Windows Marketplace

[Brendo]

This thread is aimed at getting Windows Marketplace to install progs to Storage Card

v1.1.1109: NOT YET ACHIEVED
v1.0.2201.0000: SOLVED *

Latest Files:
v1.1.1109 for WM6.5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=158
Marketplace for WM6, WM6.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=177

There are a couple of theories that are currently being tested so hopefully something will pop up shortly. I have been able to achieve a work around, but its not very convient (evidence here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591056)

The current way of installing is to use Setup.dll in the cab:

Setup.dll files included in cab file tell Marketplace where to install

*NOTE: To access marketplace you need the latest version of Windows Marketplace thus making older versions (and work) redundant

v1.0.2201.000

***PROGRESS HAS STOPPED. THIS WAY WE WON'T OVERSTEP ANY LINES AND PUT ANYONE IN HOTWATER. WE BELIEVE THERE IS NO MORE NEED TO GO ANY FURTHER AND IN THE END HAVE PROVEN THAT THE CURRENT SECURITY OF THE MARKETPLACE IS NOT VERY GOOD***

I managed to get the official cab that Marketplace downloads... (so easy, just need to grab it before it deletes itself and one other move that most could figure out easily hehe)
It's v1.0.2201.0000
Now to try and hack it to storage card

EDIT: Added a version I made where you can choose storage card (WMMarketplace_sc). I wouldnt suggest installing that version to device. Use at your own risk

May need to play with reg settings

 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace]
"DownloadLocation"="\\Windows\\WMMarketplace.cab"
"IsInstalled"=dword:00000001
"MarketInstallLocation"="\\Windows\\WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe"
"BootStrapInstalledPath"="\\Windows\\WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe"
"FedDocURLChkDate"=hex:***********
"DeviceToken"=***********"
"DeviceTokenTimeSkew"=hex:******
"DeviceTokenExpireTime"=hex:***********
"DeviceTokenCreatedTime"=hex:**********
"DevicePuid"="*************"
"LiveIdDeviceRegisterEndpoint"="https://login.live.com/ppsecure/DeviceAddCredential.srf"
"LiveIdAuthEndpoint"="https://login.live.com/liveidSTS.srf"
"DeviceGuid"="****************"
"EulaAccepted"=dword:00000001
"WebServiceUpdateServer"="https://client.marketplace.windowsmo...tstrap/02/2009"

Another snippit some users may need:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Versions]
"Aku"=".5.3.00"

Edit: All Cabs from Thread have been collected into this first post and have been stripped of the DeviceID's

1. Original-WMMarketplace.cab The official cab downloaded by the older marketplaceclient.exe. Without Shortcuts.

2. Original-WMMarketplace_sc.cab Derived from official cab downloaded by the older cab which gives the opportunity to install to Storage Space. Without Shortcuts.

3. Short-WMMarketplace.cab The Official Cab but this time with an added Short cut to the App.

4. Short-WMMarketplace_sc.cab Derived from official cab downloaded by the older cab which gives the opportunity to install to Storage Space. With a short cut to the app.

5. XDA-Developers-patched-WMMarketplace_sc.cab Last version that can install to Storage Location and also adds apps Install to Storage Location from inside the Marketplace and makes a shortcut in Programs.

To Check out other Local MarketPlaces Disable GSM change Location in ControlPanel, reboot, then Log into Marketplace through Wifi.

Minimum requirements:
.Net 3.5
Minimum AKU till now 1.4.1
Minimum Build till now 2?????
THIS is WWE 0409, so you would have to manually rename the EXE.MUI.04XX to correspond with your Country code.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old way (v1.0.2201.0000)
Marketplace would use WCELoad.exe and the command line parameter /noui

The new way (v1.1.1109)
Setup.dll files included in cab file tell Marketplace where to install

I dont understand.. is this a fix so the apps will be installed on your storage card instead of on the device?

[Brendo]

the first version is original official ms cab
the second version is an editted version i made of the original so it runs off storage card instead of device

My one is the official cab

I was planning on checking SD card installation this weekend.

So Thanks a lot

And for the information around where did you find the switch to SD?
(did a comparison of the two versions and registr settings but found nothing to be pointing to the SD install change)

Also the Aman version that downloaded the rest of the needed files, after downloading those files, was still started through the old Marketplace.exe.
Does this version do it's jiggy without that old .exe?

Looks like it has a minimum need for .Net 3.5 Mobile.

[Brendo]

this is the new version that amans downloads - that way you dont need his cab
aku reg change lets some users access marketplace (found in thread here somewhere but not in the cabs)
all i did to the cab was change the hardcoded install location (from \windows to %InstallDir%\Program Files)

[Noonski]

Re-Write

What i meant was that The new market place does not create any shortcuts to itself.

So in the previous case WMMarketplace.exe would start WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe.

So if a user that never had WMMarketplace.exe, how would it ever start up WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe, besides going to windows folder and making the shortcut themselves as the cabs you posted do not make the links.

So in that case all that is needed is just a shortcut.

Pretty cool if all it takes to get SD install is installing it "Not into Windows"

[Brendo]

ahhh, i see, will have to update (unless someelse can do it)
essentially it is: change install location and values for registry
shall have to add icon (which starts fullclient)
you need to select storage card as your install location. %instaldir% is like a wildcard and enables installing to storage card
