Hi all,
sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn't not find an answer anywhere.
Is it possible to force the TomTom Taster which comes on my Vodafone v1615 app CD to install to my microSD HC card?
At the moment it only installs to the device itself and the option "Install program into the default installation folder" in Activesync is greyed out (as it is with all apps found in the Add/Remove Programs screen when connected to the v1615).
I've installed TomTom Home but cannot see a way to move the installation folder or my one free map download to the microSD card.
Thanks for any help forthcoming

Its actually nothing worse than copying the TomTom installation folder to your storage card. At least thats what I did. Havent reinstalled TomTom in like 10 ROM-flashs/hard resets, I just make a new shortcut with each flash/reset.
i use tomtom and installed successfully to the tilt main phone storage w/no problems. the application isn't that big, only the map data which is on the sdhc card
check with tomtom support!

M4cr0s, thats exactly what I'm trying to achieve and have done with my previous iPAQ. So it is just a case of copying the installation folder over? This wont corrupt any installation files or reg pointers?

There are probably some reg pointers, but it since it works fine here they are either not necessary or the application will automatically create them if their not there. (actually surprisingly many applications works fine installed to storage card and just made shortcut to upon a new flash/hardreset)
To test, just copy the TomTom folder (program files/navigator I think the default path is for the kaisers bundled version) to your storage card, rename the original TomTom folder to something else and try run it from the storage card. If it works, you're pretty much set I'd say.

Hi,
When I install something onto my Vario from my PC it automatically installs in the default location.
On my other PDA I get the choice, how come I don't with my Vario, and how can I install something to my mini SD?
Thanks all,
Thought I had sorted it, but no.
Any ideas, I want to install TomTom but don't have enough room.

Does the Vario use WM 2003? If so that is why everything from a PC install goes to main memory. Do a search, there is a cab installer program somewhere that you can put on your Vario that will allow you to select where you want to install.

Naa it uses WM5, my Axim uses WM2003SE and that asks.
Will do a search for the cab thanks.
Well the thing is, tomtom HAS to be installed to the device i guess. I always install tomtom naviagator 6.02 (with the todayscreen plugin). It comes up with where I wish to install it, sd card or the device. Of course i select the sd card, but nevertheless it installs in the device. I've tested it with several roms, and also with the WM6 rom. Problem is still there, so i guess it's not a bug but a feature, haha.

you can move the executables to the SD card and it will work... just move the navigator directory from program files to sd program files, make a link to it, and everything works... as for TT5 and TT6, have both installed on SD card. And also you can remove those TTODAY files from root dir if not using the TT today screen, and also all the files for contact navigation if you dont use that. At the end only the executable dir has to be somewhere.

I have copied the installation files across from my old microSD card and arranged with ALK to have the app deactivated and set up for migration.
Have run the install and it says installed fine.
But when I try to run it, it says "copilot is not a valid pocket pc application"...
Have tried reinstalling, have tried using shortcut from programs and from program files on storage card. Even tried installing to device memory.
Any ideas?
strange mine works perfectly ok- I copied both folders over from the original SD card over to the microSD card on my TytnII. then ran the installer from one of the folders and it installed ok.
The only think I made sure was that both folders were at the root level of the storage card....
Thats how mine was...
Anyway am in the midst of a hard reset as I fear that various other satnav trials have mucked up my dll's...
Update - hard reset didnt help at all... same problem...
works beautifully on mine.
you do need to make sure you are using a 2577 with the 6.0.4.110 binaries or it definitely won't work.
Just for your info ... TyTNII with MemMap v5 - 3.3TB of UK ord survey ... works brilliantly as well
I can't load my desktop version and update it. The cd's are corrupt or something!
So I can't even open the copilot on the device to check the version. I have run the patch'd update from alk support - but no joy?
So ALK have confirmed that the replaced version on my storage card is the latest build but no joy...
Does this have to be installed on the kaiser memory or SD Card.
On my Wizard I installed it on my SD Card no problems, but on my Kaiser it installs fine, but when I click to run, nothing happens ???
Mine works fine from SD Card. If you're having problems try using Resco, TC, etc. to look at the shortcut properties. Make sure the .lnk is pointing to the right place.
I run "Live" from the SD and it works fine. Unlike Google, which gives you the option of installing to the SD...and then installs to the internal memory anyway.
Strange
For now i can only install it onto main memory, checked links, etc...

What version are you using? Here is a link to the latest original desktop .exe straight from MS. 10.6.0030.2100:
http://rapidshare.com/files/77537208/WLM_v10.6.0030.2100.rar
This one has not been hacked & includes the contact sync fix from MS. Try it.
To install run from desktop. This .exe includes several versions & will select the correct one for your device.
Thanks Gsleon3
This release installs fine and seems to be actually regularly pushing my email (so far)
Today i just flashed my phone and put newer ROM,
so as i start now to install over again iGO MYWay 2006+ navigation software i would like to use previous settings with old POI's i had before.
Those settings and all files i saved on my SD card Storage card which wasn't deleted during ROM flashing off course.
So, now when i go again to install iGO he always automatically install it into My Device/Program Files where he puts in folder called 'iGO 2006' and inside is only one file called 'igo' and when i start application it opens normally softare but with defauld settings and can't force application to 'work' with settings i have on my Storage card!
Please help me with suggestions what to do?!
I tryed to copy those 'igo' file from 'my device' to 'storage device' where all those old settings are, but than won't even start navigation software
actully, what could maybe solve the problem is how to force kaiser to install iGO software on storage card, not on my device ?!
noone? please, i'm desperate
i did it! need to copy those files from computer (which i had copy before flashing), not from storage card (those files which need to be on device)
and now everything working well!
I have several cab file programs (PDS Status Full, HHC v10 Final, Google Maps and Youtubeplay), that are stored in the "My Documents" folder . Can I move them to the storage card and still run the apps. from there in order to free up memory on the device?
The CABs are installation files. Once you've opened them and installed them you can do whatever you want with them, move, delete, whatever. They're not needed anymore.
What kilrah said.
I just keep them in a dedicated folder on my storage card so I can easily reinstall the programs if required.

Ditto. I've reflashed my Hermes about 10 or so times and I'm pretty sure I'll do the same with the Kaiser. It's very convienient to have the installation files on the Storage card.
GREAT, thanks...
just upgraded from an 8525 to a Tilt in the last month and still learning. Found this site and have downloaded several programs mentioned here.
