tried to install resco audio recorder...
it had asked me to put PITools.dll into the windows directory.
I uninstalled the program now there is an erorr message EVERY time i reload.. saying how it cannot find the file or so..
I even tried to replace the file however windows seems to be looking for it still?
is there anything any1 can think of to help get rid of this error msg.
I tried looking in registry edit ( for the dll... but there is no reference to it)
I'm a complete newbie to this!
many thanks!
My first guess is something in your StartUp folder is still there and trying to run.
How did you uninstall it? This frequently happens if you uninstall it manually. You could always try reinstalling and uninstalling using the Remove Programs applet.
You say it told you to put that dll in the Windows directory...what told you? Were there written instructions that told you to do that manually?
And lastly, what is the "file or so..." message....specifically.

I have had many pocket PC's and the Universal w/WM5 is the only one that gives me consistant installation problems. I had listpro 3.0 installed in program memory. I uninstalled it with the intent of re-installing it on the SD card. Unchecking it from activesync did nothing. Removing from the ppc directly told me that all of the file were not removed. I saw the the folder still existed in program files, do I deleted the directory and shortcuts pointing to it. I have had this exact same problem MANY times
Am I the only one with this problem? I don't find any messages like this.
Next, I try to reinstall listpro and it won't reinstall :x I get a message cannot be installed, try another location (which does not work). Do I need a hard reset? I tryed installing another program and I can still install other stuff, but the removal did not work again.

Hi Gary!
I have a lot of experience in this sh*t. WM5 cannot uninstall or install in a lot of cases. Usually if you still have some files or folders which are on the same location than with the installation, installer says: cannot install. In that case you have to delete (or rename) the folder left, and then you can install it. In other cases installer stays in a loop install condition, and cannot continue. In that case try to install another application to finish somelooped order. I realised another thing, which is very interesting: when you want to uninstall a program, and your pda says it cannot be removed - or something -, if I run Vijay555 killphone application in 98% of the cases after it I can uninstall the same.
I hope this wil help!
Hi,
Perhaps I have been lucky but I havent had any issues with regards to installing or uninstalling programs.
I do make sure that I soft reset before and after - so maybe thats a golden rule!
Matt
Yes, softreset would be a good tip in more cases, but it wouldn't solve the problem when you want to install a program which needs a place what exists.
I did find some files in the windows directory and deleted them. That WORKED. Just doing program files is not enough. In this case, the file name was the same as the program. I don't expect to be that lucky all the time.
I have done soft-resets when it does not work. I do a number of trial programs and tend to forget prior to removal. What a apin
Got to love Microsoft - reboot is the answer to everything.
Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?
Can someone help ? I tried Interkey but was not able to make it run with WM2005 on my Universal, uninstalled it but partially. Now I get a notification error each time I open my XDA Exec with this msg: "Cannot execute \Windows\IKAgent.exe". How can I remove it ?
Thank you,

Has anyone ever figured this out? The link above directs you to the interlink website. That doesn't tell you how to delete this horrible and annoying popup. I have lived with this for 2 years and can't stand it anymore. I have deleted all the paragon software I can find. I've deleted everything Interkey. I have searched the registry and deleted for interkey or anything remotely similar. The only thing I can think of as to why this popup keeps coming up is that Paragon over wrote the normal Keyboard file so I need to restore that file. Any clues???
Have you had a look in \Windows\Startup\ folder?
If not look in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher
Removing InterKey 3.0
1. Go to Start>Settings>System>Remove programs.
2. Select Paragon Software InterKeyPPC and tap Remove.
3. Tap Yes to confirm removal. Wait until the system completes uninstalling InterKey 3.0 and a reboot prompt appears. Tap OK to reboot.
Worked fine for me
Every time I turn my T-Mobile MDA on I get Notification Errors for executables I have deleted or moved (SmartsKey). I've searched through the windows directory but can not find a reference to the two files. Does anyone know how to stop the MDA from trying to run these deleted/moved files? I've done a search and the only thread I found the person ended up hard reseting to stop it.
Use check notificationa and find the smartkey notification and delete it. This has happened because you did not follow the instructions with smartkey on how to remove it. You could reinstall it and remove it as per instructions - i think its in the pdf that came with the installation.
Dude,
Thanks for that program!!! Now my MDA is exactly the way I want it. BTW with the Custom 2.24 ROM this this rocks.
I just got 2 notification error on my 8125 after a softreset. One was on the omapclock.lnk and one on pocketmusic. Also I have about 200 events listed when I run the check notifications. Are there usually so many or should I delete them? Please inform me on this.

