removing programs from wizard

Guys,
I'm not able to remove any programs via activesync from my wizard.
I can see the programs listed in activesync but I can't remove any of the installed programs; it's driving me crazy!
Please help!
Cheers,
Arne

Highlight a selected program and click remove- job done!
Alternatively uninstall programs from your PPC

That is exactly the problem; how do I remove a program from my PPC?
Because via Activesync doesn't work.....
The program I like to remove is minimo (mozilla for PPC's)
Thanks!

Have the same problem, Windows can not delete programfiles. When i install an update of a program, the setup failed. If i delete files manualy i can install the update. Had the same problem with original rom.

Try....
Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs.
This should do what you are after.

my dear friend thats the problem....by doing any of the above i cannot uninstall any programmes ...it say cant remove programmes but do u delet it from your list of removable progrrames...funny

Same here. Minimo would not uninstall
went to remove prog. it said it did but all it did was remove it from the remove programs list.
Hard reset here we go. Pocket mechanic was the same for me.

It's ok when you exactly know where the program is installed - you should simply delete its files. But how can I upgrade to .NET CF 2.0?
Installer can't remove previous version and I can't delete files manually cause I don't know what files to delete :-(

I've had the same problem trying to remove minimo and the Atomic Cannons Demo. :? So far these are the only items I have tried to uninstall. I just deleted the folders and shortcuts, but I'd rather figure out what's causing the problem!
Running the QTek test ROM (WWE) on a US Tmo MDA.

I also have that. however most of the time it works for me to soft-reset and then remove. for some reason that works (for me)

I would recommend a soft reset just prior to removing software from a WM5 PPC. WM5 only minimises most programs instead of closing them when you click the X so the application stays open therefore files are still in use which prevents a successful removal.
Even if the progam has been closed by Start>Settings>System>Memory>Running Programs or a task manager like in SPB Pocket Plus there is a chance that there are still associated files locked open unless a soft reset is done before uninstall. Windows Applications on the desktop will normally prompt for a restart after uninstall if files were in use however it looks like the majority of Windows Mobile apps (or Windows itself) dont have the same functionality (some Mobile apps do prompt for restart but not very many).
Also, apps with today screen plugins should be disabled, before a soft reset then uninstall the app as WM seems to lock the files open when active on today screen as well.
I havent had the uninstall error once since i have done a soft reset before uninstalling any software, hopefully others will have the same success. I know this wont apply to every situation but so far so good for me. :wink:

Puckster is right.Run your task manager to see all runing programs and close them before trying to uninstall or simply soft reset prior to uninstall.It works without a flaw.

Comm Manager is corrupted, HELP plz

I tried to install dutythroy_black-3g-comm-manager_.cab.fixed and I install it to the SC card. However when I tried to remove that software the Kaiser said that it was no able to remove it and do you want that it been removed from programs list...
Now my comm manager is corrupted and it shows only one choice in the upper left corner.
I already tried to run restorecom.reg but it didn't help. Any way to run original comm manager cab installation or do something else which helps me...
Also... I tried some other Latest cabs like task manager & windows live and both of these says that it hase been mentioned older windows mobile device?? Is this only warning not to be worried or did I something wrong?

Gotta raise this because I have a problem...
Plz... anybody could help me?
Anybody could make a copy what are original registry settings of Comm Manager... if that would help...

PeeHoo, why would you install a core function like the Comm Manager to the SD Card? That's asking for problems like you now have. Do a hard reset and try again.

Thx for wise answer!!
I did so!! But after I uninstall this dutythrow 3g comm manager. if you read my question more carefully you can read what I wrote... However there was mistake of written english (SC was mentioned SD) and word install should be I installed....
This hard reset answer is really nice... anybody really can help? I do know that HR help but I am trying to avoid that...

