I've been getting this crazy error msg the last few days sayin
your device is unable to download this type of file..
it shows this error when I open pie and when I try to download anyfile on my mda
Also when I go to Remove Programs there are no files in the list, but when I go to sktools installed programs all my programs show on that list...
I think this was from installing/uninstalling ultimate bet poker.... I would hate to do a hard reset, but is there anyway to fix it without doing the HR???
cant download any files
well it looks like its time to do a hard reset, can't download any files using PIE, I think it was that ultimate bet software...

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?
HELLLLPPPP!!! I have been in and out of my TMobile MDA trying to get flash player to work...I've tried downloading the flashplayer 7 cab file...and it won't dowload...just a bunch of symbols pops up on my pda screen. What to do? :shock: There has got to be SOMEONE out there that can save the day....
I'm gonna assume you're trying to download the cab from your MDA. I had the same problem. Download the cab to your pc and run the file after syncing your phone.
thnx for replying...it did finally dowload to my MDA via ActiveSync...but when I go to certain sites that require flash player (like vh1.com), then it still says that I need to download flashplayer (even though I have it on my phone)....So, i dunno' whats going on !!
double checked what the site actually says....It says "flash PlugIn required"
Give Opera a try. With it, when you open a cab file on the internet you can choose to save a page, and rename it as something.cab.
Now I've tried to load vh1.com in opera on my Wizard and I also got note on missing Flash plugin. When I clicked to get it, I was taken to a OSX (PowerPC) page
Also, installing Pocket Plus adds a new submenu to PIE..Save As..which can help you override the problem you had downloading .cab files from your Wiz.
yeah...i got directed to the same download site....download mac osX :? .....when you find out a way to get all the good stuff playing on your wiz...can u let us know?
Hello my fellow Xperia lovers......and some haters! lol
Simple question....is there a way to remove a program upon a soft reset? I ask this because, i uninstalled the Inhand catolog thing, and when i do a soft reset, it comes up that the program InHandGo.exe could not be found and did not start up....which i don't really care, but i dont want to see that message every time i need to do a soft reset ><. So is there a way to either get rid of that message when soft reset is done, or just some how, fully and cleanly remove that program? I dont really see the point in having it....

The shortcut to InHandGo.exe remains in the startup folder after an uninstall. Just remove this shortcut and you won't get that error message again.
yup just remove that shortcut in \Windows\Startup and you are good to go!
That's also the program I have uninstalled first thing. Useless piece of crap!
How do i get into the \windows\ startup sorry? Im pretty much lost at this point...
EDIT:No wait....sorry....lol i figured it out...
Use the file explorer and go to \my device\windows\startup. It is just so simple!
Interestingly, I'm still experiencing the same behavior after I "uninstalled" that app and yet, when I went and check the Startup directory, there was no entry to In HandUpdater.
The error message I'm getting is "The file 'InHandUpdater' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
What am I doing wrong? Seeing the startup sequence halted because of this makes me want to go back and reinstall the darn thing - just so that I no longer see it.
Please advise. Thanks.
Have you tried installing the application again and then uninstalling. And then you have this program. Cleartemp is the name. It might help with cleaning all stuff left behind.
Same problem here :-(.
There is no shortcut for it in \windows\ startup and the message still comes up whenever I do restart the device!
How to re-install it?
OK, I reinstalled it and the message disappeared ;-)
To install go to "My Device/Program files/Handango Inhand/catalog" and run the file "inhand.cab"
Hello.
I have a problem with the installation of software on my x1.
No matter how I try CAB is always only the message "installation of xxxxx.cab failed"
However, space is enough available.
I have tried to download cab from the web, moved it via USB-cable or downloaded an email-attachment. Fails everytime, same for storage-card or memory.
This issue appears since 2 days, don`t know what has changed
I run the latest official ROM and Radio for WM6.1
thanks
Raggi
it is a bug
on third-fourth try cabs can be installed
I have tried it now 15 times and couldnt install the .cabs
one thing is interesting: If want to copy/paste the cab to a different folder, this error pops up: "Cannot copy, access denied. Please make sure that destination is not write-protected, file is not used and that there is enough memory" (my translation into English)
If I create a new folder and want to rename it later, I get the same error
try to format sd card
issue is solved by doing a hard reset
If you'd given of chance I could have saved you the time of reseting. See this post I just submitted for someone else.
