I just got my 8525, updated to the latest ROM, loaded all my software and configured it almost complete. I must have deleted something, but I can't think of what. I'm not a newbie, I've had my 6700 for 2 years and flashed ROMS and the like.
Anyway, any atempt to install a .cab results in a failure. It doesn't even ask where to install to, just says "...unsuccessfull". If I look at the "Remove Programs", there is nothing listed.
Like I said, I must have done something, but don't know what. Everything was working fine...maybe I tweeked something in the registry?

May need more detail here.
I assume you are opening the unextracted .cab file on the device.
Is the .cab a suitable one i.e. for the ARM processor?
Is there sufficient Main memory available for the installation?
Have you tried re-installing a previous .cab file that worked? If a previous one installs as before then it suggest a .cab of the wrong type or it's corrupted.
Welcome on board
Cheers
Mike
No .cab I try works, including ones I have installed successfully before. I am positive that the lack of entries in the "Remove Programs" is related. Everything else seems to be working fine. I haven't done a hard reset yet, and hope to avoid doing it. I'll wait a little while and see if anyone here can help me out before resetting.

Not good, I see there are quite a few instances of similar occurances being reported (disappearing programmes) and one very similar to your situation. However I could not find one where somebody posted a solution.
So other than the usual things:
Turn off
remove and re-insert battery (perhaps waiting ten minutes before replacing)
remove and re-insert SD card
then it's looking like a hard reset
Unless anyone else has a solution.

I cannot install GPRS Monitor from myO2 CD, it says i need to update my ROM, i did a corporate install btw
Anyone else had any probs?
Another forum member had this same problem when installing the ClearVuePDF Reader also supplied by o2 as part of the HTC application suite. He has the MDA, but flashed with the o2 Exec ROMs and then installed in Corporate mode.
From work we did together, it appears to be just the install program that was not validating his device. When I tried a hard-reset and Corporate mode install, I had no problems installing. However, its beginning to look as though a hard-reset does not totally clear the Exec's memory. In his case, I found all the individual files and registry settings needed for ClearVuePDF to run and he copied those to the device. Runs perfectly for him like that.
So I'm afraid you'll have to find somebody with the o2 version of GPSMonitor installed and get them to determine all the files/locations and registry-settings needed to get it to run. Unfortunately I don't have a GPRS connection or GPRSMonitor installed.
Just a thought. Have you yet tried a full o2 Personal mode install on your device? It just might be this action that puts 'something' in memory that is not cleared by a hard-reset, and that 'something' might be what the install program is looking for.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.
No problem thanks for your help

I did a basic install and I get the same error. Sorry, Not much help though.
Daz
Me too. The ClearVuew PDF reader is rubbish! Text misalighed all over - Adobe with pixel doubling is better than this.
Please try this
Could one of you having a problem to install the o2 supplied GPRSMonitor, please try installing the attached .CAB after copying it to your device.
This CAB is extracted from the CD-ROM install program, so hopefully skips the validation stuff. With luck you might be able to get around the failed validation by installing from this CAB.
Note: Even if asked to install to Storage Card, the o2 supplied version (2.3.0 build 600) puts very little there, most goes into device memory. The current version 2.41 from spb will obey the instruction to install to SD-Card, but wasn't reliable when run from there - the monitoring part aborted four times in 10-minutes whilst I was playing with it.
Unfortunately, since I don't have the install problem, I can't test this install out.
It works a treat. Thanks muchly!

Am I glad about that - I was in the midst of trying to locate all the files/registry entries needed for a manual install.
Perhaps I can go to bed now! :wink:
I also managed to 'locate' another copy and it works fine, thanks for all the help.

I can confirm this but with other files. After several hard resets (even with the clear storage icon), the pictures I had taken were still there.

