Hi,

I asked a Microsoft developer and he told me:

"When a CAB file fails to install, we pop up an ambiguous error message. We could put more detailed info there (and there is a bug sitting in our database saying we should investigate doing so) but the reality is that when a CAB fail, there's really nothing the typical user can do to fix it themselves... they are at the mercy of the developer who needs to provide a modified CAB file.

That said, it's obviously important that developers be able to diagnose these failures if they are reported by end users. For this, we spit out a detailed log file which you can find in \Application Data\Volatile\setup.log. It's long and it's XML so skimming line by line can be tedious. To quickly find out where the installation failed, just do a quick search for the word "error" in that file. There are a few edge cases where installation fails before we get a chance to spit out this file but I've found that this trick is almost always enough to point in the direction of what went wrong.

Oh... one other thing to check: the most common reason I've seen for users reporting installation failures on Windows Mobile 5 is the new "timeout" mechanism. When wceload shows its "we don't know where this came from. do you really want to install it?" and the user doesn't respond within several minutes, the installtion fails and we show that ambiguous error message. So when someone reports that a CAB failed, I first ask them to try again and respond to the prompt quickly. If it still doesn't work, I ask for the log file."

The same thing I found before. But there is another clue. Are you using File Explorer to look for the setup.log file? If so, please check the option View All Files. May be it's hidden.

Regards,

Joubert

I used File Explore from Activesync from my PC and then de File Explorer directrly from my HTC TOUCH CRUISE, but in both cases the folder is empty. And yes, with SHOW ALL FILES activated

I'm totally blind thinking I'm the only one with troubles installing your great development. I REALLY want to install it.

Other things installed in my CRUISE are:

T9 Spanish dictionary

Landware Shangay

PHM Registry Editor

Garmin Mobile XT

PDAmill Gamebox solitaire, solitaire II and Sudoku

Fann Software Converter CE Pro

SPB time

Astraware Cubis

Ionfix Obulis TSE

Microsoft .NET CF 3.5

I always tried to install it from my Storage Card. Recently I tried to copy the RTCONFIG.CAB to My Device\My Documents and the same happened.

I don't agree with Microsoft about searching for the log because the instalation procedure cancels almost at start. If I look very well, I can see a text with "Installing RTConfig.cab ..." but I have to launch it several times to finish reading the message because it cancels VERY FAST.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I see. Maybe it is a certificate issue.

When you try to install RTConfig.cab, are you asked to confirm a non certified software? RTConfig is signed with a true certificate, but we must think in everything.

I know there is a registry tweak to turn this verification off, I'll google for it.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbasualdo:
It closes so fast that neither the certificate message appears. I know you can hack this message but I didn't. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Really don't know what is happening...

Did you install RT sometime successful? If so, let's clear the registry. Please delete the keys below:

HKLM\Software\Apps\JVSoftware RTConfig

HKLM\Security\AppInstall\JVSoftware RTConfig

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Rules\RemoteTracker

Delete:

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\rtconfig*.*

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\rtremote*.*

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\rtscanner*.*

\Windows\Startup\smslauncher.*

\Storage card\rt.* <- this is your card, the name could be other

Remove directory:

\program files\rtconfig

I think this will remove RT completely. Reboot, pray and try again :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi!

I upload in http://www.self-share.com/6chtwa1vyimd/RTConfig.CAB.html a new version of RT with more informations in log file, and a correct query to OpenCellID. Please give a try and tell me if you got the correct information.

I have tried and it is working.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cbasualdo:
I put beside each point what I did. After that, reboot and tryied again, but same result.

Don you know what exactly es the first thing the installer does? Perhaps if a go step by step we can find what's going on.

THANKS Again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Sorry, really don't know. I use an automated project from Microsoft Visual Studio to generate .cab files. :(

Did you try a hard reset? May be some installed software is the cause of this issue. I know how painful HR is...

Just lets leave it now. I'll keep searching, but I don't want to take you more time. You were very dedicated.

