How to change standard folder for installations? - MDA Compact II General

Hi!
I`m so lucky I found this site and first of all my very regards to the touch-flo developer(s) it works just great on my charmer!
My question is how can I change the standard destination folder when I`m installing stuff?
When executing a cab on the storage card, it always installs to "Program Files" and during installation of an exe via AS the option "always install to standard folder" is not available...
Thanks in advance and keep up this excellent site!

ok since noone is answering this seems to be a simple registry issue, right?
Might anyone just say "yes" or maybe even post the exact location of that value?

I cant find my "Running Programs"

I just hard reset my magician. Since i'm using big storage (my friend did it), only some of the cab files from extended_rom are installed. Now i just found out that my smart dialing, MMS, O2 plus are not included. It was easy to recover those programs since i know the cab files.
However, i cant find the right cab for "Running Programs". Does anyone know which one? Thx.
Sorry for the bad language
Running programs - do you mean in Settings > system > memory > running programs?
If you need a task killer I can send you one or there's many around.
V
That's the one. Thx . So actually it's not a stand-alone program. Yes i found the running programs.
So, the question is changed now. I need the shortcut to that program. Usually magician has the blue box icon with a picture of someone running. Do you know the shortcut?
Thx.
Just tried to restore that icon from my old backup before it crashed. I thought it was just only a link to some program. But it is not! It is an exe file and after i restored it, click the Running Programs, it says "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename".
Any clues?
My Running Programs app is in the "default_103133" CAB file from my Mini. I run this file after hard reset.
What does that file do? Just open up the running programs control panel?
If you need it back, just type the following into a text file on your PPC
Code:
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
and save it as Memory.lnk
Then double click on that file.
Tell me if it works ok.

@vijay
i just wanna return my magician to the default system . that's why i'm so curious to get back that program.
@ampda
i'll try that file. thx for the info.
I can post my CAB file but it will also add the O2 xda defaults that can with the Aussie unit

Thats right....just install that cab file "default_103133.cab" and you will have your Running Programs app back....that is, if you saved your Ext ROM files before doing the Big Storage patch, or someone can attach that cab file here.
Now my problem is (sorry this might be Off-topic) , how can I have back the AUTOCONFIG for different Telcos, (especially Asian) ? Its also gone after the Big Storage patch. I dont know which of the cab files I need to have it back
anyone have idea or is there a forum for this in Magician?
thanks...
THANK YOU!!! finally i can access my running programs.
anyway, ive another question . let's say i want that program to be installed automatically after I hard reset. how can you do that? so i do not have to restore them manually from my sd card. thx.

To get the menu and icon run O2Auto.sa.CAB, then install the telco(s) you want to be in the autoconfiq menu.
@nsriza, thanks!!! As simple as this, and I can have my Autoconfig back already?
I thought I need to manually edit the autoconfig.txt to change the paths of the cab files?
Btw, I have already installed the cab files for all the Telcos that I need....but not the O2Auto.sa.CAB yet. Is it okay if I install that O2Auto then install again the Telco cabs?
Thanks...
So has anyone knew how to setup auto installation for cab files (eg. MMS, SmartDialing etc) after hard reset? thx
another OOT question...what does autoconfig.txt and config.txt do? and how to use it?
thx
Im assuming your asking for auto installation for after a hard reset using big storage. if you search for "AutoRUn" on this forum you should find a link on how to create an autorun folder on your storage card. you need the autorun.exe (Found in the search for the link) and a folder called 2577 created in the root directory of your storage card. then all you need to do is add all the CABs that you want to auto install after a HR to a ZIP (not Rar) archive and call that archive extROM.zip. then put that in your 2577 directory and hardreset and it will install all the files in the zip. if you havent already installed the cabs you put in the zip it will actually start installing them as soon as you insert the SD card. have a search around you will find lots of info about this subject.

@Speedn
thx for the suggestion. it's very helpful.
@rockafeller
hi i used big storage to convert my german rom (o2 xda mini) to wwe 1.12. now i lost some features like MMS,Smart dialling, Home zone control, O2plus. (as it was the case with you). It would be great if you could share here how did you get them back to work? i mean, i want the procedure to do so. i have a backup of my german rom.
one more question. i dont see the Phone pad option in my text input list after the bigstorage patch. how can i get it back. any suggestions would be so great..
thanx in advance
kk
@visvaram
if you backup ur extended_ROM, u should able to find related cab files, such as MMS**.cab, SMARTDIALING**.cab. Just tap those files and it will be installed automatically. FYI, backup ur cab files first b4 installing.
Im not sure about O2plus and zone files. Anyone care to help?

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"

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 !

Guys, if you're using ToggleToday, it works fine on WM2003 in Portrait at QVGA.

Newbie :how to modify cab

Hello,
I was wondering if there was any way to modify an existing CAB so that at beginning of installation it prompt you for destination (internal or storage card)
I have installed many cabs with this choice at the beginning but some others don't have it and it is important to me to save space...
Is it something to add in XML file?
Thanks

I think using WinCE Cab manager you can alter this.
How?
I have downloaded WINCE CAB Manager but don't know where to set this up?
Could anyone advise? or any other solution?
This is quite useful for all of us Ii suppose as it can save space on our internal memory (and we all know we dont have much

Once you have installed WinCE cab manager (on a PC), open the cab file with it.
For each of the files within the cab, you'll need to change the install location. Right click on each file, and select the relevant option.
Make sure that you keep the relative path the same! (perhaps just add "\Storage Card" to the front of each path.

