Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Please note: This is now superceded by the nag free full release of CABviaActiveSync for Windows XP AND Vista. More details here: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=248516
Guest Zone-MR Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Very nice idea! Saves a lot of hassle when doing frequent installs / developing cabs.
Guest The_Flames Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 works really well, unless you have your program files on any drive other than C: if the system variable %ProgramFiles% is used insted of a fixed path it would avoid the problem. but this error only occures on my strange setup :)
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Yep, that's in the list of things to fixed in the next build, using that exact environment variable :) P
Guest pdtp Posted July 17, 2006 Report Posted July 17, 2006 Just thought it would be helpful to mention that .net v2 is req to use this. dont know if this was mentioned when it was released.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 18, 2006 Report Posted July 18, 2006 CvAS 1.2 uploaded, with support for Program Files directories not on C:, and better handling of provisioning CABs (that cannot be installed via ActiveSync). P
Guest genaldar Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 For some reason it doesn't seem to work for me. I just get a message "unable to install cab". I have an mpx220 and I'm running windows xp 64. The only files I've tried so far have been homescreen installs.
Guest niacin65 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) Just thought it would be helpful to mention that .net v2 is req to use this. dont know if this was mentioned when it was released. Yes, and NOT .net v2 SP1, only version 2.0.50727 which is available here... http://download.microsoft.com:80/download/1/5/d/15d08dfb-38e2-4350-8b4d-cee1f6ffbf4d/dotnetfx.exe you have to remove any earlier .net version first, which may cause some other programs to malfunction, dependant on the version of .net they require.

Guest mcq3000 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 I have windows x64 and this program doesnt work for me, I installed .net 2.0 32 bit and 64 bit and still no luck
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 23, 2006 Report Posted July 23, 2006 A recompile against 2.0 SP1 would be a good idea methinks! P
Guest troilus Posted July 25, 2006 Report Posted July 25, 2006 How about adjusting where the registry key goes so it only shows up when a cab file is right-clicked?
Guest Alexei Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 How do I turn it off? I've downloaded an .msi installer of some software I want to install on my PC, but if I double click it, I get the CabviaActiveSync popping up and attempting to transfer it to my phone.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 CvAS only activates when right clicking and explicitly selecting 'CABviaActiveSync', so you must have accidentally set up the MSI association yourself? An uninstall perhaps. P
Guest worcester4x4 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 I also get the "unable to install CAB file" error Running Windows XPHome SP2 HTC Universal / Win Mobile 5 Any hints anyone? Pete
Guest Alexei Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 CvAS only activates when right clicking and explicitly selecting 'CABviaActiveSync', so you must have accidentally set up the MSI association yourself? An uninstall perhaps. P It's still a great program, but ut's annoying that it seems to have associated itself with all sorts of other files. And I would uninstall it but it doesn't appear in my add/remove programs list, and there is no uninstaller.
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 It should be in add / remove, also a new version that only adds itself to CAB assocations coming shortly. P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 13, 2006 Report Posted August 13, 2006 Version 1.3 coming very shortly with x64 support. Any feature requests? P
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 14, 2006 Report Posted August 14, 2006 Version 1.3 uploaded (link in first post), adding x64 support. P
Guest aphexii Posted September 9, 2006 Report Posted September 9, 2006 Unfortunately i am having the same problem as another member, there is no option to remove the program in Add/Remove Programs. Can you please let me know where the program is located and where it makes
Guest bjhanifin Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Any feature requests? Yes. Instructions for manually uninstalling please.Entry in Add/Remove programs to allow non-technical people to uninstall.If you can provide me with the location of the registry entries, and all of the files this installs, it would be much appreciated. Your tool has been very useful... however, I have now discovered a free competitor which does not give me a nag screen every time it is run.
