Help! Cannot install or uninstall a program

This is a bit OT but I'm in a real mess here and hope one of the techies can advise please.
Earlier today I tried to upgrade PocketMind's PocketMusic from 5.3.1 to the latest version 5.3.3 of on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (WM 6.1), as recommended by PocketMind. It failed to install. It got to the stage where it told me the previous version will be uninstalled and asked if I wanted to proceed. I clicked OK as usual and then got 'Installing PocketMind PocketMusic.CAB ...'. But there was no progress in the bar. It stayed empty. On re-starting the Touch Pro 2 the same cycle was repeated.
I then repeated the attempt to install 5.3.3 but this time I got the error message "Copy error ...".
When I then tried to run the old/existing version PM 5.3.1 I got an empty screen.
But now I cannot uninstall PocketMusic, either with Remove Programs on the TP2 or with Add/Remove Programs from AS on the PC.
I also downloaded the individual CAB for version 5.3.1 but that wouldn't open on my PPC.
I've also used Resco Explorer to remove \Program Files\Pocket Music but still can't install or uninstall.
So I'm well and truly stuck. I've emailed PocketMind but meanwhile can any of the experts help please? Is there some program that will safely clear out all traces of PocketMusic (whatever version or versions is currently still hanging around? Would it help to clear my PC registry of all references to PocketMind/PocketMusic/Pmusic? Any other ideas please?

I've had issues like this before. To be honest I think there is little you can do apart from a hard reset (from memory I think that's what I've had to do in the past).
Why don't you take the opportunity to put it down to a bad experience and flash a new rom & start all over from scratch.
Not very helpful, I know...but I believe it's very difficult to remove all traces of a program from the registry as there could be unidentifiable entries all over the place.

Have you tried SKTools? It has a comprehensive install/uninstall tool, even for applications not registered as installed. It gives you the names of all regkeys created and also of files installed ... it may help to clean up your system...
Hope it helps,

HELP Netcf 3.5 Installation failed

Hello,
i have a massive problem with my htc hd2. In order to use bsb tweaks 1.6 and other software i need netcf 3.5. The problem ist, that every time i try to install netcf3.5 wether via .cab or active sync using the pc programm it says "installation failed". When i install BSB Tewaks it installs and says that it can´t run with that version of netcf. Obviuously there seems to be an older version installed which hinders the new one from installing. This problem occurs even after rom update and hard reset. I ran out of idears and am totally despaired.
If someone can help me with that i´d be more than thankfull because i tryied everythin from sk tools cleaning registry after rom installation to taking out the memory card and Sim card and so on..
HELP PLEASE (

you have to use a reg editor to enable the 3.5. HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.
see if this helps

That is for software that was installed on the phone prior to .Net 3.5. It has nothing to do with installing 3.5.
If you can bare it, I'd suggest a hard reset and then try to install it. It should install without issue, as it has for everyone else as I've never seen this problem.
There could be a conflict with something that you've already installed on the phone, but it certainly won't be with an earlier version of .Net. You can (and indeed need to) have different versions of .Net working on the phone.
Let us know how you get on.

I performed a hardreset first via Software "1234" then via buttons (volup/down) but every time i try to install it, it says "Microsoft.NET CE 3.5CAB failed" and thats it....
What can i do ? It actually has worked at a certain point but after some hardresets it just doesnt install anymore (

Have you tried a different download? It may be that the installation you downloaded is corrupted. Also, if you're copying it to your SD card and installing from there, that could be damaged, so try it from the device.
Other than that, I really don't know what to suggest. I take it you've googled the error message you get. What did that give you?

Netcf3.5.9198
When I tried to install NETCF3.5 it told me I had a newer version already installed, so I didn't install it. Later I checked my registry and found that I have version 3.5.9198 installed. Does anyone know if BsB Tweaks will work with this version? (EDIT) Well, I tried BSB Tweaks and it seems to work ok with my version of NETCF3.5.
When I tried pinch to zoom on Opera 10, it worked, but also gave a small popup showing the image of the full screen centered on the lower center part of the screen. When ever you double tap to go back to full screen, the little popup disappears. ????

