Guest annet Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 I mistakenly tried to install a programme for pocket pc on my smartphone a few weeks ago ( I had two versions in the same folder and didn't see that it was for pocket pc) and since then I have a problem when installing anything. Whenenever I install, and have to check the phone for the next step, the name of the pocket pc programme quickly flashes accross the screen and then it returns to homescreen. Usually I look around in "C:/program files/name of the programme" and will ususally find a cab there that I copy to the phone and run, and that always installs the programme, but it is annoying that I have to take these extra steps. Is there anyone who knows how I can remedy this? I have a registry editor, so if it's something i have to change in there that's no problem. I hope a solution can be found without doing a complete hard reset!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 31, 2003 Report Posted October 31, 2003 What you have is a failed install, you can sort this out but you need to have a file manager app on the phone ie Smart Explorer or depending on your OS the newer version of Activsync. What you need to do is explorer on the phone and go to IPSMWindowsAppMgrInstall and delete what you find there. Once you have done that you can now install apps again :)
