Sweet! Even without the added features you mentioned, this is by far better than having to manually type the list out!

GREAT job OddbOd!

Oh, let me point out that I had to install the Embedded Visual Basic Runtimes to make this work. You can get them from http://msdn.microsoft.com/mobility/w.../evb_eula.aspx

How about an alphabetical listing? Can't imagine how you'd do this simply. Maybe export to Excel?

Thanks for the correct link mate, because I already had the runtime libraries installed for PocketChat I had no way of knowing for sure whether they were needed or not. I wasn't keen on doing a hard reset to find out :)

Don't mean to step on your toes or steal your thunder, but I threw something together over-night. I am using the same principal but this version also will show you the Install path . Also has options to export to text, CSV or tab-delimited. Just copy the CIS.EXE file in the zip anywhere on the device and run. Shouldn't require the eVB runtimes.

EDIT: This might require a dll to be packaged with it. I am going to pull the zip until I have a chance to look at it some more.

EDIT #2: The attached ZIP contains a new version that does not require the dll.

The EXE must be copied to and run from your PPC. It is not a Windows executable.

Installed but when run I get the error "Script Error: Automation server can't create object Line:97.

Ok thanks. I guess I need to package this with a dll. I am going to have another look at it and will repsond back when I figure it out.

EDIT: I re-posted a new ZIP that does not need the dll. See this thread.

Beautiful, I was hoping someone would come up with a proper utility to do this (down with VB bloat!) since it's such a simple concept. Just one small thing, the ListBox height is currently a few pixels too large which is causing its bottom edge to disappear underneath the text at the bottom of the display, other than that it's perfect.

Doesn't seem to work on WM5 on an x51v. Displays fine with no errors, but no programs are displayed.

Sorry, but I don't have WM5 to test this on. Does WM5 use the .UNLOAD files found in the Windows directory to log installs?

Did a search and couldn't find any unload files on the device, so apparently not.

Haven't tried it, but does SKTracker list apps?

kscase · 01-01-06, 02:57 PM

I can't install this either.

Help! because I really really like not having to keep track of all my installed apps manually.

Thanks,
Karen

Edit #1 - Sorry, I should have finished reading all the posts.
