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:
Cheers

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.

Editing program name in Remove Programs list?

Im assuming if this is possible it would have to be done with a registry editor. My list of installed programs is piling up. Sometimes I cant stand how the program is named in the uninstall scroll box and somtimes I cant tell what program is what. I am wondering if you can rename a value in the registry to "clean up" the installed programs list.

Easy Mate... if you are not comfortable with registry editor then use SK Tools to remove the program name from uninstall list...
OR
Use some registry editor and goto
HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL
and then remove or rename the specific entry....
whatever u like...

Thats all I needed! thanks. I was in HKLM/SOFTWARE/APPS which didnt change it... thanks!

I know this thread is rather old but I have a related issue.
I tried to install Dotfreds TaskManager which however does not work on the HTC S740 (Rose). It also does not uninstall from the Remove Programs list. So I removed everything manually, including the entry under HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL
However, the program is still listed in the Remove Programs function. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I am facing the same problem. Removed everything in HKLM/SECURITY/APPINSTALL but the program still remains in Remove Program list. I've removed the program manually, though. What could be wrong ?

Using WinRAR or a similar application, uncompress the cab you originally installed, look at _setup.xml or the .000 file and delete the registry keys / files specified there. Soft reset for posterity.
Hope this helps!

Hi dude
In SKTools what are your "Installed Programs" settings??
Try to set the options like this:
2) - Do not use Setup.dll -> No (default)
- Allow risky operatios -> Yes
- Forced files and folders deletion -> Yes
- Exclude strings -> windows\.... (default)
than reinstall the Cube, soft-reset, uninstall using SK, soft-reset and look for it in the SK Install app
2) if 1) still doesn't work try to set also the last option:
- Exclude strings -> (nothing, delete all)
than reinstall the Cube, soft-reset, uninstall using SK, soft-reset and look for it.
However, after the whole operation set again the SK Install options to default (or you can allow the "Forced files and folders deletion", like for my usual option), expecially the "Exclude strings" one!!
Let me know!!
Ciao

guys,thanks for help,but none of the methods works, the HTC Biotouch still there, I've had no idea.anyway,still thanks for help.

Ok,concerning SKTools (what version??), did you well follow all my steps above-mentioned??
Than, i can understand that SKTools doesn't work but "Alex" said you how to manually delete it, so what's the problem in this way??
I add that some files could be hidde/system, so you need a 3rd party explorer software, like Resco Explorer, to see and delete!!!
Hope to help you!

Calligrapher 8.6

I have Tytn II with L26_Kaiser_Diamond_V5 (Hybrid 3.29.707) Rom.
Installed Calligrapher 8.6 and unable to select either writeanywhere or writepad from the SIP menu or by anyother means. In short after installing calligrapher and softresetting i am not able to use it.
Can anyone please help

Don't know if it will work or not but, you might try installing the Default_IM_WM5.cab or SipChange.cab and see if one of them will let you select it.

no success
^^ Solution -- not working

Assuming-
1. you installed with the desktop loader EXE
2. you had an active ActiveSync session and your phone was properly connected and
3. you selected to have both Write Anywhere and Write Pad SIPs selected when finalizing install to PPC
You should have entries for both in the SIP and a folder under programs with the EXEs. If you cannot find any of this you haven't properly installed the program.
Reconnect your phone and make sure you have an active Sync session, run the setup EXE from your desktop and follow the instructions that appear on your screen. (See pic)

Yes of course
The program was installed from the desktop pc and softreset was done. Both writeanywhere and writepads are installed and it is shown on the list of SIPs (when we click small arrow near the keyboard icon) but unable to select them. I am able to access the options menu of calligrapher from Start>settings>system>calligrapher.

ok now do this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301433

Please see the image
boomermax
I had done that yesterday itself but the problem is menu showsup faster but unable to select writeanywhere or writepad.

so basically I've been no help at all...LOL
I'm sure you've uninstalled and reinstalled and have probably have redownloaded a fresh copy and tried installing that...
what happens when you select it from programs? Nothing?

Reinstalled
Reinstalled few times, when i select from programs nothing happens adn i don't know is it the problem of the L26 ROM or Windows 6.1 or the Calligrapher 8.6 --
if some one can help i will be grateful
Earlier also there was some problem without a solution for someone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353077

try disabling the cube if you have it. I had this problem with transcriber, worked after I disabled the cube.

NO CUBE
I don't have cube but transcriber is working perfect only i have problem with calligrapher

still probably no help
have you tried having the installer remove transcriber from SIP during install?

Yes of course
Even without transcriber calligrapher will not work.

what if you tried this sequence and substituted calligrapher for the keyboard install?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2271142&postcount=692
Phatware states calligrapher doesn't play well with third party apps that affect touch screen behavior and that is probably the problem here

not yet
^^ done without success

posted in another forum in reference to SIP troubles and Calligrapher...
"The main difference between CalliGrapher 8.6 and all previous versions is that it has been compiled with recently released Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. It is remotely possible that the new compiler has performance issues, but we have not heard anything about this and have not seen any evidence in our internal tests. The only difference that we’ve noticed when using the new development tool is that size of the compiled binary files slightly increased.
We will continue testing and will post additional information if we have any. "
Maybe trying previous version might help.
Also, taking the logic from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398091 it might serve you to start from scratch and reload ROM then tackle this calligrapher issue then move on to loading other applications.

Partially success - Hard reset
I have done a hard reset.
installed first the calligrapher 8.6
soft reset
installed default_im_cab
changed sip through default_im_cab as writeanywhere
soft reset
Now writeanywhere is available and working in all applications except for Lexisgoo dictionary 3.1.1
Any help or suggesstions?

How to remove program manually?

Hi,
I need some assistance, if possible...
Namely, on my TyTN II (Windows Mobile 6.1.) I have installed Manilla 2D. It worked fine, but suddenly it "blocked", meaning I have start screen where is says "tap here to launch TouchFlo", and when I "tap it for few seconds it's written "launching TouchFlo", and that screen returns to previous message "tap here to launch TouchFlo"...
I've tried to reinstall Manilla, does not help.
I've tried to remove the program over Settings -> System -> Remove programs, but it can not be removed like that...it always remains installed.
Is there a way to remove this program?
Thanks in advance

Try this..
go to Start-Settings-Today-Items and see if TouchFLO is checked. If it is, uncheck it , softreset, and try removing again. Soft reset.

Go to start >settings > today > items and uncheck Touch Flo do a soft reset and then remove with remove program.
M2D usually does that when there is a conflict with another app what new apps have you put on your phone recently or were you just trying to put M2D on your phone ?

@azahaidi/denco7
Thanks for advice. Still, did not helped.
I've cheked TF out, went to Rermove Programs and after inital question "Do you want to remove....",and after pressing "yes", I got the message "XDA-Team Manilla 2D" was not completly removed. Do you want ro remove it from the list of installed programs?"...I press "yes" again, but than happens nothing, program is on list of programs in storage memory.
It is not any more in Today -> Items, but on list of programs still exist.
I've try to install some newer version of M2D v21, but I just got the message
"Instalation was unsuccessful. The program or setting can not be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
I mean, WTF is now this?
