[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] doortodoorsalesman:
I have managed to get some instructions as to how to use this file see below:

__________________________________________________ ______________________

The commands available are as follows:

CAB - Installs a .cab file.

EXEC - executes a program.

XML - runs an XML script.

HIDE - hides or shows the AutoRun program.

LOCK - prevents or enables user input.

CPY1 - copies a file or files

CPY2 - pastes files specified in CPY1

SHOW - shows a bitmap, and

RST - executes a soft-reset.

Phew!

In turn then (please bear in mind, while each command must be followed by a colon ":" - not all are followed by spaces):

CAB: \Location\File.cab - Note, a space must be inserted after the colon, and no trailing spaces should be added. The location can be anywhere, SD Cards are denoted - in all commands - by \Storage Card\. Some have experienced problems where the file extension for the cab file is capitalised, so watch out for this.

EXEC:\Location\File.exe - note, NO space. Other rules are per CAB.

XML: \Location\File.xml - as for CAB. I'd say only use this for now if you know what you're on about. I have an XML I use to re-arrange my today screen and a couple of other bits. Will post it up if requested.

HIDE:Enabled or HIDEisabled - NO space, only Enabled or Disabled will work or the command is ignored. If "Enabled", the AutoRun screen (progress bar and WM Screen) are hidden allowing the user to watch progress. This is useful if CABs require input (like O2 Plus 2.3 or MortRing).

LOCK:Enabled or LOCKisabled - NO Space. Does what it says, locks or disables the lock for user input.

CPY1: \Location\File, followed immediately by CPY2: Location -this copies a file from one specified location to another. CPY2 MUST FOLLOW CPY1.

SHOW: \Location\File.bmp - shows a bitmap. Useless really, unless you completely hate the WM Customisation bitmap.

RST: Reset - performs a soft-reset.

So.....here's a sample SDConfig.txt - it's an extended version of the one I tested with some of the guys.

HIDE:Enabled

CAB: \Storage Card\AutoConfig\MortRing.cab

HIDEisabled

LOCK:Enabled

CAB: \Storage Card\AutoConfig\BTio.cab

CAB: \Storage Card\AutoConfig\BT_Quicklink.cab

XML: \Storage Card\AutoConfig\Auto_Setup.xml

RST: Reset

I still have some questions?

If the cab file normally asks where you want to install it: device or memory card,

will it just install it onto device as default if I use the LOCK:Enabled command?

Just a bit concerned wouldn't want the device to ask for user input but then be locked :-(

Secondly If I use the copy and paste CPY1 and CPY2 comands what happens if you are pasteing it to a folder that has the same file name? Usually it prompts the user and asks do you want to overwrite this file Y/N? If you use the LOCK:Enabled command again will this overwrite the file by default?

Or do you need to enable user input? If you do need to tell it what your chose is (i.e. overwrite the file) is there a way to automate it so it does it automatically?

Thanks in advance, I want to try this on my wifes XDA Orbit, with the Artemis Touch 4.02 Lite rom, but don't want to risk bricking it?

8-)

P.S. the green smily in the instructions should be ":" and "D" together without the quotes

don't know how to show it without it being displayed as ???

Thanks again
