I own an spv M3000 from Orange France and having trouble when I try to uninstall the application designed for WM5.
Trying to uninstall: "Unable to remove the software, do you want to remove it from the list ?" (or something like that).
Answering Yes, the software disapear from the list but the application files are not deleted on the SPV.
Do you have an idea why and how to bypass this strange thing ?
Thansk in advance.
Yes I have the same issue and still haven't find a solution...
I read that someone have bypassed this problem. He didn't accept to remove the program from the list, power off his device and uninstall again the software : it seems to work for him...
Try it maybe it could work for you :?:
Here is the thread I was talking about : http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=780277
Try SK Tools, I was testing it with author for WM5 and it seems now better.
Removed everything what missed before.
Hello,
my T-Mobile MDA Pro has lost the list of installed programs, so i cannot uninstall programs and the installation of new programs also fails. All other things runs fine...
Any idea how to fix this? Where is this information stored? I don´t want to do a hardreset if it isn´t really necessary...
Thanks and gretings from Austria,
Chris
Hi,
I recently installed 'Kick off slot machine' game on my XDA mini s and when i go to 'remove programs' it wont remove it. I've tried soft reseting.
How can i get rid of it?
Can i just go into file explorer and delete the files in its program folder?
yes but u would be better off removing the reg entries aswell allthough it wont cause harm.
tried removing using active sync , add remove programs , as sometimes that works for me where the one on the device does not work.
I have found that quite often uninstalls just don't work. For example, before I resorted to a recent hard reset, I had only a few megs of RAM available. Turns out it was because although it "appeared" that such things had been uninstalled, they had in fact not been uninstalled.
The way I do it now, and I reckon this is the only way to do it, is to go to Add/Remove programs in Activesync and uncheck the box of the app/game to be removed. This seems to work (even on apps installed by CAB or on other machines).

Ok thanks.
By the way, how do you find and delete reg entries? Which folder are they stored in?
Use SK Tools, it is the best soft for cleaning and everything
-www.s-k-tools.com
You'll need something like PHM Regedit, or I use Total Commander. I'm no expert but you'll be able to get help with registry keys etc here.
Alternatively, purchase MemMaid which (I think) removes redundant registry entries.
Oh ok, thanks very much.
Just one more quick question, if you install something, remove it, then decide you want it installed again does it just overwrite the previously created reg entries?
does it just overwrite the previously created reg entries

I was using this amazing application but after it's installation i was unable to uninstall any program from "Add/Remove Programs". Not even S-K Tools. The only solution was a hard reset. Do you have anything on mind for this issue?
P.S: The version i was using: 2.2.10
Yes, developer knows about this, he said, new version fixed.
I have ver.2.3.15.6 and tested, good things, Backup is working in WM5.

Hi, was wondering does it backup contacts and have you tried restoring after hard reset?
Yes, I did. The only one problem, SK Tools made funny records about
installed software, so in the list, You have only what was installed after
You installed SK Tools. I think it was already fixed, but didn't test it.
thanks fresh123breeze,
think i'll go for it. its not a lot to pay for what it claims it can do.
Hello
Yesterday i tried to remove a program on my Qtek9000. But in the add/remove program, where
all installed programs are listed, was nothing! It was empty!
Then I tried to connect to the Computer but without success! An error Message appeared, "Can't
synchronize, please reconnect an try again!"
I can't even install a new program!
Please help me!

Turn OFF your firewalls then connect your Universal via USB again.
hmm, Doesn't work.
Any other ideas?
I am having similar problems. I have a list of installed programs in the uninstall list. However, whenever I install new softwares, they are not shown in the uninstall list, thus I cannot uninstall any new softwares. Anyone knows what happens?

...your not using phoneAlarm are you?
This is a documented issue with a previous version and is fixed in the latest release.
Matt
Yes PhoneAlarm is an issue and does prevent installed programs to show up in the list of installed programs. If you cannot live without PhoneAlarm (Like Myself) then you have two options:
You can install SKTools. The uninstallation utility in SKTools will still show the list of installed programs even if it is not shown in the generic Windows utility.
The other option involves changing the registry. You will need a registry editor like Resco. The procedure is as follows:
1) go to..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall\
2) Select the application directory that is not showing up in the list
3) change the DWORD Role data from 40 to 24
4) Now the application will show up in the list.
Hope this works for you
Regards
srmz you are great !!!! It works and I can uninstall programs now.
I have never installed PhoneAlarm, and I forget starting from when this problem appears.
Also thanks matt1971 for rasing the possible reason leading to the problem. You guys are great !!
I now have the same problem - I can't install programs (get a message saying installation was unsuccseful), and when I try to remove programs there are none at all in the list.
All I've done today is install sbp Weather.
All programs work fine, but I also can't change Today Theme - it seems to be stuck on default.
Anyone able to help?
Cheers
Rowan
yes I have the exact same issue...this post is about not being able to sync, install, or uninstall anything....while srmz's post was informational, it didn't help those of us who has this problem...
please can anyone help? I really don't want to have to hard-reset my phone
Thanks
Anthony

Hard Reset.....
any other idea ...that will work
Have you installed sdkcert?
Ok, I had this problem last week and I'm happy to say I fixed it. The problem in my case seemed to be related to the number of applications installed. Problem is that you can't uninstall either!
So what you need to do is change the registry. In HKLM\Security\AppInstall you can see all the installed apps. Copy some of the "folders" out of here into the root of security. then check remove programs. you should find that it works now. I had about 80 apps installed. I just uninstalled apps I didn't need then.
Good luck, send me a message if you need help.
Don't just hard reset straight away. It doesn't hurt to play with the phone if the last resort is to hard reset.
I have the same problem. Might be Twikini...
How do a newbie like me get to HKLM\Security\AppInstall...?
