Does anybody has Resco Explorer in ext package?
Tried to do it but i miss resco registry and resco ftp.
Thanks!!
What exactly do you want to get? I have it (selfmade).... But it's free for sure....
One more thing - I use OEM regular structure - not EXT (For OsBuilder). It's a normal package - with rgu and dsm.... Registry is a separate cab - you should add it to the package. FTP is a part of explorer - just added features.

Well, in Resco site there is one cab for all the subprograms that are included in the resco 2010 8.10 version.
It is this cab I tried to convert to ext package.Everyrhing works except registry function.
Thanks anyway.
Attached is the app.reg (renamed to app.txt because of forums limitations) file that I use for Resco Explorer with FTP and Registry plugins added.
I didn't clean it up so it also contains the keys and values for the options and settings that I prefer having.
For future reference, I had the same issue as you at first then I used a tool called Kheb to monitor the registry changes that happen when I install cabs and customize everything. Kheb can also make diffs between different registry snapshots and even generate OEM packages based on such diffs.
I did apply your REG file, but Resco Registry not work yet, the problem is a SETUP.DLL in to the Resco Explorer CAB, it contains a secret instructions and I believe that is impossible to open it, anyway I saw some cooks with Resco Explorer and Registry in their ROMs, it's obvious that they know the secret.
I also want to know.....pleaseeeee

Make the package with cab to package software (there is in all kitchens) and then replace the reg and app.dat files with the ones attached and cook it.Works for me.
The idea goes to MusicMonk but his attached file doesnt work for me.
Just use Kheb like MusikMonk suggested; it will capture all of the reg keys that are installed by the setup.dll. You can also look in the setup.dll with notepad and probably see the keys that are installed.
If you're trying to backup you registration info, it's stored in a file in \windows called wmtrigger.dat. All of Resco's registration codes are stored in that file, so if you have several of their apps, that's all you need.

I made a CAB file from the original Resco Explorer CAB, I deleted all files except SETUP.DLL and later run it and VOILA!!! the Resco Registry works !!!!!
Unfortunately I don't need it, I need the secret instructions in SETUP.DLL, I did open it using UltraEdit but I can't find nothing.
try this it should work, but your still gonna need the code as this is not cracked
Thank you, mate, but I found the secret reg keys in the setup.dll file. I used CeRegEditor to create a registry image, later install the cab with setup.dll and I created a image again, and finally I compared the first and second image to detect the differences.
I made a new reg and all works now
Thank you very much mates
fully working resco explorer package
Fixed some shortcuts added rtoday plugin, resco update, task manager that was missing and ftp in previous packages and is attached below.
Of course it needs the usual registration process.

Have you managed to have in built registration code in it so that you dont have to feed the registration key after the installation?

The registration code is in the wmtrigger.dat file in windows folder which is created after registration.
So you have to copy this folder after registration and put it in your kitchen.

All Resco products write registration to one file It's well known for ages and it's no need to discover anything. So if you decide to use several resco products - you should install and register them all and then save the summary wmtrigger.dat - it will be one for all installed Resco-s..... And for sure - system User name should be the same for all your roms - it's also fixed in that file...
One more tip: if you occasionally decide to use cracked resco products - you will get a conflict if you use for example one legal and one cracked program simultaneously in one rom. So better use all registered.

You can use sktracker in your phone.
This program traces the changes in registry and files so if you create a snapshot with the program and then install or register applications or change the options and user settings in applications (you better do it program by program) you can easily find the changes and apply them each time you change your rom.
I apply all mods with sashimi but there are other choices also.

I used to find the registry part of any cab or software by saving the registry and comparing the one before and after with the help of registry workshop on my PC, but did not know that there exists a utility with which wmtrakker.dat"" type of new file creation can also be found out.
Thanks a lot bro!!!
It's very good

Hello professionals ;-)
i have to delete some registry keys during an softwareinstall with a cab file.
Can anybody tell me how to make an installationfile (like *.cab ore something else) deletes some keys in the registry!
whatfor?
i want to install some programs (like pocket plus) and make some configuration during cab file installation. so i looked into the registry what changes when i configurate pocket plus.
as i noticed there where som keys changed i can overwrite with the new values BUT there are some registry keys deleted also. How get them out???
is there any way ??
Have a look at creating a custom setup.dll file to include in the cab file.
You can certainly delete registry entries using it.
I don't know about deleting registry using cab files.
I think there is only options to allow or not to replace a registry key if exists during install.
Here a good link for .cab files Cab files
Apart that you can make your own install from PC to Pocket using RAPI. With that no problem to delete keys, copy files, add new keys ...
want to delete some keys bevore install
Thank's for your tips!

