Bennec83's cab-oem

1: Download CAB Manager from Rapidshare or Megaupload

2: Unpack the CABManager.exe and run it

3: Drop your CAB into CAB manager

4: Extract all the files in the CAB, to do this click the icon 3left from the XML button (It has SEL in small letters at the top of the button) LEAVE THE CABManager.exe RUNNING AS YOU WILL NEED IT FOR STEP 10

5: Go into the folder that you extracted your CAB to, there will be an *.inf (* = Name of the CAB), delete it as it is not needed

6: There will also be another folder inside the directory where you extracted the CAB, this will probably be called "Windows" or "Program Files"

These files contain all the files that are supposed to be in each directory on your device. i.e. all files in "Program Files" will get installed to the "Program Files" on your device when you install the CAB.

Never-the-less, these directories are not needed as we want all the files in the same folder, so copy the contents of each folder, into the folder where you extracted the CAB, do this for all folders that were extracted from the CAB

7: Go Here To Generate A GUID. Set it to "Version 4:Random" and press "Get" (It should look something like this - 21f768ec-4901-11dc-8314-0800200c9a66 - I will Note it as <GUID> instead of loads of numbers for ease of typing)

8: Go into the folder you extracted your CAB to, with all the files out of their directories, create TWO new text files.

For the FIRST text file: name it with the GUID you just generated in step 7 and change the file extension from "<GUID>.txt" to "<GUID>.dsm", press yes to the "Change File Extension" Warning

For the SECOND text file: give it the SAME GUID as above, but change the extension from "<GUID>.txt" to "<GUID>.rgu", press yes to the "Change File Extension" Warning

9: OPEN the "<GUID>.rgu" and select "SAVE AS.." select "UNICODE" (Default is ANSI), then go to the "Save as Type" Menu and select "All Files" and select your "<GUID>.rgu" and select "Yes" to the "Are you Sure You Want To Replace" warning

10: Go back to CABManager.exe and select the "XML" button, and a new window will pop up. In the new window select the tab "Registry Keys"

This will show you all of the REG Keys related to that CAB (If there are any, sometimes the software doesn’t need any so there will be nothing here!!)

Assuming that there are REG Keys, copy them all into the "<GUID>.rgu" and save it, REMEMBER TO SAVE AS "UNICODE"

Next you MUST make sure that the following is in the "<GUID>.rgu"

A: TOP LINE MUST say "REGEDIT4" (no ""), followed by a blank line, eg to follow:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Customize]

"Ver" = "1.0"

this must change to:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Customize]

"Ver" = "1.0"

B: Go to the end of the "<GUID>.rgu" and ensure that after the last line of text there is another blank line

AFTER you have edited the "<GUID>.rgu" with the correct things, SAVE IT AS "UNICODE"

11: 1: Download this "option.xml" from Rapidshare or SendSpace

Open the "option.xml" and edit the bits that need editing.

you will see what I mean, as I have created the option.xml to be self explanatory!!!

I hope this helps, if you have any questions PM me
