" not a valid pocket pc app" - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

....thats what I get alot of the time trying to install things like mem maid and skype mobile. Does anyone have any ideas on this one, do I need to unlock something to install as I don't see anyone else on the forum with the same prob. I have the T-mobile MDA if thats relevant.
Cheers.

Most probably you can't run unsigned apps.
Change the xxx101a key to dword 00000001 in security policies in the registry.

Did you download SkypeForPocketPC.exe or SkypeForPocketPC.cab ? I accidentally downloaded SkypeForPocketPC.exe the other day and got the same message. Download the .cab file instead. It's located on the same page. It says something like "For advanced users, download <link>.".

yes .exe installs for pocketpc are always ment to be run from the pc which then
use activesync to copy the cab to the phone and run it

Thanks,
Phil

It does work, give us some more details and let's see if we can help.
How far do you get?
Is it a Cab or Exe?
Do you get any error messages?
etc
Alternative - perhaps Total Commander using the //plugins directory.

Hi,
Okay, that's good news to me, it will work, and it's just me
Here's the details; When I goto http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
to download, I've downloaded the ActiveSync (twice) and the CD Redistribution links and tried installing from within the phone and off my laptop via USB and each time I gotten an error on the phone saying the file is not recognizable. What am I doing wrong here?
Cheers,
Phil

Ok. From this site:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Choose this one from the list:
Pocketpc 2002 2003 arm/pxa
Move the unopened cab file to device with AS explorer function.
Tap it to install. (I have mine installed to SD card)
Mike
I have a really good reg editor here if you need it.
(Got it from.... a tool pack)
Since the upload doesn't allow this type of file... i had to zip it
anyway put it on the device of your htc phone and run it from there.
Note: its not an install, its an actual application
Another good reg editor is resco, and total commander.
(total commander's registry is in the root //)
Hi,
Wow, thanks. That worked without a hitch and I opened it up successfully on the phone. Thank you Mike, great help and right to the point. What did I miss? How would I have known that the 'PocketPC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)' was the file I needed for a HTC TyTNN II with Windows Mobile 6?
No to look at some of those useful edits, after a complete registry back up of course.

Phil

Just for general info on downloading file types:
Many sites offer a choice of different application file types to download I always go for the CAB file rather than the EXE file. The CAB file you install by putting it on the SD Card and tapping it. The advantage is that if you ever need to re-install you do not need your PC, just tap on the CAB again to install it.
For this and most devices nowadays you should choose:
ARM files
POCKETPC or PPC files (not smartphone)
WM5 or WM6 may also be stated. Most WM5 apps will work on WM6 and many WM 2003 apps will also work.
Nearly always if it's an EXE download then this is meant to be opened on the PC with the device connected by AS or Device Centre. Very occassionally you will come across an EXE that has to be put on the device and then run. (these rare files usually have a statement telling you to do this).
Thanks Mike, great info and very useful.
Cheers,
Phil

Please help a new Kaiser owner, Mac-based

Hello all. Just got my phone on Orange and I like it. I have been a Mac-user for the past 12 years so I am used to not tweaking my gadgets. Can someone explain how I install the CABs onto my Kaiser via either my G5 iMac or my intel Macbook. Many thanks
do'h not very sure, but you might want to try the missing sync, grab the latest version, it now supports win5 and 6. basically that's what you need to synch your mac and PDA, but not very sure if you can install 'em through it though
Now how do I find the installed CAB
OK I have downloaded a CAB onto the Kaiser via Missing Sync. (HTC album mui 0419.cab) So how do I now find it on the phone and activate it or any other CAB?
Thanks again
not that hard
I get that you're new, I am too, but try to figure this stuff out by yourself.
Bluetooth should work for getting files onto the phone (my docs/bluetooth)
When you sync to the phone, the PC version is that you see the phone on the schema/folder tree and can choose where to put it.
When you find the cab file, opening it will install it. Generally try to put system specific things on main memory and things like games on a storage card.
Look at some must have threads to find programs that you like and after you figure it out try a hard reset and reinstall things. That will let you keep a stable device.
As for ROMS, I would be careful of even thinking about flashing on a mac unless you find a thread telling you how to do it, you don't want a bricked device.
Remember to search the forums - it's worth your time.
Just mount the kaiser with missing sync. After that, drag and drop the file to a location that you can remember. Once you do that, just go to the file explorer in the kaiser, locate the file, and click. You should be all set.
what about a non-cab files? with an .exe extension, will it be installable trough missing sync?
from what I can remember, Missing Sync is really broken at the moment. (under 10.5).
To install a cab, you just use the tab next to syncronize, what is it, the file tab or somehing?
if it's a .cab, it will be loaded automatically. But make sure there's no spaces/irregular characters on the .cab, otherwise, it won't load the installation, and possibly, the file will not be uploaded at all. I think this is a missing sync bug.
Nope, you're going to have to pull the .CAB out of the .EXE file

I think you need to set up ActiveSync Connection And Run the EXE on your Computer and then it will place and install the Cab on your device.

Active sync 4.5 does not work with Vista, you need to install Windows Mobile Device Center.

google it
try searching google for windows mobile device centre
Maybe get a Mac.

First Step, Get a Real Operating System.
As soon as I can get OpenSync Working on my ubuntu Drake Set up I will no longer need XP
But try downloading Device Center From the Site. I had the same problem where it wouldn't install from the CD either on my old Vista Machine. But when I downloaded it from the website it installed a'ok.
Device Center
I ran across the same issue when I upgraded to Vista. I had to also go download the program necessary for installing anything to my device:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center.mspx
Basically install it, then connect your device to the PC and install like normal. When your done make sure to check your program folder to make sure it is in there.
If it was Handango you got this through, they are usually pretty good at helping with this sort of thing. So if my suggestion doesn't work for you they might help.

Installation

Hi,
Im quite new on this HTC phones.
I have a problem, I dont know how to install software on the diamond.
It opens the files in Opera but it will not start the installation.
Do I have to have any program to install programs on the phone?
I have been trying to install tomtom 7 but it will not work.
Best regards,
Martin
Look on the internet for a cab file of TT7 copy and paste this in your internall storage in the map programmables. Disconnect phone from usb go to the place where you put it and run it from there.
This should work probably.
Grtzzz
I have the same problem too, but only happened while installing .cab file.
Anyone can help? Thanks a lot.
It dosent work.
I found the file here on the forum, I did active sync with my computer, I took the file, moved it the the 4g internal storage of the phone.
I tryed to start it but nothing happens.
Thats the problem i have, it seems that my phone dont want to start the cab files.
Should I just click the file or should I do something else?
Normaly just clicking is enough.
Sorry but are you shure its a cab file its not rarred or zipped.
Have you allready installed other programs this way?
For cab files i do not use activesync to put them on the device i simply do it in storage mode.
Grtzzzz
I found the way, I had to make a soft reset. Then it worked!

how do you update .NET

how exactly do you upgrade the .NET to 3.5. i downloaded it from the microsoft website and it said it wasnt a valid ppc file.
i used the search function (typed .NET and also tried .NET upgrade) i even tried google. anyway basically all i want this for is so i can use the diamond beer app aswell as any other app i might download or create that might need it.
thank you.
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468535
install the correct version... correct file is named
NETCFSetupv35.msi (recommended google search)
Greetz
Boris
P.S. you have to install it to ppc from starting it on PC while being connectet to ppc via active sync!!
thanks so i found this site.
http://microsoft-net-compact-framework.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
is there a way to do this with out the active syn. i havent set it up yet and find it easier to just put it on my sd card and install like every other program.
if not thanks for ur help.
