hi,

just recently found this on M$ site.

Quoted from M$ site:

What should I do if I try to download an app and my memory is full?

The Windows Marketplace for Mobile client will notify you that you do not have sufficient memory to store the new application on your device. It will present the option to either delete an existing application or to store the app in an alternate location such as an SD card.

As my understanding in above statement, the Marketplace application would allow us to save to another location (SD card or another internal storage) only if your main internal storage full.

I myself havent proved it yet, anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
If that's the case then there has to be a way to fool the marketplace app that the phone storage is already full??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
If you read this thread fully, someone already took a shuffty at the code of the recent release and concluded there was nothing in it that would suggest this is true.

Probably someone over at MS getting their wires crossed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghost-5:
microsoft are going have to change this sooner or later.

Some big apps are bound to appear on the marketplace like Sat Nav and there is no way that these will fit on a phones internal storage
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Ok, thanks for the info...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tarroyo:
Is there a cab available where you can install marketplace to the device and then get the option to install apps/programs on the main memory or storage card???? Or will there not be one?

The patched cab that I see says "I suggest you don't install on main memory"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Here is a VK package for the latest? version of MarketPlace for use with WM6.1(see attachement).

This is the normal version. Not modified in any way shape or form so if you need the storage card variant, this isn't for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htinaung:
looks like it doesnt work anymore. when i open up, marketplace will autoupdate itself and prompted connection error. anyone has the same issue?

i have tried these cabs

XDA-Developers-patched-WMMarketplace_sc.cab

Original-WMMarketplace_sc.cab

Short-WMMarketplace_sc.cab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
did you even read the first and second posts?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
For people who clearly haven't read the thread:

There is currently no version of WM market place that will allow you to install to the storage card. There was a modified first version that did this, however after the MS update this will no longer work.

(Unless someone knows something new? If so please shout!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Well there is a way to do it, however it requires some hacking and patching, and breaks all EULAs you have to OK, so I doubt anyone will release it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
storage card installation coming in next version!

http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/wmdev/archive/2010/02/15/marketplace-momentum.aspx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bitbrat:
Oh thank God!

Just goes to show, occasionally Microsoft listens to customer feedback...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
FINALLY!

I haven't been spamming @windowsphone on twitter asking for this feature... much...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I heard they'll also enable the US marketplace to other countries. I think I read it on the WM development board.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
Woo! More apps with things measured in the wrong units and spelt wrong! Excellent :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
It's updated now! :)

Just tried it on my Diamond, you can now choose storage card (Internal Storage - Diamond) in settings and also change location in a list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
hmmm! I just connected to Marketplace but it didn't update....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] majorassface:
For everyone who wants the option to install to internal storage, uninstall Marketplace from remove programs and just launch the icon again, it will prompt to install and will install the latest version which now supports saving to internal as well as region switching. Thank owziee for the tip!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
It's worth noting you don't get asked each install, you have to go into settings and chose storage card as your default location.

(you can also chose other marketplaces there as well)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
no you can't! it's not working! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
To be honest I didn't try that part, might see if the US have anything we don't but the UK market's fine for me.

See what you mean though, trying to install something with storage card selected as default seems to cause install to time-out each time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I was only talking about the location switch. Storage isn't work too? That's super fine! Great job MS ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
Actually it might just be that MP is down/fux0rd at the moment as I can't get it to connect/install things what ever settings I try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
THE VICTORY IS OURS, LONG LIVE XDA ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
Yeah... if only it worked.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
yes, because it does not work at all.

I immediately switch to the US Zone of course, but...

Only few apps in the US market. Most of the apps are missing. For instance I cannot find Kinoma...

What's wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Hicups, It's the extending hand that counts for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
There may be issues, but MS have listened and acted upon what we said.

Now we just have to wait for them to make it stable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z_rudy:
I think there's just additional load... I've tried to install Marketplace several times until it worked, and the store is inaccessible to me at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sean D.:
Hmmm...

If the WMP app can't be installed on the storage card it's self then it's useless to me.

