Guest mkonieczko Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 This is really strange. Yesterday I followed some links from KLM to AvantGo as I thought I would take advantage of their on-line timetable. At the AvantGo site, they claimed to support most PocketPC devices and even though the SPV was not listed, they suggested giving it a go! Like a fool I did and got as far as the message on my SPV saying that the .cab file had been installed successfully, it then simply went back to the menu screen, i.e. no questions about where to install etc. I checked all over the phone, and also used explorer, but could not find any trace of AvantGo - fine I thought, no harm done. Have just tried to install a new app (ClearVue Oficce - a proper one from Handango) and all goes fine until it tries to stick the .cab on the SPV and then I briefly see the message that AvantGo has been installed and then the message disappears!!! It seems that whatever it was that the AvantGo installer did has left something screwed up on the SPV. I have looked evrywhere for a file or something but to no avail. Anyone know if there is something I have to edit/delete to resolve this? (Unlocked E100, Orange, number of extra apps but nothing really heavy - have done several soft resets)
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Sounds like you have a failed install problem. To fix this you need to have either Smart Explorer (any file manager will do) or Activsync 3.7 installed on your PC. Very simply you need to explore the phone and go to IPSMWindowAppMgrInstall and delete what you find there. Now you should be able to install software again :)
Guest mkonieczko Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks Awarner - so simple, I'm kicking myself that I could not find it! Now if there was a search that worked with AS explorer.... Really great and fast response :) - thanks to MoDaCo for hosting such a great site.
Guest jrdwilkinson Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 Hi, I have a similar problem but did not find anything in my "AppMgr" folder. Yesterday I tried to install a demo for a superbike game from the orange website. Basically the install got about half way through before I was told that the phone had run out of storage space. I checked the "about" page on the phone and i had 0.0Mb of space left so some files must have been copied. However I then used ActiveSync from my PC to try and find the offending files and couldn't find anything. Nothing is listed in the "remove programs" either. Any ideas how i could try and clean the detritus from my phone? :?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 24, 2003 Report Posted October 24, 2003 What version of Activsync are you using? If it's an older version 3.6 (the one that came with the phone) you cannot view the Install folder. May be an idea to upgrade :) Apart from having a file manager on the phone a more dratic method is to delete the Install folder.
