When ever I load a program onto my SD card it does not show up in the list on the remove programs application.
How do you mean 'load'? When I install to SD, they are all there.
If I install a program onto the SD card using a CAB or windows installer the program doesn't apear in the remove programs list. It used to and there are programs in the list that are installed on the storage card but has stopped updating the list. Any ideas why.

I have always used the main storage for loading programs/applications, but recently I have been adding more applications as I become more affluent with using my PPC Phone.
I did load the Scary Bear Check Notifications in the Extended ROM, but the device won't let me load any other programs there, so I suppose I'm out of room.
I have read that I can store programs on the storage card. I have tried this a while ago and my device either would not let me or when the program was loaded there I could not run it.
How do you successfully install programs on the SD storage card? Is there a limit to application type or other factors that will only allow some programs to work there? Can I copy and paste programs to my storage card that are already installed?
Any tips on storage card application use would be appreciated.
I have dove deeper into this issue, and I see where I was having some difficulty. I'm now able to install programs to the storage card. Some programs, however, still do not want to be installed there. I have not tried moving programs, but felt it was safer to delete on the main memory and then install on the card.
Do products like Pocket Mechanic provide better or mor complete use of storage cards?
I am trying to install pocket radiologist on my trinity. This program is quite a memory hungry program so am trying to install it onto my 2GB storage card which also has a heap of music on it (but still 500MB free).
When i go to install it it gives me the option to save it onto the storage card but when i select it it installs it into the storage memory on the trinity and not the storage card!
I cant remember if i used some kind of tweak to do this but would love to save the program to my storage card so i can also do it for GPS when i get it......
What am i doing wrong? Is there a setting somewhere which will enable this? i cant seem to find it anywhere.
thanks
Scott
anyone? help please?
someone must have some idea.....
The problem is the installer, it must be hard-coded to use the internal memory instead of the external card, it shouldn't offer the option to install on the card.
You can edit the cab file to remove the hard-coded paths using a trial of WinCE Cab Manager, but if they are hard-coded.. there could be a reason for that, anyways, you can try to do that.
have you tried installing the application on the miniSD card from a card reader, rather than Trinity?
Often if a program installs itself to the internal memory, you can safely find the directory on your phone and move it to the miniSD and just make a new shortcut to your start menu. An example is TomTom, you can copy the directory "Navigator" from the phone Program Files directory to the /Program Files directory on the miniSD and TomTom works perfectly...at least on my device.
I have a strange problem. When I click the the Google maps cab & the device prompts whether to load in Device or Storage Card, I choose storage card but it still installs onto the device memory.
I uninstalled & reinstalled but it still won't install onto sd card.
I tried other programs & they install onto the sd card without problems.
Any ideas?
I've had the same problem.
It doesnt give the option of installing to anywhere and after it's downloaded some 'cashe' it takes up near 1MB!!
Is it worth it??
I might just stick to Livesearch.
Hello community,
Have anyone experienced problems installing the TomTom Navigator 6 to the mini SD card?
The option to install the application to internal memory or storage card is shown when installing via usb but then fails to install on the storage card.
There are already installed applications on the mini SD card and additional free space.
The application installs on the internal memory without problems but no free space (this was confirmed by removing applications from the internal memory).
Update: I've installed the application on the internal memory and move the folder and its contents manually to the storage card. I launch the app directly from the card and it worked. However, I haven’t yet tested it for a signal or synchronization with TomTom home, but the app starts. Updated the program shortcut link to point to the new directory and deleted the old (internal memory).
I had a look at the setup xml before stored in the .cab file and found that it explicitly installs to the internal memory. There weren't any use of variables for choice for the installation directory.
Did the developers intentionally leave that out? Or was it an oversight?
What version of TomTom are you talking about? My version (TomTom 6) installs fine onto the memory card. I am installing it from a cab file on the memory card.
Ok after I did a hard reset , I was redownloading apps and stuff , but I noticied that the programmes I've installed on my sd cards were still there and I can use them. But only when i open file explorer and open them from there , and they don't show up on my start menu.
I want them to show up there , how do i do that ?
When you installed apps, did you choose to install to device rather than storage card?
Remove installed programs.
Apply apps cabs again, but choose install to device.
The apps have been installed before the hard reset , and on the sd card and they did show up on the start menu even though they were installed on the storage card.
And after the hard reset , they are still there and work but don't show up in the start menu.
You can create a shortcut by copying the .exe file on the SD card then going to
\Windows\Start Menu\Program Files\ and pasting as shortcut.
You will find that not all work as they will be missing registry entries and registration codes etc. These you will need to re-install and or re-register.
Incidentally, Hard Rest only restores the Phone memory - it has nothing to do with the SD Card.
because when you did a hard reset it doesnt wipe the sd card so everything will still be on there, as the post above suggest you can create shortcuts, or just delete the programs folder from you're sd card and re-install everything
I save all my apps direct to sd card then when I install them I install basic programs eg net.cf and cookies to device and everthing else to storage card, aslong as you are installing a cab it'll automatically create a link to your start menu, and god I've hard to hard set numerous times and it always works the same for me
