I dunk for bananas was able to get PocketC runtime working by :

OH MY GOD, I GOT IT TO WORK
I copied the PocketC executables to the 204FILES directory from the cmonex site, and it works now! gosh
Unfortunately I can’t get Pocketc runtime to work on my HP t5540 thin client x86. I’m trying the PocketPC x86 3.00 build from the SCL but it seems like nothing actually installed from the cab.
Any ideas ?
Edit: Okay, I extracted the cab. Maybe we can make a new cab installer for x86 CE?
Here's the code result:

| You need imgdecmp.dll and zlib.dll, have you added those? | |

| Okay, I will. Do they go into /Windows
and do I need to register all of the dlls with regsvrce? | |

| You can just put them in the same folder as the PocketC files, and you don't need to register them | |

| Okay so I’ll make a cab installer for x86 pocketc.
Do I need to mess with the registry ?
Or just make those files you mentioned all go to /windows ?
Or where is the default directory where the files are supposed to go?
Also do all Pocketc programs work or is it just some of them ?

| You don't need to do anything with the registry, all CE versions after 4.2 require the extra imgdecmp.dll and zlib.dll since those are no longer included as part of the OS, as of CE 5. The two DLLs should go in the same directory as the other PocketC files.
All Pocket C programs will work! | |

| Thank you!
I finally got it mostly working.
Right now I can:
1-use any PocketC app that has a cab installer
But
2-I can't use any that just use an .app file
So looking at the inf file for the cab installer, it looks like I need to make some registry keys to make it associate .app files with PocketC.
Here's the inf file:

CESignature = "$Windows CE$"

I wanted your help so we could make an official x86 cab installer for PocketC and use HPC:Factor's cabmaker to do so.
So how do I add those registry keys into the cab installer?
Also, unrelated: after this, we can try and make a cab installer for CE 5.0 MIPS too! | |

| Correct I’m fine with one at a time.
PocketC sounds pretty easy since i already got it mostly working. Is there a way to import an inf file into cab maker ? I need those registry keys replicated so I can make an x86 cab. The cab I made works just doesn’t have the registry enablement for .app files themselves
Edit camie you can move this reply into the pocketc x86 thread. I just wanted to make sure you saw it first.

| There isn't an import on CABMaker, but you can add basic type registry settings on the UI.
HKCR,%reg_path02%,Default,0x00000000,pktc_appfile
HKCR,%reg_path03%,Default,0x00000000,pcapp
HKCR,%reg_path01%,Default,0x00000000,"%InstallDir%\pcshell.exe,-112"
HKCR,%reg_path00%,Default,0x00000000,"""%InstallDir%\pcshell.exe""" %%1
All of that is doable in CABMaker | |

| Sorry I know, it’s just that’s kinda gibberish to me. I don’t know how to write those settings into cab maker. | |

| Thank you, I did exactly that in CabMaker, but I still get error that there's no app to open the files, and to run that program first | |

| You want me to use the x86 files from the bottom of:
https://www.hpcfactor.com/scl/1068/OrbWorks/PocketC_Runtime/version_...
and apply the above registry settings?
Is that it? | |
| | |
Subscribers H/PC Guru Posts: | 5,713 |

| Correct but I couldn’t get it to associate with the settings you had marked
So maybe you can copy the settings from the hpc2000 arm pocketc runtime and use them for the x86 PocketPC cab. Maybe there’s a registry difference between ce shell and ppc shell?
So basically:
Extract inf from the hpc2000 build for the registry
Use that info for the x86 PocketPC build
Rebuild cab
(There is not x86 HPC2K build just ppc) but that program does open on x86) | |
