Hi
I am not able to install Isilo onto my Touch HD, very frustrating. I have tried both using CAB files directly on the phone, and also installing through activesync, but no luck. It gives the usual message on my PC saying the software is installed and to look on the mobile device for more instructions etc. But nothing happens on the Touch HD anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks

I had a similar issue with Mobipocket - this seemed to be related to trying some of the earlier cooked ROMs and disappeared when I updated them. Have you tried one of the later ROMs?
I dont know anything about ROM's, what ROM should i be using?
Just looked on the HTC website and according to that ii have the most up to date ROM

Ok I know this sounds like a typical newbie question but I haven't come across a problem installing cabs before.
A friend has just got a touch dual on orange and can't install any cab files on the device.
I naturally thought he must be doing something wrong as it's the first windows device he's had.
I showed him how to tap on the cab file. Nothing happens. tried again.double tapped.nothing.
I copied the cab to internal memory and still wouldn't install. this was with a cab for a larger keyboard and a game he downloaded.
I know I thought. I will try some cabs from my memory card that I have installed on other pocket pc phones.
I tried smart explorer. nothing happens. The screen flashed briefly then just shows the normal file manager screen.
Is there something different on the touch dual in the way it handles cab files ?
He does have a zip file manager listed in his program manager that I haven't seen before but trying to use this to do something with the cab doesn't do anything either.
I looked at the wiki and did a search under this forum for cab but couldn't find any info.
google search just offers info on how to install cabs which is, as explained not the problem.
The phone just doesn't seem to recognise the cab file and so won't install any.
Help and advice warmly received.
Thanks.

see what you saying. orange do lock their roms but this still allows signed cabs to be installed with a message do you want to install this program ?
I have app unlocked 4 types of spv/htc phones.
I have tried a cab files that is signed for orange handsets.
I get no message asking if I want to install or that it's from an unrecognised source (unsigned).
Usually after any warning message,if any youget given an opton to install to phone storage or memory card. this htc touch isn't even bringing up any kind of dialogue as to what to do with the cab AT ALL. Not even telling me I can't install because of security permissions which is what I would expect if the problem is to do with app locking etc.
As to sda-application unlocker. Is there a link to a version that will definately work with the touch ? Found some older versions searching the forum.

I have suggested this. Will get him to try this and try again with both signed and unsigned cabs.

Greetings all,
I just got my hands on an Xda IIs which was running wm2003 and i just upgraded it to Windows Mobile 6 with no dramas. Everything is working fine except when i try to install the Live.cab from the missing cabs archive, every time i try to install it it just comes and says 'Installation of live.cab was unsuccessful'. I have tried installing just the cab that came with rom and the WL_Install.exe method (That installs through ActiveSync) and i get the error everytime.
I followed the guide in the wiki and this is the only issue i am having with it at the moment. anyone have any clue what may be the cause of the issue or another way to install it? Or even another type of messenger program that connects to msn and such. (Sort of like trillian for the pc but for smart phones?)
I also only did what the guide said, but i have heard mention of installing radio or something like (For voice clarity and such?) is that something i still need to do and have missed or recommended? Any other good recommendations on apps or tweaks i should perform?
Sorry if this is a bit newbieish but this is my first time flashing and upgrading a phone and you gotta start somewhere right?
try the windows live from xplode's thread of WM6.1.. there you can find it bundled with the ROM.. mine works perfectly
PS:i'm using 20226 Xplode's WM6.1
Yep that did the trick. Thanks for that
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've got my replacement handset today....
When trying to install the various tweaks and cabs again, I found that they would all fail when using Opera - saying not the right format, plain unsuccessful or that there were bugs in the downloads. I'd already put the exact-same cabs on my previous handset without difficulty so I knew they were ok! I installed them fine using IE but has anyone got any ideas as to that the problem with Opera is and why I can't download and install cabs etc?
My ROM is 1.43.206.4 and is just the same as the previous handset I owned. Unfortunately the new stock is still the same old ROM :-(
Hi Guys, I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I've just upgraded my HD2 with the new 1.66 ROM released by Vodafone. I'm now re-installing everything I have bought from Windows MarketPlace. However, when I got to the MyApps area and click install, it starts to install really well until it gets to about 80% then just seems to stick there. I have left it for about 30mins and it still doesn't complete. It does seem to have installed but some of the apps don't run properly (File Explorer Pro wont run any CAB file)
Has anyone else had similar experiences or know of any solution
Many thanks for any help
Perhaps you should try installing one app at a time. I've had problems with Marketplace when I've tried to reinstall one or two apps in the past and it may be that it's getting stuck on one particular app.
cheers jakam, that was I was doing my friend....but it seems that it maybe a problem with the File Manager pro and Regedit. Everything else installs OK. Guess I'll have to try and sort it out
Cheers dude
No worries - glad you got it sorted.
If it helps, the app I was having trouble with eventually installed. I just had to keep trying every now and then until it worked