Hi all!

I have something to share to everyone of you. Today I received a message from a user from spain telling me he is the director and presenter of the program "informatic.com" that is broadcasted weekly on "LOCAL MEDIA TV".

He include RemoteTracker in his program broadcasted today, december 15. The video is in spanish and can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=432OlHhA7DI

I'm very proud and I have to thank everyone of you.

Why it says July 18?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I think SourceForge is a little bit late :)

I released this version today.

Anybody has any help as to how to put this one in our extended ROM so that in case of hardreset the softwares works as it should. This is best feature ROM cookers can add to their ROM's. Thanks to the developer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
1. Create a rt.dll with all information

2. Create an OEM package

3. Create the new ROM

4. Put the new ROM on your phone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corepda:
Hey thanx kuz for taking the pain of writing this much for me. I am afraid I am not that much free to play with .DLL so would really appreciate if someone can do that for me. I will give me details. Or I would like to have some c++ app which does that for the user. Hope you understand. Thanx for it though. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruwan7:
Hi!

This was a piece of software i was looking from long before i was born.. hehehe..

I can wait to get my phone lost now!! :)

Thanks thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
Hi,

Joubert has written a tool to create the rt.dll very easy. You will find it on http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226254&package_id=284670&release_id=614380.

Start the program on windows and you will get the rt.dll within seconds. :-)

I tried this App on WM6.1 on a Moto Q9C. I installed the NetCF 3.5 changed the policy to 3.5. No matter what I do, restart the phone, run the app, etc, the app crashes. Anyone else get this running on a smartphone? And yes I used the SP version.

Question on cell ID feature

If I follow correctly, when the cell ID information is retrieved from the tower RT goes out to find the coords. If so, I believe this is causing me trouble by hanging the process with the fone reprting that the "modem" could not connect. I have e-mail and Internet access via G3 turned off to prevent incurring data charges.

If that's what is going on, is there a way to disable that function? If not, can you add that as a setting option? I really don't have an interest in the cell tower location at this time and by not allowing my phone to call out to the internet on the G3 network stops the process. The only time the software works now is when I am connected to the internet through WiFi.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] corepda:
Thanks Kuz

It was really so kind of you again. I just checked that & found it quite helpful. Hope I would be able to bluff the thief. :)

Hi all,

I just released a j2ME client for Remote Tracker.

The thread can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3072217

Let me know if you find any bugs or have any improvements in mind.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I put a comment there. I would like to add your software in RT official site, if you agree.

I can also add your project as a new package in sourceforge.

Great job!

Cheers,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alt236:
Glad you like it!

Be my guest and upload it/ link it (or do anything you want with it) :)

I guess adding it as a package would make more sense as well.

Just let me know if you add/change any commands on RT so I can update it accordingly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
If you want, create an account on sourceforge and I'll add you as a developer ;)

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alt236:
How can I refuse such a generous offer :)

I'll pm you my username there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagg3r:
I was wondering with these 2 commands:

rt#eganfl - Send, by e-mail, a list of all incoming and outgoing calls if you have VITO audio notes installed.

rt#eganf - Send, by e-mail, all incoming and outgoing calls records if you have VITO audio notes installed.

Is it possible for future versions to do this via SMS?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I can make eganfl works with SMS, but not eganf, because the attached files.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagg3r:
If you could do that in the next version that would be great!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi! As a christmas gift, I released version 0.3.1-0 with GANFL command :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kuzco1:
This means you have already a system.messaging.dll somewhere in your ROM. This file is part of .Net-Framework 3.5. Please check the versions. Should be 3.5.7283.0. In this case ignore this message.

Hi!

I read all 676 posts today (really!) and I think I found a new and an old bug ;)

When I send rt#ego rt.exe crashes somewhere within the Get-Owner-API with a NullReferenceException - I have set no owner information and didn't access the screen to set the info!

