Pockettv - invalid setup file wont let me install!

[Guest Krosfyah1]

Guys, when i click on the Pockettv installer i get the message "Application Manager cannot install this application on your mobile device due to an invalid set up file. Reinstall and try again"

Anyone got any ideas what on earth it's referring to?

Thanks

thanks for the response and yes, i dl'ed it 4 times last night, twice from Handango, twice from smartphones.net (i think thats the site, anyway its the link you get from coolsmartphones.com)

Same message every time. This is really frustrating - anyone got any ideas?

Just checking and may sound daft but how are you trying to install the

app? As the Pocket TV sould be installed via your PC and not the phone.

thanks for getting back. The phone is connected to the PC via USB, and Activesync'd, which i think is what i need to do. I click the PocketTV installer, set up comes up, but then i keep getting that message.

Have you had problems instaling any other app? just wondering if Activsync is playing up.

Something else to try is to reboot the PC and the phone before trying

the install again.

nah no problems although this was a first install on my home PC last night, and i usually have the phone docked on the PC at work - could that be why?

Activesync seemed to be working fine - although i was signed in only at Guest level, not Standard. Could that be a factor?

Yep I'm pretty sure that's your problem as Guest just gives you

some basic functions.

i had the same problem, and i read somewhere that i had to have the phone plugged into usb (or not plugged in? cant remember) when installing activsync. So i downloaded the latest 1.7 activsync, made sure the phone was plugged in (or out?) and everything worked fine!

Alternatively, sometimes if an install fails from the PC, u can find the CAB files inside the activsync diretory on the PC. Not all programs do this though.

Hope that helps!