Problem with .NET CF 3.5 contained in ROM

Hi guys,
recently my HD2 just didn't want to work anymore. Basically it was "on" and plugged via USB to my computer and when I came back by some time, it was completely "off". I tried to activate it but did not succeed to get further then the white screen, whatever I tried.
Result: hard reset.
As I saw that there is an official ROM which was newer than mine I downloaded 1.66er ROM from htc.com.
Everything wet well until I wanted to start Task Fascade. TF tells me: "For this application is a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework required" (translated from german to english)
Okay, easy go, I downloaded the 3.5er version of the .NET framework and tried to install the CAB but the installer complains too:"The .NET Compact Framework-Version you are trying to install is already contained in the ROM" (message has also been translated from german to english)
Now I was confused, obviously the 3.5er version is already installed. So I did some search and found (once more) help on this page: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
13. Install Compact Net Framework 3.5 to Make Old Apps Work Again
Some apps you may have used on another phone will not work on the Leo unless you install Compact Net Framework to your phone. Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. [...] Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.0. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5. Also some apps need the file NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm. Here is the link to download the file: [...] Install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to device after you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and reset.

I did everything I could and double checked the registry entries, rebooted several times but achieved nothing. TF still says the .NET version is too old and the 3.5 installer complains that 3.5 is already installed.
I need some help now

Can't install any progran

Almost any program I installed from this site or others ended up with a messege: "An unexpected error has occurred in [file name]. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information."
I would realy like to know how do I solve this problem.
My phone is running 1.66.405.2 ROM.

First off, can you give us a link to something that you downloaded and you had this problem with?
Secondly, does it install and then not work, or did it not install?
Finally, what does it say when you get the error and click "details"?

your system wont let me send links so here is a list of names of applictions:
-New SimplePiano with Dual-Touch Enabled
-Star Wars Sounds for Windows Mobile
-SRS WOWHD For HD2
-Lock Screen Middle Tweak - this one runs OK.
it happens after installation when I run the program
and the details starts with "[file name].exe platform not supported exception..." and then a list of what looks like paths.
If theres a need I shell copy it all.

Hi,
It could be number of issues....
i) Have you installed sdkcerts.cab (and sdkcerts new .cab)?
ii) Are you installing to your SD card or device?...
- Do you have sufficient space on either
iii) Which version of Windows Mobile are you running?
iv) Have you installed the latest version of .NET?
There could be a long list of relatively small bits and pieces that are preventing you from successfully installing and running these .cabs. I know no one likes to do this, but if I were in your shoes and I was sure that I had installed the above...
I would hard reset and therefore not have to worry about this problem.

I. No I havn't installed sdkcerts.cab. What is it and where do I fined it.
II. I install al of it on my device which now have 19.56 MB free for stoרשעק שמג 165.41MB free for programs.
III. windows mobile 6.5
IV. Same as I.

[Q] Webbrowser security settings error

Hi,
recently I have changed three ROM on my Blackstone (all with wm6.5) and I always had this problem: when I try to use my app (Supergames mobile) and tap on one game I see two alert with the same message:
"Some content cannot be displayed due to the Pocket PC security settings."
and no game will be open.
I tried to remove code related to flash and javascript from my app and no alert wil be show (obviously no game start) so I think that there will be a security settings that blocks flash and javascript on CF.net webbrowser control.
Can you help me to find and modify that security settings?
Thank you!
PS: I have developed my app on HTC Blackstone (with WM6.1 original ROM) and tested it on some other device and emulator (WM6.1 and WM6.5) with no problem (until now...).

perhaps this helps you

Thank you malatest for your answer but I have the same messages also after install your Cab (I've also tried a soft reset after installation)
I have made some test with my app to localize where is the problem and I think that the problem is related to .NET Compact Framework within the ROMs I have flashed on my Blackstone.
The CF version installed on these ROMs (v3.5.9198.0) is the same I have used for develop my app and test on my device and emulator (WM6.1 and WM6.5) but if I try a simple app with only one method call such, for example, "webbrowser.navigate" it don't fires (while obviously it fires on emulator and other ROM with CF installed out of ROM).
I tried to reinstall without success because I get the message that the version is already installed so as I have not found information on how remove CF cooked within a ROM, I have made a new version of my app for CF 2.0 sp2 (v2.0.7045.0) and with NetCFCfg I have imposed the application to start with it: security messages no longer occur!
At this point someone has any idea what could be the problem with cooked Compact Framework? (or how to reinstall them?)
