About my Page
In my opinion, Pocket PC's should be
more independent and not only rely on
Desktop PC's.
Imagine the following situation:
You are travelling around with your PPC.
Then you decide to surf threw the Internet
and visit your favorite PPC-Sites. Then you
recognize
that their is a new update for your
installed Program or you recognize that you
forget to install a program before you left home.
You download it with your device, but when
you want to install it, you can't.
Because it's a setup routine only running under
normal PC's. To be able to install those programs
I decided to create this page which has only
Links to so called *.cab or *.zip or *.exe files.
With those you are able to install programs
while travelling around. If you are not able to
install, or the Link is not more valid, please
tell me about it.
Tip 1)
Sometimes when you open a zipped file,
you find a setup.exe file in it including
some *.cab Files.
Ignore the setup.exe and simply copy your
System required *.cab File to your PPC
Start
Menu and run it from there to install.
Tip 2)
A great tool to unzip files has been released.
It is Pocket RAR which is normaly known
as WinRAR for PC's. You find the download
link at my programs page.
If you pre-install this pack-unpack program
on your PDA, you are able to unzip, *.zip
and *.rar files. It is also possible to open
selfextracting files *.exe which normaly not
run on your PDA.
Tip 3)
Before you start travel with your PDA,
make shure you keep a Backup of your installed
Programs with you. When doing a Hardreset, you normaly
loose all your programs installed on your PDA. So what can be
done to reinstall them while travelling around without a PC-connetcion.
After installing to your PDA, check the directory
on your PC. Normaly c:\programs\ActiveSync\
under this directory you find the directories
with the installed programs on your PDA.
Simply select the cab files for your Processor and copy them to
your SD- or CF Card. So you need them you will have them. Try to
create a Exel file, and note down your Passwords Regs etc. to
run those programs and copy them also to your card. maybe you
can Password protect them to be more secure.
Tip 4)
(A Tip from of one of my visitors)
I found a solution to saving .cab files
that open instead of saving:
Download EzDownload, install it, then
go to the web page...long click
on the link to bring "add to favorites" menu.
click it, go to Address (URL) and copy the address.
Run EzDownload & it's already pasted there.
Click download and it's done!
caution: http only, no ftp (yet ?) supported....