Ouch! I didn't realsie it was as bad as that.
The situation is made worse by the backup program I'm using (Sunnysoft Backup Manager) not backing up all the data and settings. Neither does it perform a true restore - just merges the backup with what's there after the hard-reset.
Unfortunately, I'm used to HP's backup applet from the Jornada 928; which performed a total backup/flush restore. Are there any other applets for WM5/universal that really performs a full backup/restore?
Does anyone have this cab please? I have just bought a new O2 exec and am having the same problem with it saying my ROM version is too old!!
sorry ignore that post! Work computer blocked the file out
I am running my XDA EXEC in basic mode. When I tried copying the .cab file to my device and running it from there , still get the problem.
Any suggestions ?
I was running personal mode then switched to basic mode, could this cause the problem.
Thanks for you replies in advance.
Cannot remove GPRS monotr app
I installed this file to test it out om M3000. Unfortuntely I cannot seem to uninstall it now! It doesnt show up in my Program list - How do you uninstall it?
I looked in the \\windows folder and removed all files and shoretcuts I could find, but its still showing up on my 'today' screen with an error.
Any ideas? The registry?
Cheers

Linuxgeek:
I was also getting the ROM version problem installing programs to my SD card on my O2 exec. Since I'd only just added the card and was running the basic installation, I did the following:
1) Hard reset
2) Personal Install
3) Re-install ActiveSync on PC
This did the trick. Thankfully I like the Personal install best anyway, but I don't know if that step was necessary.
Tried it. Still get the problem :-(
My mistake - I managed to install the Clearvue PDF program, not the GPRS monitor program. I'm still getting the ROM version error with the GPRS monitor program, but I've not tried the above download yet.
Anyone got any other ideas to fix this problem.
Shame O2 don't have an update to fix this problem on their website.
I've now tried the CAB posted above by astage and I can confirm it worked for me. Just copy the CAB to your device and then open it to start the install.
I've read the wiki and tried so many times to install *.cab files to my Hermes. But everytime i click on it it just show me xml source codes. Can anyone give me some advice? thanks alot.
my hermes spec:
ROM LSVW WM6 16/6
Radio 1.43.00
*sorry* didn't know i can't unzip it before put into the PDA. now it works.
I had similar problem, but mine included none of the installed apps showing up in "Remove Programs". I'd check to see if you have the same situatuion. Sadly, I don't know the cause and had to do a hard reset. I believe that it might have been caused by doing a restore of a backup, dunno.

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation
i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status
mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????
i tried both , but i couldnt
You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.
Did you flashed your ROM recently?
it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same
i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.
yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you
Rod
i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.
I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.
thanx alot
you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device
Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?
same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.
Hi,
I've been trying to install gyrator and got this message so tested several other CABs and now seem to be getting this message on trying to install any CAB - really frustrating
Any ideas what might be causing this?
My Blackstone configuation is all pretty standard with original ROM etc
Any suggestions welcomed!
try reinstalling the cab again, it should say that it will remove previous installed version and will reinstall, BUT it wont proceed with the installation. Now after this, go back to the remove programs section and check if its still there.
Wondering if you found the issue, as i have this happening over 4 or 5 different ROM's, ruled out that its a ROM issue, trying to narrow it down to a 3rd party app, unsucessful so far.
When trying to install ANY cab i get the 'unsucessful installation' error message - including cabs i've already installed. Flash my phone this morning, install apps i wanted to, went to install something else this evening, now getting this message.
I've got Sktools installed and i am able to install cabs via this.
Got that problem too on Xperia X1, can't figure out either what the cause might be. Anyone any ideas?
Found my cause - it was installing Twikini

