1. Yes, it has only ever occurred during the storage card process.

2. Yes, it is has been occurring in v.7.0, too.

3. In v.7.0, the error has occurred twice installing cingular_ppc_cert.cab. Version 6.5 has died on LiveSearchWM6.CAB and TCPMPflvplugin-v0.4.2.cab. The LiveSearchWM6.CAB is listed listed twice when it fails on two separate occasions.

There has been one occasion on v.7.0 where I interrupted the storage card install process myself, because the script stopped selecting the storage card as the install destination.

There was also an occasion, on v.6.5 (I think), where it failed after installing several SPB games. I think the problem there might have been that there there were several SPB language selection windows still open.

Hope this helps. :o

Hi dobbeltseng,

I'm wondering why you'd use UC for this, this (the exec and cab) can better be done using Sashimi (by adding them to Auto\EXE and Auto\CAB). Then again, before Sashimi I've used UC and that worked fine. Here's what I had setup (off-topic, this should be about Sashimi only, there's many other threads for UC):

1. Create SDConfig.txt (not sure whether it's case-sensitive, that might be your problem?

2. My SDConfig starts with "LOCK:Enabled" - maybe that's required?

3. It executes apps using following command : EXEC:\Program Files\TaskMgr.exe \Windows\defaults.reg

4. CAB: \Storage Card\_CABS\KaiserTweak\KaiserTweak.cab

5. The CAB and EXE section ends with "LOCK:Disabled" - maybe that's required?

6. RST: Reset - this reboots after installing the above...

Regards,

Nika.

Hi Bengalih,

Not sure, but maybe you can use this to copy entire folders & overwrite RO files?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2322559&postcount=709

I am not sure whether it overwrites, but asked Dave in the UC-thread to let us know...

Regards,

Nika.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Yeah, this is really a UC issue...but since you are using it with SASHIMI, we'll help out ;).

I think the problem is that you are using a Diamond. I don't believe that UC works with Internal Storage.

I did a quick search and couldn't find any information that it did, and the UC thread doesn't list

any

UC capable ROMs for the Diamond.

So, you might be out of luck...but I would post in the UC thread for specifics on that.

And, like Nikalg said... if you are using SASHIMI in the first place, you might as well be using it to do your CAB and EXE files natively...the UC component is really just there for completeness...but SASHIMI should be able to do everything from it's Auto/Manual directories.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
I'm 99% sure that doesn't deal with read-only files.

Also, there really isn't a need because SASHIMI was really already doing what that is doing natively with MortScript.

I have adjusted the code to do what I wrote of above. Namely, when copying a Root folder it will enumerate the files in the Root folder, and then look for a matching file in the destination and reset the readonly attribute if on.

This should mean that if you have a \Root\Windows with 10 files in it, it should only have to touch those 10 files in \Windows, and not every single file.

It seems to be working fine, although I need to test it a little more before I put it out in the next update.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Or with the regexport.ini file of SASHIMI :).

While it is probably quicker if you just need to export once to use TaskManager or another reg editor, if this is a key that will ever change and you want to ensure it is backed up, then putting an entry in the regexport.ini file will allow you to custom export it quickly.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Ok, thanks for the info.

As I describe in an earlier post, this behavior is caused by a race condition of one thing happening out of sync with another.

To quickly re-explain: I test for the existence of the Window before I attempt to display it. This should prevent the error of it saying it can't be found. However for some reason it is detecting the window and then the window is gone. This would have to occur within milliseconds (or less).

I have reworked the code a third time and hopefully this will help. I have never been able to create this error myself. I have download LiveSearchWM6.CAB and am going to install it like 20 times sequentially to see if the error appears for me.

From what you are saying about the SPB, and possibly other CABS...

You really don't want to be installing any CABs during the SC install phase that open up additional windows or do anything other than just install. Any additional prompts, etc may confuse the automated SC process and have a good probability of causing problems.

