i've tried to install AIM... and a webcam program.. both of which install through active sync.. however everytime I try I get the following message on my phone...
"Installation of (whatever).CAB was unsuccessful." and that's about all I get.
Also whenever I connect the phone to my PC is says it's unable to successfully syncronize and asks me to reconnect the device.
MS's support site has been less than helpful... any help you all can give would be greatly appriciated....
Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?
Hi,
Couple of things you might consider / try: -
Establish an activesync connection, then use the "explore" button, navigate to your staorage card, and manually copying the .cab file from your pc to the storage card.
Then on the treo go to file explorer, storage card, and run the cab from the card.
The other thing is to check that you're using activesync 4.1 or later - updates are a free download from MS.
Hope this helps
Angus
Thank you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately i've already tried copying the CAB files straight to the device and launching them produces exactly the same result.
I'm also already using Activesync 4.2 latest version.
Is there anything else I can try?
judging from your sig, you're using a pretty old rom version... I would definitly upgrade it and then give it another go...
Hi, all,
As a lot of you did, I got my wing and started to follow Nyer78's post "All you need on your wing" to try to optimize the phone, thanks to Nyer78.
But after I copied the first 6mb pool.cab to my phone and tapped it, I got an error message as the following:
"There is no application associated with "6mb pool". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application."
Could you help me to solve this? I'm very new to XDA and WM, and very eager to see my wing fly.
TIA.
Alan
You don't run the .bat file on ur actual phone.
Plug your phone up to activesync .. copy over the .CAB file and install it. I think you need to soft reset ... then once your phone connects to activesync again, you run the .BAT file on ur PC
Hi guys,
Just got my new Touch Diamond on Thursday and so I'm trying out all the awesome software on here! Except I can't...
I've installed Advanced Config, GSen, and Diamond TF3D Config. I've tried to install:
-DiamondHologram
-TomTom 7 for Diamond (TTN_7.450.9028.cab)
I just get a notification saying "Installation of name of cab was unsuccessful".
I haven't done any ROM upgrades, unlocks. I have only installed the new Google Maps 2.2.0.19 and the .NET 3.5.
Is there any reason why I can't install these applications? It's doing me nuts because I can't install half of these wicked apps!
Thanks guys
James
Can anyone help? Please?!?
Same here... and i'm going mad. Seems this issue affects random cabs. I succesfully installed your same TomTom version, but I can't install G-sensor Calibrate, or even TotalCommander...
I tried to update to Project V3.3 but issue is still there with the same cabs.
Any ideas?
I also tried disabling security warning by using Schap's Advanced Config. Nothing changed.
random
as you said it is a random effect... same prb here.... but i saw something odd...
i downloaded a cab with opera installed on htc and selected "open" when it asks what to do with the file... download complete but instalation unsuccessfull.
i've downloaded the same file but saved it on the storage and after that i installed... and surprise it worked! maybe it is a memory prblm.... i don't know!
this method does'nt work with every cab
Weird thing! I re-downloaded two cabs, moved to diamond... installation succeded. But i still not know if it was because of corrupted cabs or a Diamond problem.
Anyway I'll try to do a simple cab corruption check (try open the cab with a compressor like 7zip wich is free) for the next cabs.
Just for ask: did you download your "cannot install" cab with a download manager?

no... just using opera from the diamond
Same problem here... I have some CABs which dont fail and some which fail... Very anoying problem
I confirm i solved my problems by downloading WITHOUT any download manager or download accelerator all cabs on my pc, then check them with 7zip, then copy to my Diamond and install.
It's a bit strange way to get cabs installed but it's a safe method.
You can also choose to use download managers or download with your pda to download cabs, but you have to check them later if they don't install and... re-download them.
I also found solution which someone could explain....
I upload all SW using active sync and not USB drive and all what was not working now works.
So what is wrong here?

