003 in Portrait at QVGA.
I'm currently working on the "proper" version which is WM5 and VGA and landscape friendly as well... stay tuned.

extraxting a cab file from an exe file

in paticular i want the cab file for MorphGear. how do i do this? I have tried using cabinst but that doesnt seem to do anything
Some ".exe" are extractable with a soft such as "Winrar" :wink:
if that doesn't work then try the following.
1. Remove app from you computer and device
2. Disconnect device from comp
3. Run exe for app
4. When you see the message "this app will be installed on next sync" go to start---search
5. look for *.cab that was created or modified today and is less than 1MB (change file size to whatever value you think is appropriate)
Problem is..
I cant get activesync to work, hence needing the cab file to install morphgear :-(
So I dont think that will work
Any other ideas?

Can you install Activesync tho, dont have to sync just get it to install. If you can than run the morphgear.exe and after it says it will install on the next sync, go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Activesync\ and you will see a Marat folder, the .cab is in there. It will almost always make a new folder and put the .cab of the program you are install into the Activesync folder, if it is not there than it created its own folder under Program Files and the .cab should be in there.
Just because im bored I downloaded this MorphGear.exe
http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/155967-7256/MaratSetupPPC2003.exe
And have attached the .cab that was put into my ActiveSync folder for you.
wow thanks that was very nice of you!
i checked that folder and there was about 10 different morphgear files that id been messing about with! And they worked! Well chuffed i am
Is anyone playing gameboy games on it? On the website listed in the first post the module (MaratSetupPPC2003.exe) leads to an invalid link. But i found it on xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=904167&postcount=5 i installed it but it only wants to see snes roms

hey, i found this program but i cant install it. its showing up as an .exe. Its not an installer package either. please help
Attaching the file to your post or giving us an error message might have helped.
Have you tried copying the file to your Hermes (via activesync or explorer) and running it from the phone?

Agree with the above post, (not all exe files are run from PC).
If you continue to have problems here's another UITweaker to try:
