How do you save cab files when they are installed?

[dharvey4651]

I am trying to figure out what registry I have to change in order to make it so that cab files arent automatically deleted when you install them. I had to revert back to WM5 because I am getting tired of the performance issues with the custom WM6 roms and also all of the bugs and glitches... Every rom has it's own set of quirks. I find t-mobiles official wm5 rom to be most stable and fastest so I changed back to that.

Please help me with this little problem. Thanks in advance, Dan.

Thanks but I recently changed back to the official T-mobile rom because I finally got tired of all of the bugs and glitched and performance issues with custom roms.

Thats why I am trying to figure out what registry to change.

Then why are you posting in the WM6 forum??? Posting here usually means you are asking about WM6.

All the answers are in the Wiki if you read / search...

Or grab a tool like Schaps advanced Config or similar and just tick the right box...

From the wiki:


Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)

If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:

HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Or to restore to the default:

HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)

Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)

An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:

HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
