Error: remove programs..." x was not completely removed

I tried to install ClearVue PDF from the O2 supplied CD and it failed (with error messages in German!) - however when I tried to 'remove programs' I get the above message and ClearVue is still listed under programs. Ditto with Skype. These are the only 2 things I have added since switching my XDa mini s on for the first time. How should I uninstall these properly....so I can start again! Thanks

Well if you want to install it. Try installing it again. Then if fails again download the latest version of it from their website and install that. Hopefully you will have the registration key installed and it will work. Otherwise you will at least have an English error message.

Thanks
I'll try the web site - looks like I can't just download ClearVue - does it all come witin the 'software update' bundle?

No no no! ;-) The Clearvue website http://www.westtek.com/pocketpc/pdf/ As long as the install you have made registered it the trial version will be installed as fully operational.

Thanks
I'll have a go...

Sometimes a program wont delete because its running. make sure you have nothing running before removing it

Is this not an issue with the persistent memory in the Wizard? I've never been able to uninstall things, always comes up with that error, but installing an AKU 2.3 ROM seems to have solved the problem.

I think it's a persistent issue - I've tried every way of uninstalling (from Xda and PC via ActiceSync etc) and ClearVue is still there (and not working). However last comment slightly too techy for me (sorry - just a user....)? Is this an OS upgrade....?

The ROM is an OS upgrade, read all about it here:

Whether the newer ROM solves the problem, someone better informed than me will have to tell you. It may just be coincidence that I can now uninstall programs properly??

Problem with MSN

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

CAB "Installation Unsuccessful"

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.

Can't install Isilo on HD

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

Can't install some software - Please help me *SOLVED*

I didn't experience such a behavior on any of my HTC devices before... It is driving me nuts!
I flashed three Custom ROMs till now (Anjas back to the root 05.01., Artemis GER 13.01., HD2O 1.4) - same effect!
While installing some (not all!) programs I get an error (installation failed) and this error comes before you have to select the destination.
I'm not able to install
- MaxManila 2.7/2.8
- Artemis_TaskBar_Bat_Green_Icons
- BsB Tweaks 1.6 (whether cooked in or not)
- Digicast Solutions' Shopping Cart v 5.2
- Opera Mobile 10 beta
But I'm able to install
- HTC Network Plugin
- MorphGear 2.4
- TourchButton v 2.2
- White_FInixNOverBattery
Does anyone have a similar problem or does anyone know how to solve it? It is really really annoying

And: Of course I have made already several Hardresets...

Try an official ROM.

i just installed official HTC GER 1.48... same issue...
i don't know what else to do...

as you have the problem on all the roms it might be that the cabs of the programs you are trying to install are corrupted.
i've had that once and had to format the memory card.
empty memory card, format and replace all the programs that did not install with a new download or copy from your pc
that solved it for me then.

YOU ARE MY HERO!!!
As I read your post I realized that i've downloaded all those files with Opera Mobile. And all these files are corrupted...
I'm such a fool!
THANK YOU MATE!

I have the same problem. Cabs downloaded with Opera are corrupted, cabs downloaded with IE are fine. So there must be a problem with Opera Mobile.