(Maybe) UC v3.0 - Get the BEST from user customization!

Ok, i was bored about rewriting sdconfig.txt everytime i changed the romlanguage, so i decided to make something that will avoid this, and will avoid to write the sdconfig.txt too
What are the main goals of my project?
Install everything you want without careing about romlanguage
automatize every process
How it works?
Simple. Put your cabs/exes/provxml/xml to import/run in your storage card folder "FB_Install"
Ok. You said that I can install exes, but if i need to add arguments to the execution of the file?
Simple again. Create a file (as an example, if your exe is "myexe.exe") naming myexe.arguments. in it write your arguments. You can use the arguments only on exes.
Well, and if i want to skip some files?
Just create (as an example, if your file is "mycab.cab") a mycab.skip file. This works with all types listed here (cabs, xml,provxml,exes)
Well, i need to hide the customization while I install a cab. How to do that?
Again simple. If your cab is mycab.cab, create a file with name mycab.hide
And if i want to don't reset at end?
Create a file with name "NoResetAtEnd"
Ok, i have that folder but right now i don't want to install anything. how to do that?
Create a file with name "SkipCustomization"
Ok. That's nice. But how i can add my own config codes as i done on UCv2?
Create a file "AddToConfig.txt" and add there your config codes. this will be appended after the other config codes generated by the program.
I want to create some shortcuts. How to do that?
Create a Shortcuts.txt containing the shortcuts to create. You have some IDs:
%SD%
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%
%PROGRAM_FILES%
%STARTUP%
%MYDOCUMENTS%
This will allow you to create an universal shortcuts.txt without careing about language.
Each line contains a shortcute to create. Example line:
%PROGRAMS_STARTMENU%\Test.lnk:%SD%\myprogram.exe
this will create a "Test.lnk" in \windows\start menu\programs folder pointing to \Storage card\myprogram.exe (that for wwe).
I want to copy some files in the windows folder. How?
Create a folder in FB_Install called "CopyInWindowsFolder". all files there will be copied to the windows folder. You can do that for Programs,Favorites,Fonts,Startup,Program files folders creating folders:
CopyInWindowsFolder
CopyInProgramsFolder
CopyInProgramFilesFolder
CopyInFavoritesFolder
CopyInFontsFolder
CopyInStartupFolder
I want to install some cabs to storage card instead of internal storage. how?
Just create (as an example, if your file is "mycab.cab") a mycab.ToSD file.
I will include that feature on my future ROMs, but if someone is interested i can release it here.
EDIT: yes i know that noonski done something similar but i was searching about something integrated
Nice idea. Good luck.
One thing though. There might be a clutter of files created but users which can get confusing? How about just parsing one file with all directions?

Well, i can say i now i got it to work. Requires a bit of work but it works. Well, visual studio is EXTREMELY powerful
Looks really good, I really like to try this UC
This is also a nice tool
finally got it to work right.
Now it can install CABs to storage card without problems
I want that in my ROMs too. Can you share it here?
solved problems on installing cabs too. The installation dll will NOT be executed so you won't need to care about user interaction while installing
Definatly interested in checking this out since it can install to storage card.
hope u make it available..

well that's something for cooks not for users (it needs to be cooked in to work) so if i release it you can't use it at least when someone use it in his rom...
To me it looks like MrDSL is a cook. The ROM linked in his signature is made by him.
Are there any news? Will you release it here soon?
A powerfull alternative;
Will it get released? I'm eager to test it Virtually in an Embedded WM6 environment;

[APP] (20/08/09) HideFolder - Show/Hide Folders in HTC Album (CAB)

Update
I have now created a CAB for the script.
It will install a link to the program in Programs under the Start Menu.
IMPORTANT: You need to have MortScript installed. There is a CAB in \Program Files\HideFolder. If you already have MortScript you can delete this CAB.
The new cab is at the end of this post.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hiding folders from HTC Album has been discussed elsewhere, maybe for different reasons than mine !
When I select 'Storage Card' a list of folders appear that have no interest to me and do not contain any images that are mine.
I have written a script that allows you to Show or Hide folders from HTC Album. I included the ability to 'Show' folders in the event that you may want to temporarily hide a folder but re-enable it at some point.
You need to have Mortscript installed on your device !
Unzip the file and copy to your device.
When you run the script you will be given a choice whether you want to:
1) Show a Folder
2) Hide a Folder
3) Exit the Script
When you select Show or Hide you will then be asked to select the folder.
If you select Show: A previously hidden folder will be enabled (If the folder is not hidden you will get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
If you select Hide: The selected folder will now be hidden from HTC Album (If the folder is already hidden you wil get a message informing you of the error)
A confirmation message will be displayed and you are done.
I've run the script in as many combinations as I can think of and all seems to work, please let me know if there is something I hae missed.
CAB Now available see above.
Thanks for such a necessary utility, I was actually looking for this for some days now...I needed this... you know to hide some things when your is taken over by some enthusiast who wants to check out everything in it and occasionally press wrong links....
This app. does its work what it supposed to do but I have Resco photo manager installed the hidden folder is visible in this photo manager...is there a way it could be hidden to resco as well.
great,
is this also possible for HTC Music Player ß
I don´t want to see my ringtones and others on the SD card.
