Add/Remove programs problems!

Hi guys, need help pls. I did a hard reset on an mda III and re-partnered with activesync. When i try to re-install my apps(spb p+ 3,Journal bar,etc) the add/remove window flashes on screen for a second but nothing else happens. I've even turned of anti-virus and firewall. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Even i am having a weird problem with the add/remove programs. If i try to uninstall a program it gives me an error and doesnt remove it. I have to manually remove. But the memory doesnt increase when i remove it. Can some one help.

voicecmd.exe not found

Hi
Just flashed my rom with bal666's splash editor, which is so easy to use.
Then restored my data using xBackup for the 1st time when it came to softreset i got an error saying
'Cannot find 'VoiceCmd' (or one of its components)'
Does this file belong to Microsofts Voice program or something else and whats the best way of fixing the error now and to stop it happening again on the next restore.
Thanks

fixed problem.
it was microsoft voice but i don't know why it happened
thanks

voicecmd.exe issue on htc touch diamond
I dont know how i managed to do it, but even after upgrading to latest official ROM, i deleted something and then I started getting "voicecmd.exe" errors every time the phone started up. My fix was to install Microsoft Voice Commander. This worked but i found that I was using memory for a program I dont use, or didnt seem to work out of the box.
It might be a great thing, but i havent lost any time trying to learn how to use it, and even without it, voice speed dial works normally/perfectly and allows to start not only a call to a contact (you still need to record the voice tags) but also to start applications.
If anyone out there has decided to remove microsoft voice command, like i did, then you should use a tool like sktools to find invalid registry keys and you will find the key by searching on sktools registry tool, for "voicecmd".
I should have taken note of the path but i can tell at least that the word "startup" is in it.
Anyway, removed key, phone starts faster and hey, nothing like 50% used memory!
Screw TF3D and thumbs up for handy weather!
Btw, love my HTC Touch Diamond...

how did you fix it guys ?

removing programs nor working

When i install a program it's no longer possible to remove it under remove programs. Only thing i can do is remove the program under activesync. Do i miss something in the startup of my Tytn II? A program or shortcut that record installing programs?

Maybe someone can post his startup folder for instance so i can compare what i'am missing?

Could you elaborate? what do you mean "it is no longer possible to remove programs"? Do the progs not show up in your remove prog list on your Kaiser? Or do they show up, but do you get an error when trying to remove them?
Also does this happen to ALL programs or just some?

They don't show up under installed programs and it happens for all programs.

Wow, weird.
Afaik there is no program (launched at startup) that monitors installations. Sorry man, have no clue what is going on.

Can't run Messaging app

Hey gang,
HELP! I'm trying to figure out how to fix my Messaging application, it is currently broken. All of my other apps seem to be working.
I am not blaming Throttle Launcher, but it got broken sometime shortly after uninstalling it; I tried to fix my problem by reinstalling it, but no go. So I don't think it was the root cause.
If I click the messaging icon in Programs nothing happens. If I try to run tmail.exe from \Windows, nothing happens. Checking my task manager process listing, I see poutlook.exe running, but with 0KB for Memory and only 1 thread. I do not see anything related to tmail.exe listed in my task manager.
I have soft-reset with no change in behavior.
I would just hard-reset but I want to use PIM backup first, and of course, since it can't talk to pocket outlook, I can't backup my messages.
Any help here? What can I look for? Registry settings? Specific files? I do not have another device here to compare with.

pim back up will back everything even in the absence of some messaging components
i advice to run a back up and perform hard reset then restore

Thanks, but I tried PIM backup 2.8 and it doesn't allow me to backup the messages, which is really the only thing I want besides the call history.
I've used PIM backup many times before, so I can see that it really wants to use the MAPI components to do the messaging backup.
I wonder... does pim.vol hold messages, too?

Solution found
Well, I tried searching before my original posting and didn't find any solution.
A fresh search this morning turned up this answer, which (YAY!) worked for me:

Help with uninstalling something with SKTools

hi i have installed a the Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager on my tytn ll but dont want it anymore and now i cant uninstall it, i try to run the installation process again to have the existing installation removed but i always get a message that it cannot be uninstalled, so i have gotten the SKTools program to remove it but still cannot find or remove this thing, can someone tell me where to look or how to get rid of it. thank you.

In SKTools:
- to be safe, start by doing a backup of your device (Sprite Backup or similar)
- select installed programs, then select the app you want to uninstall (and no other, otherwise they will also be uninstalled !)
- it shows all the components installed for that app
- make a screen capture of the installed components and save it for later reference
- select "Action", then "Uninstall marked" (not Uninstall marked standard !)
- if all goes well, it should be uninstalled
- otherwise, manually uninstall the components in your saved screen capture.

hi and thanks. see this is the problem tho, this 'Colour 3G 10 Button touch home dialer comm manager' is not showing up in the installed programs, i actually cant find it anywhere, i mean i know its there somewhere obviously, but i've even unzipped the file on my computer then looked for the files that came out of it manually in the windows folder and a few other places and using the search function of the fone and on SKTools and still can't find it haha. bugging me man. actually the search function doesnt bring up anything, i type in the exact file name of a few of the unzipped files and get no results. and now actually my original dial pad on the phone has been messed up too.so if anyone knows where i can find the windows mobile 6.1 phone dialpad i'd appreciate that too. does it even come separate?

First, did you soft reset after your uninstall? It often helps.
Also, being careful and using a registry editor, did you check if there are any unwanted remnants of the old dialer in the registry?

hi, thanks. no i didnt do a soft reset, i dont even know what that is actually. and i can't uninstall the app thats my problem. how would i know what files to look for in the registry?
thank u.

1) search for soft reset on this forum
2) under HKLM/software and HKCU/software, look for the name of the editor/developper or the name of the app
Again, be careful

Have you made sure commanager is not running before uninstall?
A way to make sure is to soft-reset "turn device off then on "