ok so i installed opera mobile on my device, and i tried to uninstal it so i could reinstal it on my new sd card. the program is in my add/remove list when i sync up however it will not remove. the files are non existant on the phone, im assuming that perhaps its registry entries that need to be updated buti have no clue what needs to be changed. does anyone have any idea on how i can reinstall this program?
any help is appreciated, thank you
I am guessing that you mean that you can not get rid of it off a-sync? Please can you say what you have tried then we know how to help. cus you should be able to just delete it off a-sync by putting a tick next to the item and pressing remove or delete (whatever it is!!)
so far ive tried to removie it through the phones add/remove software but it doesnt show in that list, it says there is nothing in storage (which is correct because there is nothing on my phone with opera any longer). i removed opera from my pc through the add/remove programs, and lastly i have tried to remove it from sync, but what happens is i check off opera and click remove and then im prompted "are you sure" and when i click yes the window closes and as far as i can tell nothing happens. when i open up add/remove from the sync again opera is still there. when i try to reinstall it over it, i get a prompt saying there is allready a version installed do you want to reinstall/upgrade, i click yes, but get an error on my phone saying the cab was installed unsucessfully.... -=/
Sorry if there is an answer somewhere already, but I have been looking around for 20 minutes and I'm giving up and posting a thread. I have like five programs that won't uninstall when I go into the settings-->remove programs application. It comes up with a message that says "XXXX was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
Has anybody had this also? How do I get it completely off my phone/get the memory back?
One more thing, I have a program called "AA AA" and I know for sure that I didn't install a cab with that name, so what the hell is it? I'm a noob with WinMo so sorry if it's simple **** haha.
Thanks in advance

For programs that say they didn't uninstall completely, the method I use to get them out is this:
1) run the cab again, the same one you used to install a/the app in the first place
2) when it gives you option or error dialogs, just click "ok" or "yes" to all of them, to allow it to go through what looks like another complete install process (yes, it's odd, but this is how to do it).
3) when it's done, soft-reset, and then you should find that there's no more trace of the app in your uninstall list.
Don't ask me how/why that works, but I've used it in many instances for just that reason, and it's worked every time I tried it.
As for that "AA AA" app, I've certainly never seen a cab that used that name (fyi, the name in the uninstall list doesn't necessarily match the name of the cab file...only if the person creating it set it up that way). So...I'd just say uninstall it, and see if any apps/links are missing then.
This thread is closest to my problem,so I'm asking here.
I cant uninstall ANY of my programs, I have tried the usual method from the remove programs section in Settings. I get same error as OP.
When that failed I then try to just delete the program folder from program files, using file explorer, but get an error saying 'Access is denied. Be certain the folder isn't in use and not write protected'
At first I thought I had a memory card problem, but its the same regardless of where the program is installed.
I also tried to re-install the programs from their cab files as described above, but get an 'unsuccessful' message.
I cant rename any files anywhere on my device either.
I know a little about write protection, but cant figure out what my problem is or how to fix it.
I hope I explained properly for someone to help.
Thanks.
It looks like that the installer process "wceload.exe" was not correctly quit and is still in the memory. Terminate the process wceload.exe with a task manager and try again.
Thanks ElectronX.
I did a search on my HD2 for the file you mentioned and couldn't find it. I have Duttys task manager installed and after a soft reset, the problem still remains. The task manager is empty of processes when I start the device.
Im sorry that Im a bit clueless to how to achieve what you suggest.
I have discovered that the problem extends beyond removing and installing programs. I cant do anything in file explorer other than open documents. If I want to move, delete, rename any file on the device I get the 'write protected' error message. I cant do it via active sync either..I connected to the computer and could browse my device, but if I tried deleting, moving or renaming, the message said it didn't have permission to do it.
Last resort is a hard reset, but hopefully someone will be able to help.
Use sktools to uninstall when windows fails. Best program ever...
Good luck
Thanks, but I cant install anything on my device...can sktools be run from my computer to fix the device?
Unfortunately not...
Good luck though..
