I found the setsecurity program from the web, but when I place it in my windows ce system, and it said ” Can’t find setsecurity (or one of its components) Make ure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraies are available. ” Can anyone help me on this???

I’ve made a dll and exe file to install unsigned cab files on the default directory in silent mode, you can also disable the security question to install unsigned cabs and execute exe files.

You can dowload the demo version on http://cssoft.freehosting.net/website2/default.html.

Yes, it will – but I do think that is for the best, so at least first time there is a way for users to decide if they want or not to install the application. After that, when app is doing automatic updates, it is disabled – and updates work seamlessly.

Hi,

thanks for the info. But, in order to switch this registry key to turn off the security question you would need to install the above code in your app. But won’t this security question pop up at least once before the code/installer has a chance to disable the message via the registry.

confused?

Thank…

Dukelupus – seems i made a mistake, the ’security prompt’ policy is the same on WM6 as it is on WM5 – must be my code for updating the registry doesnt work on WM6. Thanks for pointing that out !

Sure – on a factory configured axim x50/wm5, i download my exe, click it, and wm5 prompts me to confirm i want to run unsigned app. i click yes, and it runs. and all times after that, it runs without the prompt. i recompile my exe, download it and try run it again, surprise surprise it asks me to confirm. I then set the registry value

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies::0000101a=1

Then recompile my app, download, run – and voila, no more unsigned app complaints.

Try the same on the ipaq 214/wm6, and the registry setting has no effect. it still prompts me to confirm unsigned apps, the first time i try to run them. This is no good for me because i my app downloads exe updates to itself on the fly and needs to be able to spawn the new exe without user intervention. :-(

Barry, are you sure? I am using IPaq 214 and it works just fine there.

This works for a dell axim x50 running WM5, but unfortunately doesnt work for a HP IPaq 214 running WM6. Yet again, micrsoft are forcing software engineers around the world to have to waste their lives trying to fix things broken in subsequent OS revisions.

Like the post title says, “Windows Mobile 5 and 6″.

I’m curious if this would work on Windows Mobile 6? Did anyone tried to test this approach on WM6?

Worth while saying that if you don’t also spesify /nodelete the cab file will be deleted from the installation source.

Yes, you still have to include “/silent /noui”. Flipping the registry key only removes the security question.

Do you still have to include “/silent /noui” if you flip the key?

I use Nokia Intellisync and it’s a bit hit and miss passing arguments to CAB file installs.
