Okay it says its a cab. While I am very new to wm phones I have been able to install a ton of other cabs.
When I go to install this fist off it doesnt look like a cab it has the name and the windows flag and .rar as the extension.
When I click on it I get the following.
There is no application associated with "s2u2-0.3-WM5". Run the application first, then open this file within the application.
This is supposed to work with WM6 and I know others here have done it. I am just not so bright when it comes to this and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I tried just copying it into the windows folder but that didnt work either.
You have to extract the rar file to get the cab file inside for installation. Pls try again.
thanks
thanks mate works like a charm

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.
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
I have access the to the files through WINRAR and can change the pics with Minila Editor. But How does one package them for install through a .cab file?
i hav downloaded packages_creator5.exe and also have the msceint.exe file in the same folder as i installed the ervius program, but how on earth does one put it together to work?
Please teach me?
Well there are a few ways to create .cab files but one quick method would be to use a program called QuickCab... Very easy to use it walks you though the process, makes life a whole lot easier if you are new to it.

looks promising, thanks, BUT, only that it says "cannot find Cab file, here it is the output from CabWiz:
Windows CE CAB Wizard
Error: Section [DefultInstall] key "CESetupDLL" - file "setup.xml is not a DLL so cannot be used as the special Setup.DLL"
solution? what did i do wrong?
went through installation it but no difference is made, it did not show the 'restart device' either. what is the 'setup.dll file for, where do i find such a file or what are the settings ?

I've done that but it still does not work, I think that it may be the files i selected, should one only place in the files as showed in manilla?
no extra files to be added?

ok... where does it go wrong? on your computer or on the phone?
because you first say that Cabwiz is giving you an error and then you say that you cant install on the phone?
If it doesn't say that you have to restart our phone... just restart it yourself
...and you have .Net Framework 2.0? (on your computer)

I've uninstalled all the clocks and have restarted, going to try again
I've uploaded the file, does it work?
restarted device and reinstalled. still not working
aha .. ok.. now I see your problem...
You can't extract the files directly from a cab file with ex. winrar....
They will end up like this ... '4E6705~1.002'
use package-creator-v2.7 if you want to extract the files from a cab...
you can find it here...

Just run that and press 'Open Cab file'
hello guys, i dont own an hd2 yet but ill buy one this month but i have a question i want to add some cabs file on my device when i get. My question is i have download some cabs BUT when i open the winrar i dont get any cab file, all i get is some files that has bunch of numbers and one of them says "_setup.xml" so what should i do? should i directly put the winrar file on my hd2? since i dont get any cab file inside the winrar?? and if there's a cab file inside the winrar and i press the button "extract here" should i just upload the cab file only to my hd2 right??
Hope you guys can help me.
Thank you.
Hi.
A CAB file is a compressed installer file for mobile phones.
If you open it with winrar, you will see all the files it contains.
Just copy the original .cab file to your phone.
Click on the .cab file, and it will run the installer, and install the program on your phone.
You can choose to install to the main memory or the sd card.
Yeah - as above. What you're calling a "winrar" file is the cab file.
Extract a cab
Ok, I know this isn't the original question but...
is it possible to extract a .cab file - i mean to extract all the different files that make up the program , all the .exe .dll .ico etc etc. Wanting to do this to help me reverse-engineer a couple of omnia 2 cabs that don't work.

Tried that, all I get are 10 files. One of them is _setup.xml, the others are numbered files.
I've attached a screen capture of the files so you can see what they are.

Yes that's what you would expect as they are the cab install files.
If they don't mean anything are you sure you know what you're doing?
That's what I'm trying to find out. I assume that the WM program works in a similar way to windows program in that its a collection of files (exe, ico, dll, cfg so on so forth) that get installed in the appropriate places on the device. If so, how do you 'unpack' these files from the setup files
use a cab manager program. I don't so I can't recommend, but wincecab manager sound familiar. u can use them to create cabs of your tweaks, install files and such.
it seems that you have never used windows mobile (just copy the winrar file into the device and run it from the device)

I'm not trying to install a cab file (which the first post was about) I'm trying to decompile the omnia 2 video editor to get it to run on the HD2 but instead of starting a new thread, I asked on this one because it seemed (partially) relevant.
BTW, I've got the cab 'extracted' so thanks - no for the difficult part...

It sounds like you had first opened the cab file (on your PC desktop maybe?) and are trying to run the setup.xml file inside the cab, instead of the cab itself. Copy JUST the single .cab file over to your phone's card, and click that to run it.
yeah like sirphunkee said, do not unzip the downloaded files before transferring them to your phone.
TRANSFER THE FILE AS IT IS, and RUN ONLY THE .cab files from the phone. No other extensions.
Thanks for the help that is what I was doing wrong I was unpacking them again thanks for the help
