CAB file installation - cant find directory

[Guest Samsonite]

Hello

Can I ask for a bit of help please?

I can install CAB files fine when the download does it for me ( Futurama skin is excellent!) but i cant do it manually...

I have read in a post recently that i need to place the right file into the IPSM directory and then run it ( i have Smart Explorer installed).

I cant find IPSM directory anywhere! Either using ActeSync to browse the phone or with aforementioned Explorer.

Where does it reside? I have the 2.6.1.3 Orange ROM but wouldnt have thought this was the problem.

What am i doing wrong? it's driving me nuts!

TIA

It's called IPSM on the SPV/SPV E100 and Storage on the E200 :wink:

There are two ways to activate the cab file from the SPV.

1 Copy cab to StorageWindowsStart MenuAccessories and then select the cab file name from the Programs Menu.

2 Copy the cab file to (usually) the SD card and select it using Smart Explorer.

Hope it helps :)

thanks martin, i understand now!

what about homescreens and stuff thats downloaded as a zip with no .CAB in the unzipped stuff?

'ppreciate the help

[Guest martin]

Yep, homescreens are usually cab files too (the PC may recognize them as standard ZIP files).

Just copy them the same way as the other cabs and they should install OK :)

nice!! sorted!!

now if i can only get rid of the Futurama screen on the Start menu....

ho hum... back to the skin thread to see if thats been seen before..

Thanks alot for your help

[Guest martin]

No problem :)

Oh! one other thing. If the programs, homescreens etc are installed using cab files then the best way to delete them is using Settings-Remove programs. This will delete them correctly.

The 'extra' bits of the skin may show up in the Remove Programs list as SmartTweak