I have the same problem when the device - an o2 XDA Diamond - is connected in "Disk Drive" mode.
Whenever I transfer files from a Windows Server 2003 system (w/o Service Pack) to the "Internal Storage" of my Diamond the files become corrupted on the device.
This happens with any file type, but only with larger files - they become corrupted when they are several megabytes in size.
This doesn't happen randomly, it happens every time.
Reading large files from the "Internal Storage" works without problems.
When I transfer the very same files from a Windows XP system then they are OK on the device.
Also when I transfer the files in "Active Sync" mode the files are OK, but the "Active Sync" transfers are randomly aborted and the sync is lost.
I knew I'm not the only one with that problem, but I never found any information.
The ROM is the newest official one, 1.93.207.2.
Of course the Windows Server 2003 system transfers large files to other flash storages - camera, card reader and other Pocket PCs - without any problems.
My only advice is to transfer the cab to your internal storage using disk drive option the disconnect your Diamond and see if that works. e.g navigate to the cab using diamond file explorer then double tap on cab should install ok then
Sorry, doesn't work for me, but I thought that it was clear. (Because I wrote all info, like Service Pack, etc.)

You dont understand this... The file is corrupted while transfering via USB Drive but OK if we use ActiveSync... We know how to install CAB files. there is not problem.
BTW, I have Win2000 so it might be same as mentioned 2003...
I will try on another system and see how it works.
I just installed Windows XP SP3 on my machine: SAME PROBLEM!!
thedino, what mainboard do you have and how old is it and what is its USB version (1.0, 1.1, 2.0)? I have a K7S5A with USB 1.1.
For now I have to assume that HTC produced crap and that I'm gonna send my Diamond back.
I bought an USB card for PCI and there is no problem when connecting the HTC Diamond to this card.
No data corruption at all.
So obviously it must be something with onboard USB chipsets, but it's definitely a problem on HTC's side,
else these onboard USB chipsets wouldn't work correctly with any other USB device.

I had the same problem (either "installation unsuccessful" or just gets stuck during installation). I was using changescreen v2.5 for handling the display rotation. Apparently this software has a conflict with the .cab installer. It was enough to disable changescreen, then run the .cab, then re-activate changescreen again.
Hope that this helps.

Temporary Fix
Try this
Rename the cab file with a different extension, eg TotalCommander.cab to TotalCommander.txt. Do this on your computer.
Select the file within Windows Explorer and do the usual "Edit -->Copy" to copy the file.
Establish ActiveSync connection with your Diamond and using "File Management" select the Internal Storage of your Diamond. Then select "Paste" to paste the file into the internal storage of your DIamond. Rename the file back to having the .cab file extension by using the explorer shell you opened through ActiveSync.
Unplug Diamond from the USB and ensure ActiveSync on your Diamond is not active. Using file explorer program on your Diamond tap on the cab to install it.
The only alternative is uninstall all extra apps you have put on one by one and try to install other cabs as some of these may conflict with the cab install OR you can update your ROM from the 1.93 series to the 2 series.
Let me know if this temporary fix works. Best of luck.

Simply turn the phone on. Most settings with install automatically.
Read the wiki pages and hopefully these will guide you further
You will need to sync your phone to your pc using activesync and your usb cable which comes with the phone.
Most applications/software will come in either .exe or.cab format. All .exe files are installed from youir pc while phone is sync'd. Just follow the on screen instructions once you open the file.
.cab files are installed directly from your phone. Once your phone is sync'd to your computer via usb cable transfer .cab file to your phone using file explorer then open file on your phone using phone file explorer
Hope this helps
From some days after i download Google Mobile app, then click the CAB file to running and make installation, some thing bad, i can't run CAB file and install it, i try with many cabs but same thing, no cab install, my device is HTC Toutch HD with Windows Mobile 6.1.

is there any error message shown or the phone just didn't respond you?
I guess you have to upgrade to WinMo 6.5 for a better performace and a way to fix that problem
No any respond.

Hi,
You can use this program to install cab files.

You have forgotten to mention was happens when "it doesn´t install a cab". Is there any error message?
There´s no need to wait for WM6.5 as cabs are installable even under WM 6.1.
Btw: I don´t think you will ever get any official version of WM 6.5 for Blackstone by HTC and cooked ROMs with WM 6.5 are available right now

Going to ask a basic query here, but I'm assuming you are trying to open cab file directly from your HD and not on your pc, yes? All cabs files need to be transferred onto your HD first and installed directly by using your file explorer to navigate to saved location and clicking on it.
As stated by Matthes42 above you do not need wm6.5 on your device for this to work. It should work fine on wm6.1
If this is what you are doing and its still not working can your provide the error message you recieve. Also, make sure you have .net framework 3.5 installed on your device.