With all that said, I have implemented an Auto-resume feature that seems to work pretty nicely. I need to do some more testing before putting it out there with the next update.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] djfujiyama:
Nika,

Thanks for the help, man. I really want the reg settings to every little customization i do on my phone so that SASHIMI can literally take a brand new flash and restore ALL of my custom settings. I was hoping to find a huge XML file or something with all the settings. In fact, it's kind of hard to believe that Windows itself (Vista, XP, etc) doesn't have a giant XML file with all your settings. 20 years of Windows and we still have to spend 3 hours after a fresh install, customizing all of our preferences. :(

Here are some of the things i'm looking for:

button settings

Input settings

Lock settings

Menus

Owner info (done)

phone settings

Sounds/Notifications

Today screen

MSVC options

backlight

clocks and alarms

power settings

regional settings

screen settings (done)

spb mobile shell customization options

spb phone suite options

spb pocket plus (has its own settings backup/restore)

wifi settings (hotspots, wpa passphrases, etc)

Pocket outlook sync settings (what exactly to sync, sync options, etc)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Quite a few of these settings have already been listed in this thread. If not, a quick thread search will find them on the forum. I probably see 5 questions a week on backlight, clocks and alarms, power settings, and spb.

As far as wifi and outlook. Makisu will create the XML file for you that will import all these settings. Version 1.3 will be out this weekend which supports more config settings for wifi and e-mail.

Also, please realize that if Microsoft took everything out of the registry and put it in a "giant XML file", then instead of searching a giant registry to find all your changes, you'd be searching a giant XML file!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] nikagl:
From another thread:

Hi Mumboender,

You are mixing up two things - xml files are used for provisioning data like GPRS account, WIFI, mail-settings and such. It is possible to create XML's for registry settings too, but with Sashimi it's possible to directly import registry settings using a reg-file. See attached the file that you should add to your "Auto\Reg" folder and the Aku=.0.4.2 will be added to your device automatically with every Auto-Run of Sashimi.

I'll add this too the original Sashimi thread too, please post questions to that thread only...

Regards,

Nika.

[req] configuration installation template

Hi, let's say we have the following scenario:

- RomX Lite, RomX Soft, RomX Fully Loaded;

- Loads of cabs, xml's, etc etc in Sashimi folders.

It will be posible in the future versions to choose which files to process and save that information in a file and after flashing, depending of the rom distribution to select a certain installing template?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Unlikely I will code anything to this specific.

However, with 7.0 I allow the option of multiple INI settings files.

So, what you can do is create say 3 directories (ROM1, ROM2. ROM3) and in each of those create folders for your CABs, XMLs, REGs, etc. Then create/load the settings.ini file that points to the appropriate set of directories.

The only drawback here is that if there are files that you want in all, you would need to have a copy in each location. Since a phone's memory is less than 100MB and a storage card can be 8GB or more, space isn't really much of an issue.

You could also create a "common" folder and run SASHIMI twice, once with the ROM specific ini file, and again with the common.ini file.

I believe that functionality should be sufficient for people who are using SASHIMI and want to have more than one configuration.

Works also on 320x320

Hello,

first many thanks for this great application!

I wanted to use it on my i780, but the startup diagnostics told me that SASHIMI would not run on my screen resolution of 320x320.

So i digged into the code of SASHIMI.mscr and searched for the lines identifying (and later using) the screen resolution. After comparing some screenshots of my device with ones taken from the WM6 emulator running at 320x240 it showed that the 'screen coordinates' used for 320x240 screens also work on my 320x320 resolution (note: I'm running EFN's ROM at 96dpi - things might be different at 128dpi).

So, I modified the SASHIMI.mscr to include a check for 320x320 at 96dpi, and - if both are found - successfully pass this test. One could of course also simply skip the diagnostics, but then the AUTO mode won't work ;)

I'm adding the modified SASHIMI.mscr - it has to be copied to '\Storage Card\SASHIMI\BIN' after installation of SASHIMI.

Just posting this in case other i780 users also want to use your great tool.

Thanks again,

Stefan

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Thanks for the effort. However in the future I would prefer that changes to the application be requested in the forum. You may post code changes for my review, and I will include them if deemed appropriate or revise the code for better integration.

I would rather not have unofficial versions posted, specifically in this thread as it will make my job of support more difficult.