After going to said screen I couldn't reproduce it anymore - do you maybe read a value that is not there before going to the owner info screen once?

Kasjopaja said she got an error message when trying to change the alarm sound here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2383046#post2383046

I have the same problem:

When I press the [search] button I get the title "select file" for ~3 seconds and then for 1/10 second I see a tree view with folders in it

+ Interner Speicher
Bluetooth FTP <-- no "+", maybe it tries to access this virtual folder?

then RTConfig.exe crashes with:

install location: internal storage (not main storage and not sd card)

program version: 0.3.1-1

current alarm file: \Interner Speicher\Programme\RTConfig\notify.wav

device: Samsung SGH-i900 Omnia 8GB

OS: WM 6.1 Pro Build 20270.1.3.1

OS version: i900XGHL7/BHHL2

language: german (same as Kasjopaja I think...)

I thank you very much for your program - after "losing" a Touch Cruise I have to be more careful
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
My God :) Really cool!

Good. I'll see this for next release. Thank you!

I Finally fix this issue (I hope!). Please download version 0.3.1-3 I just released.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
oO it works! thanks, your response time is awesome :)

I noticed something else:

The shortcuts are placed here into "\Windows\Startmenü\RTConfig.lnk"

which is the quick start list in my device, the normal programs list is in "\Windows\Startmenü\Programme\RTConfig.lnk"

The quick start folder holds only 7 entries for me and showing RT in the quick start isn't a good thing when you want to hide the program as much as possible ;)

Thanks and bye, Ronny
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Don't worry with that. Version 4 will have a "hide remotetracker" option in RTConfig. This option will remove the link from programs and move rt.exe to another folder (random choice). I'm not 100% sure how it will works yet, but this is the main idea.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
that sounds nice :)

the only thing that's missing now is the camera integration - I know, very hard to impossible...

I think (didn't research!) that each manufacturer uses the same method for all their phones - I don't think there are that much big PocketPC manufacturers around (Asus, E-Ten, HTC, Samsung, more?) but they won't give you the details on how to use their API :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Believe me. I contacted every manufacturer I found. NOTHING! :(

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
hmm, I know there are programs out there that use your camera as a brightness sensor or for other things - maybe I can find some info
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
If this softwares work in WM6.x, please tell me their names. I will test them.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
hmm, I just tried this program here:

http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/index.html?seitex=http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/details.aspx?461

and it started the normal camera - which isn't what we want - but it would be good if someone with a HTC device tried it - the screenshots look like the camera is hooked there

EDIT:

I might have found something...

http://www.octro.com grabs the camera image and sends it to a webserver (webcam)

I think (hope) they use an API that's the same for all WM devices
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
The software only works in HTC devices. :( I didn't see this information in main site and when I run this app I got an error message asking for a HTCSensorDSK.dll file.

Well, I lost 12 USD, but it's not a problem. If some HTC owner want this program, tell me. I'll give it to the first PM me.

I need to know if it will works. If so I think I can do the same for HTC users in RemoteTracker.

Net-Spider, if you find any other software, tell me. The bad news is: each manufacturer wrote different functions with different names.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi again! This Octro did nothing :(

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
can this help?

http://www.zone1.de/PocketPC/index.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
oh sorry, I should have mentioned I tried the free demo version - you can copy the sensorsdk.dll to htcsensorsdk.dll and then it works (for htc devices and omnia!) - someone with a HTC device has to try it, for the Omnia it just starts the built in camera program

how exactly does octrovideo not work for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Don't worry. I saw the demo version and decide to buy, don't know why :rolleyes:

My Eten X800 does not have G-Sensor. May be it works in other devices than HTC.

It did nothing. Blank screen. And octro talk show me a "mosaic" screen, just like my tests.

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Thanks for the link, but it works for WM 2003. The problem is WM 6.x.

Before WM 6 Microsoft had a camera API and every manufacturer had to use it. In other words, everyone could make programs to use the camera.