Unless you can write a cab, or bribe someone into doing, to reinstall the original skin, which I'm sure you copied before replacing right?, you're screwed.
This is where SPB Back up really helps!
You may not like the answers you get, but most of the people here won't lead you astray. Easiest way is to HR. You can try backing up now with SPB & then hard reset. The customazation cabs should replace & stick.

installed SPB shell 3 and chaos now

I installed the SPB shell 3on my Xperia and had lots of troubles with it, like no way to goes back to Today panel, no more X functions, and stall....but....I like it...
Now, I reinstalled the Xperia original software, and, if someone could tell me....Before installing the SPB shell 3, what exactly I need to do FIRST?
what Dll or else I MUST install first...
Thanks you

if U using stok ROM RAA1 maybe
try update ROM first

download spb 3.0 from the spb site. Then look up a serial somewhere. had no problems at all

It worked, for me without any modifications... I was on the R1 ROM at that point though.

hello
try to install with the exe file instead of the cab file

after install spb shell 3, clean ur star up at windows, delete all. use explorer.. n soft reset. now u can choose manuali 2 spb shell menu

All of you, many thanks for yours advises, and going to study first what is my Rom number and, if I update my Room from, say 1 to 3, do I still need the number 2? sorry my Rom, but, in Hungarian a Rom, is a gipsy, BTW....
I did not knew, a CAB file instead of an EXE file installer could make a difference.....then? a golden rule would be to use an .exe file instead of a cab file?
ok, going to try it and agin, thanks.....happy am I with the XPA forum....really

ok, and what Rom do you have? or use? thanks
then it must be something into the cab file..

Try the trial of SPB 3.0.1, not 3.0. Google to find it. This resolves some issues.

perhaps your english is not fluent like mine, but, also, you are able to communicate with another language and, THAT, is the best...What is your native tongue? mine is french, then after a small english and then a very little hungarian...
thanks for you help sweetie

I will, but, after reading all the helpful post, I just found out my Xperia was still runing on Customization version R15A with the variant generik_uk,
Now after having made the update, I see that I have now the R2AA010, perhaps, this is also why I have or had, who knows trouble.... Do I also must update the generik UK ?
Now, if I like to try WM 6.5 do I must update thru the forum, tho the R3AA? or not? here, I am lost, and yes true cooking is ok with me but Rom and UI are not for me...better some Rhum and Coke...heahh
Now I do wonder if it would be also better to reformat my microcard? because I almost install all softwares into it.....

I flashed my X1 to nX1i ROM (found here) and it's working very well so far.

Install failed and now wont uninstall

Hey Everyone,
I am running build 217531.5.0.20 ROM on 6.5 on an ATT Fuze.
Today I decided to give the push to talk feature a try and noticed the PTT software was not in this cooked rom so, I DL it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446652
I installed into the Storage Card not the device and SR. The cab installed no problem but, I am not getting the program so, I thought I would reinstall it. Now, it tells me that it detects the previous version and wants to uninstall the old one first. It asks me if that is ok and I say yes then, it tells me it can't. Continue anyway? I say yes and it fails.
So then I turn off TF3D and SR. Try again and nothing. THen I try a SR and from the beginning, I try to isntall in the device and tells it asks me if I want to remove the old and I say yes, then it says it can't and asks if I want to conitnues anyway, I say yes and it fails.
Does anyone know how to remove the PTT so I can try again?
There is no PTT registry in the HKLM, I have searched for it and all it finds is the remap keys. I used total comander and can not find any of the files or folders for it to remove it on it's own.
Any help is appreciated in advance...
THANK YOU!
UPDATE*********
Ok, so I found the rstry key in the HKLU/Software/HTC/PTT and I removed it. No change even after a SR.

most straightforward, how bout a hard-reset? since backup with messages and calls are easily done wif PIM backup.

Uh, was the ptt button mapped to something useful prior to trying to install the ptt cab (I'm thinking it had to be). You're problem is that you already had the ptt button mod in rom, I suspect. Look in \windows for long_ptt.lnk and short_ptt.lnk. You may not be able to install ptt, but if you do, definitely do it to main memory.

sipchange
