Hi Sztupy , first , sorry for my poor english . I am a newbie and I have used your fantastic tool ( syakr 0.9 pack 2 ) to make my own custom ROM ; all was fine , with M2D , I have 135 MB free in storage and about 62 Mb free in programs . Now , I would like to go further in customing and be able to install my own apps , like PHM registry , port splitter and somme others ones ; I have read the Xda post about OEM Packages but you said in first post that the software was very buggy . So I tried to use yours ( cab2pkg ) : my problem is , although all versions of Microsoft .Net Framework ( 1.1 ,2.0 SP2 , 3.0 SP2 , 3.5 SP1 ) and VC++ 2005 redistributable and 2008 redistributable are installed on my XP desktop PC , when I drag a cab on cab2pkg , a DOS window is opened but close itself within one second ; what I am doing wrong ? I have tried to create a new folder on desktop , one at the root of disk C , each one contains all the tools packaged in your first post and makecab too

Many thanks for your magical tools and for the great support for all the Omnia Users

Regards , Philippe

Copy all files to the i900 kitchen then run Shell.cmd In the shell run the application (like cab2pkg something.cab) and check what it does. It should report some errors.

Two comments:
1. You have to extract all files from CabTools0.1 cab2pkg uses cabarc to work.
2. cab2pkg uses _setup.xml files to extract the package. Unfortunately PHM registry editor doesn't use setup.xml files, so you have to resort back to ervius package creator.

Hi Philippe Pechabrier (fait gaffe dans tes captures ),

maybe you can try with short filename for your cab file (less than 8 char), and for the entire path too. For example, move everything in a root directory, like c:\I900.

tell us if it works

Won't work with that cab, don't bother.

It ' s OK : by putting the kitchen at the root of disk C , it works with the iContact .cab , a new folder is created in the kitchen

Sorry I' m a pure noob ( but I love to learn ) , it may be trivial for you but I' d like to know whether it's possible , how to do to create a package for port splitter which is not a cab but an .exe that must be installed from the PC

If it's a standard PC isntaller, it should have isntalled the cab file to your PC somewhere. If it's not a standard installer you have to track down the changes the installer does to your device. Here is a utility for this: http://winmo.sztupy.hu/regtree.html Run it before the instal,, then after the install (takes about a minute), then copy the two new dimp files from the root of the device, and check the differences between them (use a diff tool). You have to manually create the registry entries after that though, so it's not an easy task.

Thanks a lot Sztupy , I think I have no time enough to test it tonight , but probably tomorrow . I will send feedback anyway ; once more time , sorry for asking so basic questions , I' have already seen hundreds of threads about it , on Modaco , Xda but English is not my native language , I discovered WinMo four months ago , and although my job is far from this , I' m very enthusiast about learning more and more

V0.2 released with some miner fixes.cab2pkg will now work with InstallDir variables too. (most of the official cabs are like that)

<3 thanks man

[sztupy]

Found a "small" error in cab2pkg which I didn't realise yet. It ceates an .rgu file with this header: "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"

Seems like BuildOs doesn't like this. Replace this line with "REGEDIT4" (or if the registry is empty simply truncate the file)

(thx lastnikita)

Need to mention that there are no new lines after each node.

What do you mean that? I can find newlines

CabTools 0.3 is out

[lastnikita]

just tried it with that cab and I got stuck on "Extractring registry entries"
then, something terrible is happening
my cpu fan goes crazy so I think my cpu is 100% full (and even when I play games the fan does not speed up !)

any idea why ?

edit: ok, this is when using it from cmd line.
for some reason I don't understand (this tool is really acting strange ), it won't act the same if I drag n' drop a cab to the exe (see attached

I give up for tonight