I think you can use the excellent scripting utility called nScriptM to achieve your goal. Simply run a search on this in google and you will come across a number of resources including the download location.

Anyone can suggest a good regedit for PocketPC WM2003SE?
I try PHMRegEdit, but looks like it is for old version of PocketPC.
Thanks
Arto
Registry Editor
Resco Registry from Resco Explorer, last version 5.13, but actually i still like PHM.
I can't even get PHM Regedit to install on my Qtek S100. Looks ok when I run the installer, but nothing is ever actually installed.
As it is still my favourite I have tried a number of times, with hardresets between, but no success.
I believe PHM registry editor is what we called here a "green" software, i.e. you can just copy and paste the exe file anywhere you like and execute it and it will work. So if you have exe file (e.g. from a former installation, a backup or another ppc), you don't need to install it.
Tried again by getting the CAB file instead of the desktop installer. Worked like a charm!
bamse,
Where you put or run the .cab file?
Thanks.
Arto
nowhere in particular : a .cab file ca normally be executed from anywhere...
Are you using cabinstall ? Because sometimes it conflicts with some .cab files. It doesn't work for instance with the icon .cab file of Agenda Fusion : when you click on this cab file, nothing happens... but it's the only .cab file that doesn't work for me...
Hope this helps...
Just copy the cab file to anywhere on your device. Then on the device, open up explorer and browse to the location of the cab. Double clicking on the cab will install it.

After this you don't need the cab on your device anymore so if it has not been automatically removed you can just delete it.
If it has not been automatically removed it means :
- that you're using CabInstall (because miscrosoft standard installer deletes tha .cab file once installed !)
- or that nothing has been installed because of an error

Tried it when I couldn't get PHM Regedit to install but didn't like it. With TRE you can't even search through the registry, right?
Hello All,
Is there a way to strip an installed application from a PPC into an installable .CAB file, if one has lost the installation files/DVD, but still have the application installed on the hand-held.
Thanks in Advance.
Not really.
You can always copy the files out (if you can find them all - some may be in windows folder or places other then the main app folder) but you still would need to know every registry key the app requires.
If you use sktools it tells you all the files installed and registry entries. You could then extract all the files as levenum said and make a cab including the registry entries.
Hi lev
ahh..hhaa !

My experience with SKTools makes me cringe...my ATRE would not stop rebooting until I remove the SD card(where SK Tool was installed and remove it completely.
What software do I need to make a .cab file ?
I will still make all efforts to attempt this anyways....
Ive had no problem with sktools - i always install to main memory. If you manually make your cab then use cabiwiz - or use a commercial app like wince cab manager. Which program are you trying to put together?
cabiwiz enclosed inc example app and tutorials
Funny thing - I was replying to another thread with similar question stating that there would be a problem finding out all the REG keys.
Then jackleung posted about a tool called "ssnap" that supposedly can take an image of the system.
Comparing an image from before and after installation should show all the changes a cab makes.
Since I am not personally familiar with the tool I can't say any more about it.
As for cab creation - while I use cabwiz my self, it is a command line tool and you need to know ho w to write inf files for it.
For a beginner an app like WinCE cab manager will be more comfortable.
It is a shareware, so it will stop working after a while unless you pay but it is very good.
P.S.
Hi Mark
Hello,
I'd like to introduce new registry editor CeRegEditor for WindowsCE, WindowsMobile
It works on desktop PC but operates on PDA's registry.
Main features:
- keys/values create and edit
- fast search
- export/import keys to/from REG file
- create "image" registry with compare and restore service
- free for private and commercial use
- registry compare to CAB or REG files
- open REG/RGU, CAB, HV as regular registry, with all edit functions available
...and many more
link to web site: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl?lang=en
link to software: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe
It is still during test period, but basic features are well tested and stable
It is Polish software but with english interface
edit
If You find any error in the application or mistake in English interface please send an email to [email protected] or write it within thread
nice one! thanks!
It looks very nice! thanks
Hi!
Thanks a lot! The compare service makes it even easier to build OEM packages when kooking ROMs. Great software!
Regards,
PK
nice app.
good tool, many of cookers want to edit the registries using the PC
Nice software I have one suggestion: since this works on the desktop, one feature that would be neet was that if we install a CAB, it detects what's changed on the PPC, regarding the registry. That would be great to know what are the registry keys needed for the instalation of OEM packages!

