The file is not a valid Windows CE Setup file

If you've tried installing Bluetooth Remote Control on your device, and you are having trouble, such as getting this message :

The file RemoteControl.ARMV4.CAB is not a valid Windows CE Setup file

You must be working on some Windows Moblile 2003 device. I did not have the time to fix this but if you are interested in getting it to work, you can proceed as follows, if you're familiar with a CE cab file structure :

  • Expand the files on the PC using WinRar for instance,
  • Rename 0SmartBT.001 to smarbt.exe
  • Rename BTHelper.002 to bthelper.dll
  • Just put those two files on the PPC wherever you want.

You won't have a nice icon on your programs list, but at least it should help you run it.

Enjoy !

Hi Jerome,

I don't think you remember me, but we communicated over email sometime back regarding the installation on Pocket PC 2003. Unfortunately following these guidelines also did not get me a successful installation. However, I have now created an installer for Pocket PC 2003 which I would like to contribute if you are interested.

warm regards,
