Genius 0.19

Dear All,
I have developed my first PocketPC game (see attached). It is similar to Master Mind but using numbers. This is the way we play it in Iraq
I would like some help in making an installation that automatically create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games. I am planning to publish the game as a freeware.
I am using VB .NET 2005 (.NET FX 2.0) so if I can include the re-distribution libraries that would make it easier for users, else I may need to point them at a link.
I used 2 different installtion builders but both only copy the CAB file to the Program Files but not make a shortcut for it. I have an *.inf file and haven't used the command line setup builder yet unless I have to.
Any easier way please?
ThanQ.

Release : Initflashfile Editor+Builder

Hey all..its me again with a new App..Initflashfile Editor+Builder..Every thing is coded in C#
There are two Purposes of this Program :
1. To Build an initflashfile
2. To Hex Edit the Initflashfile and Remove the two extra bytes added by Notepad
Installation :
After you download the Program..there will be a Setup Utility..run it and make sure You DONT CHANGE THE DEFAULT INSTALLATION LOCATION as my Program will look for the files in C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\
a Shortcut will be created on your desktop
Requirments :
To speed up the app and use less resources i used .Net Framework 3.5
so you all will be needing .Net Framework 3.5 ( many computer have it now adays )
Instructions :
Once you fire up initflashfile editor+builder from the Desktop..you will see a windows with four Images on the right hand side..they have been labled..
Press the build button and my own initflashfile builder will start ..open a new document and when saving it save it to C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\ by the name of initflashfiles..now exit the Builder and Press the Edit Button..my script will run and it will remove the two bytes
MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE INITFLASHFILE IN THE
C:\aher\initflashfile editor+builder\
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because the script will look for it there only

[Q] Decompiling exe (reverse engineer)

So i'm not familiar with creating programs at all.
I can create cabs using WinCE Cab manager that can add/edit/move/rename files and registry entries.
I found a cab and i want to know exactly what it does before i install it. I asked the author and he keeps dodging my request. I opened up the cab with WinCE Cab Manager and it installed a file (exe) and created a shortcut.
I've extracted that exe from the cab and now i want to know whats the next step i take.
I've googled and come up with 2 microsoft sites about programming for windows mobile. One utilizes .net the other visual studio.
I'm probably gonna need visual studio right? I'm having trouble downloading a trial right now from microsofts site but is my assumption correct that i'll need to use visual studio?
Any pointers would be great.
Sorry,
Wrong post.
Dear admin, please remove this post.
Thanks.

Flash support: SWF Research...

I saw this since beginning. Few Apps are Flash *.swf files.
Since bada SDK 1.2 it is easily possible to create own App with *.swf file included.
The path to *.swf file is in:
...\Res\480x800\IDF_FLASHFORM.xml
contentsPath="/example.swf"
Idea 1.
Any way to change path to SD Card...
So via rename you could play Flash Games...
Idea 2.
Someone would be so nice to add filexplorer or integrate other path to *.swf file.
Best Regards
... the file that you attach is 8530 but does not work on 8500 ... because
Not sure what you exactly mean.
Attached is Document in Adobe Acrobat *.PDF Format, taken from bada SDK 1.2.x
x because I have forgotten if 1.2 or 1.2.1.
It is very easy to compile this example and try at S8500.
I could upload...
Problem is, that at the moment only 2 ways are known to install Developer signed Apps...
1.
With bada SDK.
2.
With Broker.exe from bada SDK... you need to edit an Batch *.bat file... to fit exactly your paths.
Best Regards
Action Script is hard ...
But why not modify some Lockscreens for instance?
You could replace Graphic...
Not mandatory to test on handset... you can play with bada SDK.

SFW player for bada ---> http://www.badapps.ru/5476-swf-player-proigryvatel-swf-faylov.html
I have both Versions...
Also App called "Flash Player"...
Both can't use Fullscreen/Rotate...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Found... it is not free...

I think Flash Player was first Version and he needed to change Icon... and name... to bypass QA...

Deploying my first app into the market

I would like your help posting my first app into the market place.
The comments M.S. team make for my app was:
Comments: Result: Fail
The application's UI text and long description are not localized to the targeted language "English". Instead, they are
displayed in "Greek".
The app is in Greek and its created by the Microsoft Studio App website.
The problem is that this tool creates the app with Eng. localized lang.
I have the source of the code and I am changing all the code from en-US to gr-EL but how can I compile the folder to a XAP file again?
I have download the Virtual Studio 2012 at my computer can I do that from there more easier and HOW?
Please provide me with details, steps to complete the app.
Thank you.
This is a request for help, and rightly belong in the Q&A forum. However...
What you downloaded from the app studio site should have included a Solution or Project file (or both). Once you have installed the WP8 SDK on your computer, you will be able to open those files (Visual Studio should handle them automatically). To build the XAP, just use the standard Visual Studio build commands (BUILD menu or toolbar) and say "Build Solution" or "Build <project name>". The XAP will be placed in the project output folder, same as an EXE of a Windows app would be.