so you can't install apps after installing twikini?
I'm getting the "uninstall unsuccessfu" for almost anything i try to install and do have twikini installed (but i can't remember if it was the last app i've installed).
Also i can't open attachments in my emails, can't download files from PIE and when i go to remove programs (start-settings-system-remove programs) the list is empty...
DId you have to hard reset or did u find away around this?
btw, i'm having these issues on my kaiser.
Finally I found what my problem was, even if I can't understand, why this is a problem.
From time to time, e.g. when I got no USB cable around, I used to send the .cab vie E-Mail to have them on my device. Well, and as a matter of fact, exactly those are the ones, where installation fails.
Copying exactly the same file via USB to storage card ends in everything working fine....
So i flashed a new rom and installed twikini first, everything was ok for a couple of days. But all of a sudden this problem is back.
I know its not the .cab files because they're the same cabs i'm trying to install that i install on almost every rom after i flash them.
I'm thinking its yahoo go.
I am still having problems installing most cabs. Only a few are working for some reason? I have searched and searched and can't find any help. Is there an app unlock that will work on my Tmobile HD2? I saw one for the Tilt2 but not sure if it would work on mine. I could use some help this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Are you trying to unlock DEMO's? Kindly explain more what does this app do as i am curious what it is? If you are, this forum does not allow it.
I know that some cabs. require a soft reset after installing but my problem is most cabs won't install. The download fine but then say uninstallable. They are good clean cabs like BsB Tweaks and several others from here, also I tried from sites like pocketpc.net and still they won't install. A very few do and one I tried was sdkcerts hoping that maybe I'd get lucky but it didn't help. I'm not trying to install any trials or anything. I don't know what else to do, I have searched and searched and haven't found anything that works yet. I'm not that proficient that I feel comfortable flashing anything yet. I love the phone but not being able to install most things sucks. Tweaking the phone is one of my favorite things, I'll work up to flashing later hopefully. If anyone can help I could sure use it.
@N1M1TZ: I can vouch that amstaff's intentions are legit, we've just been unable to get most any cabs to install for him so far.
@amstaff: I'm honestly believing that with everything else we've tried, it's proabably time to try a hard-reset...I haven't turned up anything else that could address your problem (no app unlock, etc). It's actually a very simple procedure, and has often cleared up odd issues that defy every other attempt. The only downside is that it resets any tweaks etc that you've done since starting, but if you're having trouble installing everything anyway, I'm guessing you haven't been able to make too many changes. You'll just want to back up your contacts (easy), and see if this forces your phone to behave. We'll be happy to help you through the process if you want.
Does your uSD card have a write lock switch? Not sure if the card that came from Tmous had one or not. I am using a C6 card which doesn't happen to have one. Anyway, another thing to check as this can disallow write access to the SD card.
Another thing to try is copying the cab file to internal memory, turning off the phone, removing the SD card then trying to install in internal memory without the SD card in the phone. You can always uninstall it if you wanted it on the card but this should rule out some problems.
Sirphinkee-I went ahead and tried a hard reset, you're right it didn't really matter since I have only been able to install a few things. It still has the same problem.
Decim8-I looked at my card and there is no lock on it. I don't think that would be the problem anyway since it does install a few cabs. That's what I don't understand I can't figure out why it will a couple but so many others it won't? I know the cabs. are legit cabs. and they are from reliable sources and people. It's better than 90% of the cabs. I'd like to install keep saying uninstallable. I tried your suggestion of installing to the phone directly without having the sd card in and still they won't install. Downloading them to card or to hard drive is no problem only the installation.
Has anyone heard of an App Unlock cab. for the T-mobile HD2? I just don't know what else to do, I don't want to flash as I don't know that much yet and I saved for quite a while to get this phone and a HD2 brick would be terrible.
Thanks for the ideas so far guys-

There is no "app unlock" cab. It make no sense that some cabs install and some don't. Are you making sure that they are cabs and not zip files? And you are leaving the cab files together... not un-zipping the cabs? (cab files will look like a rar or zip file on your pc.) All the files you are using are single files ending in .cab, right? And you are copying them over to your device, then launching them from your device?

They aren't zipped. I had a Fuze before this phone and never had a problem like this one. I'm doing the same thing with this HD2 as I did with it. I download to the sdcard, then try to install. I've downloaded to card and tried to install to card, I've downloaded to card and tried to install to device, I've downloaded to device and tried to install to device it's always the same thing.
Amstaff, did you get my PM?
Java Unlock for HD2
I get certificate messages when trying to install unsigned Java apps. Particularly mTorrent. cant be authorized because c=us;o=verisign, inc;ou=class 3 public primary certification is disabled.
Possible solution
The same happened to me when I first got the phone. I found a solution in this. First back up all your data from the SD Card. This is really important as yo will loose everything that's on the card. After, Format the SD Card to Fat 32.
Now import all the cabs to the SD Card and install them.
If for some reason you still cant get the to run try this cab. They are certificates that help overcome the security locks.
I have the same issue. Tried downloading/test a couple of different adroid builds and after a restart found the file "is not singed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found."
Cab install - solved
Had issues with this previously. Had to do a hard reset with the power + up/down volume buttons at startup.
This corrected the issues with cabs being locked out.