You can use compare tool embedded into CeRegEditor.
First, create registry image(Images->Create image or F2 key) and after cab instalation perform compare registry, Images->Compare registry. It will show only differences/changes between the image and the current registry
I hope this will be useful for You
Great Work
Great work, sounds cool...thanks !
Yes, very thanks so much!
NIce Progie thanx
New version 0.0.2.2
+ added UNICODE support for export/import data to/from REG file
+ fixed header in REG file. The string in header changed to REGEDIT4. Previous string was not compatible with some other registry tools (WinCE Cab Manager)
+ fixed format of path to directory/file in REG file.
...and some minor fixes
Thank you, I was using Mobile Registry Editor to edit registry directly from Desktop but your app look nice
New version 0.0.3.0 available
Some fixes and new features!
Now, compare tool handles CAB and REG files
So, it is possible to compare registry to CAB file or REG file, CAB to CAB, CAB to REG, REG to registry image, etc.
It's possible to check what changes will be made by CAB before CAB instalation
Update details: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?id=4&lang=en
Download: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe
cool... I will check this out soon.
@mdziedzic, curious how you are implementig the cab compare function... are you just looking at reg entries stored in the cab? Cos sometimes the complicated ones involve self-registering dlls and setup.dll files that make reg entries also. Prime examples of this are voice command, mark all as read, and some SPB apps. For those we always have to do a reg diff before/after cab install to see what the setup.dll did (or see the self-registered dll additions).
I have been wondering if it's possible to write an app that examines a setup.dll to see what reg entries it would create. So far I don't know of any way to do that other than reg dump->install cab->reg dump->compare.
Anyway your app will be very useful! Thanks for your hard work.
congratz.

I think it is not possible! Each developer/provider creates it's individual setup.dll for CABs. Each DLL could has different structure (written in C++ or Pascal). Trying to "decode" setup.dll will be always "guessig"!

IMO, for CABs with setup.dll or exe instalators it's the best metod. In CeRegEditor, just create registry image (F2)-> do instalations-> compare registry with image(F3). After compare You can save differences to REG file

I particularly like the little status monitor...nice touch.
It would be great if you could also map registry files from a dumped rom. This way you could easily extract registry settings from other phones without the need of the actual device. At this moment you still need the phone.
is this possible
this is an old trick that was/is used for older devices to fit WinMo 6 on them
but a side effect is faster application load times
i figured i'd try it on the Blackstone and difference is noticeable
HTCAlbum loads in about 1 Second, before it took about 4
so i'm sharing this with anyone who is interested
The batch file is kept as simple as possible for everyone's ease of use
but this is pretty advanced tweaking, so all common warnings apply
and/or
if you are not comfortable with getting files from/to your PocketPC
and/or
can't figure out how to extract this zip and read the "read me.txt"
and/or
don't know what “any key” is DO NOT TRY THIS!
(read the forum and the wiki a bit more, and you'll gain the knowledge)
Version History:
v 1.0 - initial release
v 1.1 - no icon compression switch added to the batch, for more general compatibility
v alt - here geistteufel has released a new branch of the batch file,
this version uses a different method for packing files and may achieve better compression.
At the same time problems have been reported in the past with this method so all usual warnings apply.

for that you'll need something along the lines of total commander
i wish we could do this with manilia.exe but i tried and failed, it doesnt load, so had to restor it
I'm also having problem removing protection from some of the files :/
I tried to change properties via Resco Explorer, but without succes. As soon as I remove "Read only" attribute and click "Done", the attribute restores itself and I can't overwrite the new files.
I managed to update Yota; GoogleMaps, Nimbuzz and Opera - all load with visible speed improvement.
Tried Total Commander but can't get it to see my phone
It isnt working on the diamond saber. Icontacts and Yota center went well
WAUWW!!! my TomTom is now really fast!!

some files maybe in memory (used by your phone)
a trick to try is
connect with ActiveSync to the phone
browse into windows folder
rename the file you will be replacing (ex. HTCAlbum.exe to HTCAlbum.old.exe)
copy the UPXed version
restart device and test
if everything works delete the ".old." file

to replace all EXE & DLL files would be quite an undertaking
because it's such a trial and error process (manila.exe and mode9.dll don't like to be UPX-ed, maybe many more)

No matter what software I tried, I just can't get to replace the protected system files.

Actually, I have been searching all over forums, but none of the methods described worked for me. Most recommend using Resco or Total Commander, both of which don't work for me. All of the files that have "ROM" attribute simply refuse to be modified in any way.
Thats right. You cannot modify ROM files. You cannot even copy ROM files. You'd have to dump the ROM to PC, which is not trivial. Best to only use this on post-installed programs that are not in ROM.
Interesting: Coreplayer gives me an "already packed by UPX"
Seems they learned this trick before.....