If you wouldn't mind removing the attachment, i have already downloaded it. I will review the code and integrate it into the next release if I don't see any problems.

thanks for your contribution.

how do i make this restore my PIMbackup file automatically? or do i have to do it manually when i go into the tools menu?

also....is there anyway to lock the device in the Auto portion? i dont like seeing my screen dim right now, and i'm afraid its gonna fall asleep while it installs about 40 cabs...should i be worried?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] t0mmyr:
wt*, so im still in the auto stage of my cab installs and it started running googlemaps and livesearch by itself just after it installed it and it took me to their accept screen...that never happened before with UC, it would wait till i manually opened the programs for the first time, i thought i was gonna run out of ram with sashimi running, googlemaps, and livesearch but i exited out of those as fast as i could to let the autophase continue....file 32 now

*edit...weird now after it auto-installed MSVC_US_PPC_1.6.19209.bengalih.CAB, it opened up its' voice command help file and i had to X out of it to see Auto Phase still doing its thing.....

im sorry i'm new to this thread so i only read the 1st post and watched all the videos 1-11 so i havent gone through all 500 posts yet but is this normal?

i'm sorry bengalih, this program looked very promising and i was ready to dump UC, but it just pissed me off after my first run, i dont know where have of my shortcuts installed to, it looks like it installed the apps but i dont see half of my stuff in my programs menu, i think im gonna dump this app and go back to UC and alittle hard work...ill save my log file if you're interested
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Let me address all your issue in one post:

I'm pretty sure the docs include this information, so if you haven't actually read the documentation that would be a good idea. Otherwise, I know it is discussed in the thread, so a search for PIM would lead you to about 20 posts probably, not 500.

But, yes the PIM backup/restore functionality of SASHIMI is very basic. You need to do the restore manually, mostly so that you properly reset the device after the restore. PIM functionality is new in SASHIMI , and as I have stated many times there are other options for PIM backup/restore and SASHIMI doesn't expect to be competitive with any of the ones that specialize in that function.

As far as the device falling asleep, you probably discovered it didn't. If you did indeed read the first post you would have seen the release notes which state:

"UPDATED! - IdleTimerReset method. Now SASHIMI should not time out during any phase of installation, for any reason. "

As is stated dozens of times in this thread, and the documentation, any CABS which require manual interaction (which would include those that open up automatically after install) are best suited to the manual phase. Auto Phase in SASHIMI works different from UC in that the wceload in UC is running in fully hidden mode. With SASHIMI , I don't run in fully hidden mode or else I wouldn't be able to provide the Storage Card install which many find useful. In addition, with UC, the splash screen can overlay whatever is happening in the background. I am considering adding another special folder to the Auto install like \SC called \Silent (or something like that) that will allow you to put in CABs that can be automatically installed in silent mode (but would otherwise pop-up a dialog of some sort). The trade-off for that would be that those CABs would have to be installed to device memory.

Shortcuts should install to their normal location unless you messed around with the customlinks.ini file. So any CAB shortcuts that get created when you would install w/out SASHIMI should work the same. If you messed around with a customlinks.ini file then remove it and see if you still have the issue. If you need to move around shortcuts, make sure you understand the syntax and limitations of the customlinks.ini.

You are welcome to post your log file if you want, I can take a quick look and see if anything is out of the ordinary.

There is always the chance something is wrong with the application, but with over 1000 download I haven't really had many complaints on this latest version. In its basic form it should be able to do everything UC does (and more) with nothing more than placing the files in the right locations. The advanced features make it much more powerful, but they require understanding and some time to configure.

Hopefully your shortcut issue was due to improper .ini file. Your other issue regarding interactive installs (which really isn't an issue, it is by desgin) may have some enhancements in the next verison.

Hi,

I waiting a lot from this tools, because I want to purpose a bunch of tools for french community.

so,

I have start using this, by adding every cab I want in Auto directory (and SD)

Add my xml to create icon ...

but I have a problem during auto-installation :

look the pic, say line 2050 have a problem

My rom is in full french language, did I have to do somethink to make it work ?

I already change the ini file in bin, to change Internal Storage in "Stockage interne" (french version)

By the way, a cab I install ask to reboot, and this message look indefinitivly untill I close it manually

any idea on how to do ?

if the answer is in video (I want 2 for the moment, the auto one :)), I can watch it, don't loose your time.

Thanks for support !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
What file did you change?