Too bad.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
Here is the latest cab file

I editted it so that it can be installed to storage card

Marketplace.cab = original

Marketplace_sc.cab = edited

store is definitely broken atm though. and keeps telling me to download update...which I do, but then it says error cant connect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
And with that a third post magically appeared on top of this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z_rudy:
Oh! How did that happen?!

lol

The spelling mistakes have been corrected too.. the admins like the post apparently :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
I helped with getting the first marketplace to install apps to the SD card, correctly contacted someone at microsoft on how easy it was, and tried different solutions with, so this is indeed a thread i watch and find important.:D

Also this Mod has Spellcorrection in FireFox that forces him neurotically to correct any scribly line.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acidbath5546:
I remember that :)

Good stuff man, really impressed with all the effort put into Marketplace here on XDA...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
great stuff mate..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
as of 1am British time, Marketplace has started working again and I've successfully installed an app from the marketplace to the storage card (and uninstalled it, and installed it again)

(seen card data use rise, but don't see where it installed in file manager)

would seem Microsoft both heard and listened to their users... followed I assume by hell freezing over :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
any ideas?

I got the update this morning. Went to settings and set the storage card as default. Downloaded an app. It got installed in main memory. Did a soft reset. Thought maybe that was the problem. Waited a couple of hours and installed another app. It went to main memory. I am going to uninstall them both and try again since I see that apperantly the market place was overloaded. But I was just wondering if any one would have any ideas as to why the apps would not be going to the storage card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
i'm pretty sure that apps can still override marketplace and have hardcoded install paths
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] razerbug:
I know my two new apps are definitly installed to the SD card, because the glitch that makes apps on there lose their icons in the start menu is happening to them... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
I wonder if that is what it is? Bc I have done some more testing and some apps do install to my storage. But still- some refuse to go to storage. Weird.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ramdroid77:
I'm now able to connect to US marketplace. There are now 40 games instead of 7. It didn't do another update, I'm still using the version that it was updated to last week. Probably something in their backend was wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timolol:
Has anybody tried converting the latest marketplace cab into an EXT package? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] painintheass:
anyone got marketplace v1.2.1422.000?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
v1.2.1422.0000 attached

still hasnt fixed problem where i had uninstalled an app yet it thinks it is still installed and thus i cant reinstall :s
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] athar13:
Great job! But fortunately I just installed the new version of Windows Marketplace 1.2.1422.0000. Which has an option Menu->Settings->Select Default Install Location: \Storage Card! Voila!!!

It seems that the guys at Microsoft finally came around to their senses.

or maybe they are just trying to hide their laziness and being thrashed all around of xDa forums...hmmm....:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vbmarco:
Hello everyone, I have a problem with the marketplace. If the cook in the ROM says it can not connect, but if I try to install it as cab says installation failed. What you know may depend?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
I saw Brendo forgot to post this cab to First Posts so I did the edit for him.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] encentria:
Nice Job!

Can the latest version work on WM 6.5.3? It is great to see such a improvement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lkaltz:
Marketplace Broken since EnergyROM update

All,

Not sure where to post this but I just tried updating with the latest Marketplace cabs with no luck. Ever since I updated to the EnergyROM my Marketplace stopped working no matter what version I upgrade to or use. I get the following error: "We encountered an error while trying to reach the Window Marketplace server. Would you like to try again?" Does anyone know what can cause this? I have a Verizon Imagio (Whitestone) running EnergyROM 2.5.20121225

Thanks,

Lou
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marko_mk:
Hi , finaly there is marketplace for windows but anyone thought of making an application like instalous on iphone i mean to have all the apps but cracked :p

How to get Marketplace working for Windows Mobile 6.1?

I have tried installing the .CAB files on here and the bootstrap.cab file from Microsoft website and it gives me an "ERROR". It says can't connect and please check your internet connection.

My WiFi works perfectly when I use Skyfire browser. I have a Samsung Propel Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1 without a data plan.

Do I need a data plan for Windows Marketplace app to work properly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciao99:
I have the same problem...but not only with marketplace, with other programs that need internet connection to update too. :confused:

i have a Diamond with WM 6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rickstermar555:
do you have a data plan or not cause I don't? I'm trying to use Wi-Fi to connect to marketplace and it's not working.

