Hardware Reset Problems...

Hi,



I'm trying to setup a pocket pc so that it installs a custom application and
recovers all its settings after a cold reset by editing the registry.



I'm almost there except I need some help with a couple of questions.



Q1.

I need to install and run six cab files. These are all embedded in the
\application folder. To actually run these cabs I use the following
command:



CPY FILE:

\application\cabs\netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab >



REG FILE:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Symbol\Startup\Programs\Prog10]

"Name"="\windows\wceldcmd.exe"

"Command"="\application\cabs\netcf.all.wce4.ARMV4.cab"

"Continue"=dword:1

"ColdBootOnly"=dword:1





All the cabs are read-only so they remain in the folder even after they are
installed.



This method seems to work OK except the following cabsdo install, yet when I
open the custom application I get a startup General Exception error:
"SqlceException" so they obviously aren't installing properly.



\application\sqlce.dev.wce4.armv4.cab

\application \sqlce.wce4.armv4.cab



Can anyone help me find a way around this?



Q2.

When I am setting WLAN profile details in the registry, I need to enter in
an encypted key.



My question is: how do I set about encrypting my 26 character key?

Units are Symbol 8846's running PPC2003.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Chris.

Chris,

1. do the sql cab-files install properly when you doubleklick them?
if yes, there must be a typo in your regfile.

2. take a look into the \Platform folder on the device.
In the S24Profiles.reg all network settings are described.
Save the registry of a running device to the desktop and copy and paste the
settings (especially the encrypted WEP key) you need to the regfile.

Hi,

Thanks for replying so soon.

I've tried implementing your suggestions but still no joy with my second
question.

The problem I seem to be having with the encyrption key is that it is 26
characters long, but when I look at the profile settings in the registry,
the encrypted key is 58 characters long as it has been scrambled for
security.

I need to find a way of scrambling my 26 character key so that I can input
this into the registry - any ideas on how to do this?

Any help is much obliged.

Chris

ok, second try:
take your device and put in your key. Now the key is saved scrambled to the
registry of the device. Take a tool like the remote-registry-editor, comming
with eVC++ and save the registry of the device to your desktop computer.
Last thing to do: copy the scrambled key from the saved regfile to your
customized one - done.