If the CAB requires manual intervention, like prompting a screen to reboot, you shouldn't install it in the Auto phase.

I'm not sure about the error yet...I need to know what you changed so I can figure out what might be going on.

Also, is this on a French

Diamond

?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:
file I changed :

bin/customlinks.ini

bin/settings.ini

I really want to full automate install

is they a way to auto answer "no" in this case ?

Yes I have a french diamond :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Ok... I guess you were running a non-French ROM previously, as settings.ini will detect the right name when you do an install. But, if you switch the ROM version after SASHIMI install you will either need to delete the settings.ini and let it recreate, or edit it like you did.

As for the error:

Search in SASHIMI.mscr for:

ElseIf(romLanguage = "1036")
# French
txtInstallWindow = "Installation"

and add a line just after

# French that says:

txtLicense = "license"

I will fix this in the next version.

Look in the documentation for how to use the .AUTO file...this should help you automate that CAB.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:
thanks for quick answer !

ok I will read for auto file

how can I edit mscr script ?

can I use gvim ? (notepad like lol)

Strange think, I have try to do it on my Windows station, and seems to don't work. I saw strange chars (perhaps I open the exe ... it's probable lol)

on linux, no soucis, I have found your line, correct it, waiting beta tester to test in :)

I have seen that over language miss this variable too.

I have seen txtReboot ... so when it display, seems to don't work.

Perhaps it's not the right text on diamond.

I will check that.

Thanks man, for support !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:

Is they a way during autophase (auto install process), to make the auto windows always on top ?

Is they a way to cancel a "reboot" question after installing cab ? automatically ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:
ok, use Auto, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for

I will try it tonight

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rogerard:
Weird

I noticed during a resumed install today (I had removed the cabs from CAB and SC folder that had already been installed then reran the application), that SC would not get selected. I interrupted the process by soft reset, uninstalled the apps that had gotten installed incorrectly, and retried, but it still did it.

I tried on two occasions. On the first, it was selecting Network. I disabled the Network plugin and tried again. On the second attempt, it kept installing to Memory.

I checked the log files, and they showed that the cabs on both attemps had been installed successfully to storage card (even though they hadn't):

08/28/08,12:11:27,Auto .CAB install to \Storage Card successful. VALUE: \Storage Card\SASHIMI\Auto\CAB\SC\myinstalled.cab

After this, I installed the remaining cabs myself. Thought you might want to know.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Regards

Roger
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
Well the log file isn't entirely accurate, as I can't acutally get feedback from Windows Mobile itself, only from what MortScript itself (and thus SASHIMI) is doing.

So, the fact that it logged the install to the Storage Card would be correct, since that is the log entry when it finds them in SC.

SASHIMI does a couple of checks when it loads to see if it find Network Folder and/or an Extended ROM that is unlocked. It then sets the number of "down-presses" it uses to select the Storage card (or equivalent location). You can look to the log file for "Auto SC KeyRepeat VALUE:" to see what it is setting it to.

I don't know why it would have worked for you the first time and not subsequent unless other things changed on your system. I will tell you that you probably want to reset the device after disabling the network folders. However, even with network folders showing it should still work (I have tested it on mine and it has).

If you want to post a screen shot of what your choices are in an install dialog, as well as SASHIMI's log and a .reg export of your registry I can take a look.

thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:
I have notice another error

Don't know if it's specific to french version

but in case where Restart question after cab install is ask we have 2 answer :

Ok or Annuler

I'm looking in script to see that but I have see SendNo ..

I haven't found SendCancel so I do a SendEsc and they work fine

Could you correct this in futur version ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
the txtLicense, txtContinue, and txtRestart commands in the script were implemented to try and deal with some situations where the CAB file pops up a dialog. As I

keep on stating

SASHIMI will not deal with CABs in the auto phase that require manual intervention with the basic code.

That code in the SCInstall dealing with License, Continue, and Restart is really just beta/experimental code. What might work for you with one CAB will not necessarily work for another. It is impossible for me to code for every possible specific CAB installation sequence.

you have two options:

1) Install them manually

2) Use the .AUTO file to customize the interaction process
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] geistteufel:
Ok I see

I make a mistake I think, I have a full screen during install process that need to reboot to continue the job, I don't know how to send cancel to it automatically
