Hi!
(A response to the cab files question. This is a common question and may be addressed in other threads and sections of this site.
) I hope this helps....
Navigate to
http://www.stumbler.net/
On the Downloads section of the main screen download Ministumbler
This will download the Windows executable: MiniStumblerInstaller_0_4_0.exe
Click on it to run it. This will try to install the Ministumbler software on your handheld. Normally, this should work OK and you should have no problems. However, if it doesn't work correctly for any reason, you can try to install a cab. The windows executible leaves copies of the cabs in the directory
(folder
): C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\MiniStumbler\
(There are 6 cabs in the current version -- a filename example: MiniStumbler.HPC2000.ARM.CAB
)
If you need to install from a cab you must copy the correct cab
(based on your handheld's Windows CE version and processor
) from the directory listed above to your handheld device. You can use the Activesync Explore Method or drop the file into your device's "My Documents" directory.
Finally, from the handheld, navigate to the file and click it! This will run and you will get a typical install dialog on your device.
You should be ready to go!
Note
(a nice option but NOT necessary
): If you set the .cab file to "read only" from Activesync Explorer or Windows Explorer
(right click to get the file properties and check the read only box
) the cab will remain on the device in case you need to reinstall it again - This is useful if you store the file on a flash device and have to do a hard reset on the handheld.
Finally, this method works for most windows / windows ce executable installs. You can find many of the .cabs in the Activesync directory. Also, some sites will allow you download either the .cab or the Windows executable.