What is this ROM stuff people keep talking about? Do I need to install it for Marketplace to work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ciao99:
i use wifi connection...The problem occurred suddenly. it first worked a while but from some time I can not use any program that needs internet connection as mp or opn market, pocket world cup...none.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
marketplace works via wifi on my htc excalibur .. but however i can not get any of these cabs to work only the one from microsoft ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arpcpro:
I have installed Marketplace_SC_1.2.1422.0.cab on the storage card of my WM6.5 cooked ROM and everytime I try to launch it from the icon placed on the start menu I get this error:

I can only launch it from File Explorer choosing the "WMMarketplaceFullClient" 664K file that was placed on the root of the storage card.

Then I selected "SPB Wireless Monitor" from inside Marketplace and it was installed on the internal memory! It didn't even asked if I wanted to install it on the card or not.

Is it supposed to behave like this? Will all the apps from inside the Marketplace install only on internal memory?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nasapunk88:
Windows Marketplace now allows u to choose where it stores ur programs automatically. You no longer need any special tweak/program.

Just download the official marketplace and in options change Internal Memory to Storage Card.

Download Windows Marketplace
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
tx. seems good...

I've tested it and it install the softs where i've asked to (mean "Ma mémoire").

but where are the .cab files ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nasapunk88:
The official Marketplace doesn't save the cab files for you to be able to have. It downloads them and deletes them after install.

The only thing Ive seen before was a program u ran that auto saved the cab files every time u installed in marketplace, however Microsoft fixed/stopped that from working.

I haven't seen another way to save marketplace cabs arise again. (since it would be a violation to get them for paid apps etc and whatnot where u would be able to share for free).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
okay... but it have to download them somewhere before installing. let's find where !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lollonais:
What I dislilke is the fact that I have to send them my phone number. Why cant they just post a link to download the cab? then they want to install an update on my phone. What gives?:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] c_shekhar:
great thread.

How could I not notice this.....!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaruzel:
Can't get any Marketplace to work!?

Hi all,

I've gone through this thread, and I've tried most of the downloads, including the official MS site (mp.windowsphone.com) but I still can't get Marketplace to work for my current stock HTC 6.1 ROM - after installation it always complains that it can't connect to the online Marketplace. Can anyone help?

My device: HTC TouchPro2 running Stock HTC 6.1 WWE ROM.

I used to have Marketplace working fine as part of the Stock 6.5 ROM, but I've recently gone back to 6.1 as it's faster on my TouchPro2.

Thanks,

-Jar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akpe:
I also had the same connection error for a couple of days, seems fine now. Give it a try again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Went into the control panel and changed my region there.

(don't know if you did a Reg change or did it this way)

Still got the UK instead of the Portugese version.

And reconnecting again after this through GPRS instead of Wifi gave me Dutch Shop again.

But your absolutly right.

After doing it again (this time for insurance both my region and Time to).

Resetting Phone and connecting through Wifi with phone disabled)

I get the ****load off Apstore to With the currency in Dollars.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
That would seem to indicate that it's a combination of the DeviceID and the locale of your phone provider being used to set your marketplace locale. If so, you won't ever be able to bypass it when connecting over GPRS/3G.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Well for now, untill Microsoft Opens up the local shops for some more developers. (as said in the unwired article).

This should already make a few people a bit more happy.

But what shocked me most was seeing the always free for the last ten years Microsoft Office Showing up in the Store.

If this is true it might be that in the future this can't be cooked, if Microsoft decide to take the office part out of the Windows Mobile License and start asking money for it.:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] melvintwj:
How do i install this? I've installed the cab file and where do i launch the marketplace?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
There's two Cabs further down that have the Shortcut links.

As the OP is active i will leave it up to him if he wants to update his original Cabs himself. (2 pages ain't that much reading yet so the anwser should be easily found ATM)

I only update first posts when OP has been inactive for a while.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
first post updated

i found office being in there interesting as well

looking at exe in hex editor is interesting also ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuppy:
Two things: I use amans file, not the file posted in this thread. And yes, i changed my lcoation through settings -> regions, not via registry.

Is it possible that it does a trace on GPRS (ip-adress) and checks the location of that IP and presents the "correct marketplace" based on that?

Same thing should happen with Wifi then as well. Is it possible that it does a lookup on the provider used to connect? What I mean is... some wap-sites are only available if you connect through your gprs, not when you connect through wifi...

