Does PHM Registry Editor work with WinMobile 6?

[mrpotts]

Hi all,

I've tried many times to load PHM Registry Editor on my Kaiser with Windows Mobile 6 without success.

Does PHM Registry Editor work with Windows Mobile 6? If not, is there another one that may work?

Thanks,
Phil

It does work, give us some more details and let's see if we can help.
How far do you get?
Is it a Cab or Exe?
Do you get any error messages?
etc

Alternative - perhaps Total Commander using the //plugins directory.

Hi,

Okay, that's good news to me, it will work, and it's just me :D

Here's the details; When I goto http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
to download, I've downloaded the ActiveSync (twice) and the CD Redistribution links and tried installing from within the phone and off my laptop via USB and each time I gotten an error on the phone saying the file is not recognizable. What am I doing wrong here?

Cheers,
Phil

Ok. From this site:

http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/)

Choose this one from the list:

Pocketpc 2002 2003 arm/pxa

Move the unopened cab file to device with AS explorer function.
Tap it to install. (I have mine installed to SD card)

I have a really good reg editor here if you need it.
(Got it from.... a tool pack)

Since the upload doesn't allow this type of file... i had to zip it

anyway put it on the device of your htc phone and run it from there.
Note: its not an install, its an actual application

Another good reg editor is resco, and total commander.
(total commander's registry is in the root //)

Hi,

Wow, thanks. That worked without a hitch and I opened it up successfully on the phone. Thank you Mike, great help and right to the point. What did I miss? How would I have known that the 'PocketPC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)' was the file I needed for a HTC TyTNN II with Windows Mobile 6?

No to look at some of those useful edits, after a complete registry back up of course.

Cheers,

Just for general info on downloading file types:

Many sites offer a choice of different application file types to download I always go for the CAB file rather than the EXE file. The CAB file you install by putting it on the SD Card and tapping it. The advantage is that if you ever need to re-install you do not need your PC, just tap on the CAB again to install it.

For this and most devices nowadays you should choose:
ARM files
POCKETPC or PPC files (not smartphone)
WM5 or WM6 may also be stated. Most WM5 apps will work on WM6 and many WM 2003 apps will also work.

Nearly always if it's an EXE download then this is meant to be opened on the PC with the device connected by AS or Device Centre. Very occassionally you will come across an EXE that has to be put on the device and then run. (these rare files usually have a statement telling you to do this).

Thanks Mike, great info and very useful.