I don't know why, but WM6 does not have a lot of API and each manufacturer have to implement their drivers without patterns.

Things I tried without success because of this:

- Use the camera;

- Control the bright (for OpenCellClient);

- Change password;

- Hard reset;

- Format memory card;

- and more.

The worst part is that manufacturers do not give this information to the developers.

Regards,

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
you are talking about WM03 and WM06 - what about WM05?

There seems to be a camera API in WM05:

http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Rory/Rory-Does-Windows-Mobile-Development-WM-50-Camera-API/

WM06 also includes DirectShow - maybe your device doesn't support it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Yes, almost API functions exist in WM5, except hard reset function. The problem is WM6.

Never read nothing about DirectShow... Good point...

Your last remotetracker.xml is not being read correctly by AppToDate.

3.1-3

Fixed the install directory to application data for AppToDate Support.

File is attached.

In case joubertvasc isn't around that fast.

I noticed it only because i was making a requested OEM package for it.

Which is also attached.

The OEM does not have AppToDate Support as it's not being installed to the Program Files folder, and i haven't tested this package as the Package Style i use for myself is completely different.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:

Joubert
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
I think it's a bug of AppToDate. After you download the new version AppToDate does not change the xml with the new one. If you run RTConfig after download, it will be updated by RT. The same thing happens with OpenCellClient.

this app is very nice

hello joubertvasc

i ve tried hard but i just can not get this working

no sorry i should have said that this is a great app. if i just can use it too

but the idea is perfect alone

i have a samsung omnia , with a cooked rom with net3.5 in

does this app not work with my phone?

i ve downloaded this : RTConfig.CAB and installed

when i run the program from the icon it has created in programs menu it opens a page where only actions are EXECUTE and MAKE A TEST

it does make the test and send a sms to the phone entered

it does not make a test

above all i can not connect to the configurations which i ve seen the screenshots on your website.

i ve spent 2 hours and maybe i am just missing a minor detail

i am sorry if i am taking your time or anybody willing to answer me.

thank you very much

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
there should be TWO shortcuts - if there aren't then just go to \Programs\RemoteTracker\ and start RTconfig.exe ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arasman:
hello there

than i get a message " There is no app associated with RTconfig.exe . Run the app first , then open the file within "
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
are you sure you're trying to open the correct file? look for other files in this folder with a similar name
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arasman:
ok

i ve got another one with the same name and no .exe at the end

that one gives an error :

"An unexpected error has occured in RTConfig.exe . Select quit and restart the prog."

And it also says : "An error message is available for this exception ... " and asks me "to install Netv35.Messages.En.wm.cab"

which i did , before posting my situation here and didn t help.

thank you again Net-Spider
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Net-Spider:
I don't know what's the problem there, sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arasman:
:)

i thank you for the effort

thank you very much Net-Spider

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arasman:
i am open-source for any help :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
Hi Arasman, sorry my late reply.

Please download lastest version (0.3.1-6). This version fixes a bug for new installations.

After you have installed you will see in Programs folder two icons: RTConfig and RTRemote.

RTConfig is the icon to make your custom configuration. You may set a password, define an emergency number (will be used when the SIM card changes), define an e-mail account to be used to answer some commands and so.

RTRemote is an application to control other smartphone or test your one. This is just a "shortcut" to use the SMS system.

Please let me know if this version will works for you.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagg3r:
I was just wondering since cellID is removed, is that data valuable at all? I mean on an off-topic discussion is there an app that exists if you travel around with gps enabled it can record or map out gps-coordinates to the nearest suburb with cellID info in case you are unable to get GPS data.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joubertvasc:
This information was removed from SMS when RT got the GPS position! If GPS failed and RT got the position from CellID, this information will be sent to you. I forgot to explain that.

If you are talking about OpenCellClient, this is also my software. That app discover cellid positions and has two objectives: add information to www.opencellid.org and make rt more useful because the gps position can't be obtained in several circunstances.

Regards,

Joubert
