| Before you work on that, let me play with exporting and reimporting the registry from a working device into the x86 one |

| I've got lost on where we are with this due to events. Did you make any progress with the registry? |

| Is the problem just with the cab install? |

| Right now:
The x86 PocketPC cab doesn’t work (I think it just disappeared)
The cab c:Amie made correctly installs but the exes don’t execute
The cab that I made correctly installs and the cabs execute but something is screwed up with the registry because I can:
Execute any pocketc programs that install via a cab
But I can’t execute any that are just a plain .app file.
This suggests to me that .app files aren’t correctly associating in the registry with the corresponding pocketc runtime exe file
But before we start working on this I wanted to import my registry from my MobilePro to my thin client and try my cab and see if that fixes the .app association issue.
I dunk for bananas: what’s been your experience on what works and doesn’t work for you on x86? |

| None of them. It was weird. (But again I don’t want you to expend any effort, I want to retest everything when I get back) |

| Things are a bit quieter now that there is no drama and half the site isn't broken through re-engineering. We can hit it when you get back |

| Perfect ! Unrelated. Do you know if the Ns Basic CE open source files have the runtime? There’s no official nsbasic for x86.
I tried asking them but they understandably didn’t know given the length of time since they last worked on it. |

The cab didn't work (but that applies to almost any cab ) so I extracted it manually, and what I've just been doing is creating a shortcut to the pocketC runtime with the path to the .app as an argument, which works fine |

| NSBasic: no clue, sorry. Never used it.
.app: sounds like the issue is in the CLI command to the process being used to launch the .app |

| Would copying the registry from a correctly functional arm install or mips do the trick? The VB runtime fiasco I put you through has shown this device is wonky with the registry. |

| Would it be possible to do on-device programm for PocketC on x86?

| On their official website I think I only see runtime downloads for x86
https://www.orbworks.com/pcce/download.html
but I don't see for On Device.
Have you tried reaching out to them? I tried contacting them to see if they can release the keys for us to use (since they no longer offer it for sale any longer ), but no luck. They did reply to my first email when I asked if it was still for sale |