I havent gotten this to work on my topaz yet, only tried with my two athenas and they work flawlessly. When run on the topaz it just dies without loading a UI.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] melvintwj:
Seriously i need help, where do i launch this app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FloatingFatMan:
Noonski already answered your question.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
if you download the cab in post #10, after installing, you should have an icon on your start menu

hmmm...my live (hotmail) contacts all got deleted and the only thing ive done on my phone recently is install marketplace

my contacts stayed, but the windows live part of it seems have been removed and i cant use messenger or anything. not sure if its related or my rom is stuffed. oh well, updating in next few days anyway
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
I have to much headache to go through all those fancy numbers and letters scrolling by in HexEdit :(.

Which means you Probably also read my other idea to check for App to SD installation.

If your updating in a few days, i'm always looking for a few good Men to test.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fanatic66:
Why the hell are only 22 programs at german marketplace?`

can u underline this or does someone have more programs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
It installs it as a completely different CAB ("Micro_Facebookfo_MRnzUunn9kWxtZjoksR4dg" is what you'll see in Remove Programs). In the root of the device, I've found two *.edb files (I'm guessing a database, haven't bothered to see what kind) that probably resolves the name against something.

Marketplace uses WCELOAD to install the cabs, and if called with the /NOUI flag, it defaults to installing on device. I guess we could remove the /NOUI flag from the parameters (using some disasm+hex editing). The install dir is "\Program Files\Facebook" which if installed to Storage Card would be "\Storage Card\Program Files\Facebook".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
It does if you get into US marketplace.

Change your Region to US, soft reset and connect to Marketplace through Wifi.

The reason i post every little mistake and misjudgment is so others can see what i do wrong. Also to bounce back and forward ideas and so others can see what people might be missing.

I hadn't thought looking for NoUi yet, for instance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
My phone storage is almost full on my Diamond, is there a way to install this to the 4 Gig internal storage on the Diamond instead?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NEO130:
Install on device and than you can change the folder to storage with SKTools.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Found it

Removed it, it now asks for install dir.

l3v5y thanks for the heads up.

Anyone ready for some beta testing?

Attached the patched Marketplace client that asks for install Directory.

It hasn't been signed yet but that should be no problem.

Edit: removed the Exe it's no longer needed.

Also attached a new cab file without the Device ID so your shop connects to the correct Local shop.

And resigned the marketplace.

Enjoy and remember, this was a team effort, even if it looked easy at the end.

Cabs have been moved to first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Existentialism:
So the first one prompts you on where to install the apps? Or just where to install the marketplace?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Both, it will first ask where to install the marketplace ant then in the marketplace it will ask where to install the app to.

The exe was just a test release but the cab came quickly after that after i confirmed it working myself. (A few times)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Even Connecting through Wifi after resetting?

Update: Some Cab files might actually be hardcoded to the device memory so you won't get the install to SD prompt.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Great :) I'll try it right away :) And thanks to NEO130 for the tip aswell!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Glad it works. :)

The usage of WCELOAD is one of the major flaws I've found with marketplaces security, though it makes stuff like this much easier to hack together! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
It doesn't even start when I click on it in my Diamond?? :( Is it because I'm running 6.1???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
I tested this on a Touch Pro with WM 6.1 so that should not be a restriction.

Yup Whipped up to fast, and you'd think that they could have taken one extra day to come up with a better user interface.

Let's just see how long it will be before they come up with an actual update:D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Any idea why the app doesn't even launch on my Diamond? I've checked the registry and everything seems ok...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sci05:
Canada

Anyone try this out in canada? How many apps are showing up for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] goldt:
I just tried to install bing on my storage card through Marketplace and it didn't even ask me where to install it to, it went straight to the main memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mavorte:
yeah i tried to install my phone application and it went directly to main memory either
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Noonski:
Read my post number 39 as to why some aps cannot be installed to Storage Memory.

It's still possible to force a cab to install to Main memory.

This workaround will not have influence on this behaviour that is set in the cab installation.

What Os version or Rom are you running?

Did you install to Memory or Storage?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Brendo:
hmmm...i wonder how ms will handle the whole install to device or storage if they are using the /noui command, some people like to install certain apps to storage and others to main memory.

there are a few other files on a wm6.5 rom, but not sure they are needed:

wmmbootstrap.exe

wmmbootstrap.exe.0409.mui

wmmlauncher
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Latest official stock 2.03 HTC rom. WM6.1, The other cab rhat installs to phone memory works but I would like the storage card version instead...
