According to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx
Windows Installer Error Messages
"Internal Error: 2356 ActiveSync.cab" means "Could not locate cabinet in
stream". According to another item I found:
http://community.macrovision.com/showthread.php?t=114727
Internal Error 2356. Data1.cab (Please Help!)
"Chris_MS : Q: What would cause Error 2356 Couldn't locate cabinet in
stream: Data1.cab when applying a patch? What types of things should I look
at in my install that might be causing this problem?
Chris_MS : A: This error generally indicates that the specified CAB is not
embedded in the MSI or is not available. The first step would be to verify
that the CAB exists at the specified location and that the patch was created
successfully. You can also get similar
Chris_MS : errors if the sequence numbers of any added or patched files
conflict with an existing media table entry, causing MSI to look in the
wrong cabinet for the file."
As to suggesting you don't know the difference between trial and retail
software, EVERY PDA I've been exposed to has ALWAYS supplied a retail
version of Outlook. This includes the Toshiba e740 I bought in 2002, the
PPC-6700 I now own, Palm Treo 650, 700w, 700p, a number of different IPaqs,
the MotoQ, ALL of them. Why T-Mobile decided to supply you a trial copy is
beyond me, but I'm glad to know about it so I can avoid T-Mobile and suggest
others avoid them as well. If you still believe "That particular respondent
was wrong...", I'll be more than happy to furnish you with photocopies of a
dozen or more CD labels from my two devices and those of a number of other
folks I know who have PDAs. It's certainly not my fault that T-Mobile
short-changed you.
And by the way, MY first "PC" was a TRS-80 Model I, fully decked out with a
48Kb Expansion Interface and two 35 track, single side, single density, 5
1/4", full width floppy drives.

If anyone has a better answer, now would be a good time to speak up.

Okay ... did that. No dice. The full package is working ... accounting
... Business Contacts and so on.
ActiveSync will install and remove 3rd party programs from the PDA ...
so I know it can communicate with the PDA.
Outlook seems to have no problems manipulating the data file, adding,
editing and deleting from it.
Both the PDA and Outlook can, independently, retrieve email from Google.
I am running a three-machine / two user network ... there is absolutely
no justification for MS Exchange.
I was able to uninstall Windows Mobile 6 and replace it with a
(slightly) older revision. I know that this is clutching at straws, but
I am trying every avenue I can think of to resolve this problem.
I am not the only person who was able to synchronize one time and one
time only. Another poster reported, as I experienced, that synch worked
fine until the first time the PDA was unplugged and never again.
That's the only solid clue I have ... the unplugging. That and an
"Internal Error: 2356 ActiveSync.cab" when I attempt a repair of
ActiveSync from within [Control Panel / Add or Remove] that says
'something' isn't kosher with ActiveSync.
This is a tech support newsgroup. The only response I've gotten so far
asserted that I didn't know the difference between a trial version and a
full one. That particular respondent was wrong ... but there doesn't
seem to be anyone else reading this list with any more chops than that.
(Before you blast me, let me point out that the MSFT knowledge base
articles are out of date, referencing older versions of Outlook and
ActiveSync. I have tried, over the past 5 days, EVERY suggestion offered
in response to a query on "85010014". The self-repair code in Outlook
and ActiveSync reports no problems. There isn't a workable solution
posted anywhere on the Microsoft web site that considerable searching
can uncover.)
I don't understand it.
I have an unaltered Toshiba standard install of Windows XP Home running
on a modestly equipped Toshiba Satellite laptop trying to synch a top
end PIM to a popular PDA running the current version of Windows Mobile
6. The current version of ActiveSync (by Microsoft) is not on talking
terms with the current version of Outlook (by Microsoft). I'm willing to
spend a sizeable sum to buy into the whole Office behemoth IF I can get
the PDA and Outlook to synchronize, but all I am getting here is
silence. This is essential functionality and I am posting on a
corporate-sponsored newsgroup.
And all I am getting is silence.
Is this how I will be treated -after- I drop a wad on Office Pro +
Accounting?
