Guest alhabibam Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi everyone, Can anybody tell me how to create the .cab file for a created project (setup file). I have tried the (build cab) button but it always fails, I don't know if I am missing something.. Can any one help me in that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi, Can you attach the ini file you are using? EDIT: You can visit the FAQ Section. There is a CAB creation guide there. I hope that helps. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nedge2k Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Build cab button? You just drag your inf file onto the "cabwizsp.exe" file and it will make the cab ;) Here's the inf file i used in my Longhorn theme ages ago, it shows u pretty much everything you would ever need (apart from start menu links): [Version]Signature = "$Windows NT$" ; required as-is Provider = "nedge2k" ; maximum of 30 characters, full app name will be "" CESignature = "$Windows CE$" ; required as-is [CEStrings] AppName = "Longhorn 4015" ; maximum of 40 characters, full app name will be "" ;

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I believe the C500 RAI values are the same as that of the XPII. Take note most of the values are from midnight's Home Restore CAB for Smartphone2002 but the same CAB file works on my C500 (SP2003 SE). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iRidiumX Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 yea.. the values are almost the same.. just that midnight's version did not have MSSyncApp and afew others so it did not restore my phone completely to defaults.. so I'd be greatful if someone would guide me on how to write the inf and to compile it to a cab file. Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 You need: Cabwizsp.exe, makecab.exe, cabwiz.ddf = all included in the Smartphone 2002/2003 Software Development Kit (SDK). You can download the SDK from Microsoft.

An equivalent 'restore.txt' should be present inside the folder where you have the cabwizsp tools. Drag the INI to cabwiz.exe then you'll get... HomeReset.2K3SE.CAB I just added 2K3SE to the filename, still credits to mid for the 2002 CAB file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iRidiumX Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) cool. thanks alot dude! You reply real quick. ;) i'll give it a try. By the way, in the ini file, i see [AddRegistry]. Do you happen to know if I wanted to remove a specific key from the registery, do i use [RemoveRegistry]? The ini looks kinda complicated. I would need some time do undrestand what each code does. And eh.. the segment you quoted doenst look complete. Would you mind sending me the full ini please? One more thing, How about the xml file? Is it of any use? Sorry for asking so many questions. I just had my XP2 for 6 days. Still very new to it. :D And thanks again, you're of great help! Edited June 5, 2005 by iRidiumX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 No problem. Happy to help. ;) Lets take for example 'BrandingBox' key. It has 3 sub-keys: KEYS ------------- TYPE ---- VALUE DATA BKBitmapFile ------------- REG_SZ ---- \Windows\branding.gif BKBitmapTransparent---- REG_DWORD ---- 0x00ff00ff (16711935) BKUnselected -------------REG_SZ ----- COLOR_alertWINDOW Reg_sz means a String data Reg_Dword means a Hex/Dec data So translating the above info, it will correspond to ... of our INI file: HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:BrandingBox","BKBitmapFile",0x00000000,"\Windows\branding.gif" HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:BrandingBox","BKBitmapTransparent",0x00010001,16711935 HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:BrandingBox","BKUnselected",0x00000000,"COLOR_alertWINDOW" To remove say for example, BKBitmapFile, just delete the corresponding line then save your file. Once satisfied with the INI data, do the dragging to come up with a cab file installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a complete INI file? You can try the attached CAB file above and see if it works. ;) One more thing, How about the xml file? Is it of any use? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For reference purposes. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 What I am explaining above is CAB File Installation. You can also do a CAB provisioning. You deal with structures like... <wap-provisioningdoc> <characteristic type="Registry"> <characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings"> <parm name="SMSNoSentMsg" value="1" datatype="string" /> </characteristic> </characteristic> </wap-provisioningdoc> Cab file installations write reg data plus you have the option to uninstall it. Cab provisioning writes registry values but I think you cannot revert to pre-tweaked registry state. Nothing to uninstall. why? Because you do not have the 'InstallPhase' command. Cab file installation sometimes inlcude: [CEStrings] AppName="MY APP NAME" InstallDir="%CE1%\MY APP NAME" The InstallDir code allows the end user to choose target location during installation process (Phone or \Storage Card) %CE1% is an example of a WinCE macro. The entire code above translating to: \Storage or \Storage Card\Program Files\MY APP NAME ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once satisfied with the INI data, do the dragging to come up with a cab file installer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> May I know why is one 0x00ff00ff and the other 0x00010001? You mentioned to remove BKBitmapFile, delete the corresponding line. Do you mean delete the whole HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:BrandingBox","BKBitmapFile",0x00000000,"\Windows\branding.gif" or delete the 0x00000000,"\Windows\branding.gif?

Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Yes. Delete the entire line for BKBitmapFile. HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:BrandingBox","BKBitmapFile",0x00000000,"\Windows\branding.gif" Doing so, your CAB file won't write or alter the value for BKBitmapfile. Why 0x00ff00ff (16711935) ? 00ff00ff = Hex Base 16711935 = equivalent Decimal Base ...both part of REG_DWORD Value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
