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.

Hi everybody!
(hi doctor nick)
I'm having a few little issues with CAB files on my pda2k.
maybe this should be in the blue angel thread, but it's to do with application development, so i put it here. I also tried the forum search, with no results.
i'm wanting to use all my customised cab files that i made for my XDA2, and use them on my new device, the PDA2K.
all of the cabs work, and all of my applications run.
however, upon installing the cab, a message comes up on my pda and says "the program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of windows mobile software"
i've checked the version nifo in all my .inf files.
i've compared them to newer cab files that don't give me that message.
the inf files look fine.
is this a registry setting perhaps, that i could change?
like i said, all the apps work, i just want to stop it from giving me that warning.
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks !
The warning is just about what it says: You are trying to run older (ie now specifically designed for SE) software.
Noithing to worry about when thing work as supposed.
You can get rid of the message by setting the OS verion inse the CAB files higher (but you need ie. WinCE Cab Manager by OCP Software for that) .
i know there isn't anything to worry about. the apps work.
it's just that for the purpose of creating an SOE, i don't want customers to have to click "ok" everytime they reset their device, all apps must install without prompt from beginning to end.
I have winCE cab manager, and have set the version and build number higher in the inf file, yet i can't seem to get rid of the message.
any other ideas ?
you have to set the lower version number to th version of WinCE youre using now.
Set some 'very high' value to the higher version number
There is another thread on this somewhere . . .thats where I got this info from
yeah, tried that too
i sset my version details like this:
[CEDevice]
ProcessorType=0
UnsupportedPlatforms="JUPITER","HPC"
VersionMin=3.0
VersionMax=10.00
BuildMin=0
BuildMax=100000
still no good.
anyways, i'll keep searching for the related thread. i new there would be such a discussion in here, just a matter of finding it.
I think it was versionMin=4.21

thanks M4io,
that's the link i was looking for
ok, there seems to be something wrong here.
either that, or i'm doing it wrong (highly unlikely :lol: )hahha.
anyway, i've tried all different versions, i've tried all different build's.nothing. still won't work.
so i downloaded the latest operator settings for my device.
that cab ran no problems, so i extracted the inf, then i copied all the version info from that one, and dumped it into the inf that i'm trying to package. ran the cab on the device, and i still get that error !!
how can that be?
there must be something else in my cab, that governs version conflicts.
anyone
Hi Twinair,
please try to set it as follows:
[CEDevice]
ProcessorType=0
UnsupportedPlatforms="JUPITER","HPC"
VersionMin=3.0
VersionMax=4.21
BuildMin=0
BuildMax=-536870912

I've tried with the above settings buzz, but it still doesn't work.
does the CEsetup.dll, or setup.dll have anything to do with version control perhaps ?
could be, that you should use your own setup.dll
I really don't know now... I've never made a cab which was not complaining about the older version... (
Looked for it also in internet, but found nothing...
But if you download the trial ver of OCP CabManager, you can unpack cabs for SE and take a look there... my trial period is expired now...
Maybe you can try to use setup.dll out of such cab...
buzz
damn, still not getting anywhere.
i've put in the correct version info, i've used a setup.dll file from a known working cab file, i have the latest full version of cab manager.
i'm fresh out of ideas
back to the drawing board.
if i figure it out, i'll let you know.
This is what MSDN says at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...dnwm2k3/html/screen_orientation_awareness.asp
Installation Warning Messages
When a legacy application is installed on a Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC capable of screen rotation, the warning message will appear
This dialog is to advise the user that the application they are about to use may not be aware of square screens or screen rotation, and may not display properly in landscape mode. This dialog will only appear if the VersionMin value (which specifies the lowest OS revision number your app supports) file is less than 4.21.
Since setting VersionMin to 4.21 will prevent your application from installing on older Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs, it is recommend that you disable this warning message by setting the BuildMax value (which is typically unused) equal to the following values:
BuildMax values
0xA0000000 Application supports square screens (240x240 pixels).
0xC0000000 Application supports screen rotation.
0xE0000000 Application supports square screens and screen rotation.
These parameters can be changed by editing the [CEDevice] section of the INF file which cabwiz uses to generate your CAB file.
so
[CEDevice]
VersionMin=4.21
VersionMax=4.99
BuildMax=0xE0000000
Should do the trick[/b]
@Shikra
...perfect man, let me test it... )))

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,

Okay, I've been playing with my new Rhodium quite a bit-- and I keep encountering a number of "Installation of ____ was unsuccessful" errors when installing various programs that worked on my original AT&T Tilt.
The perfect example was just now when I tried to install "Resco Explorer 2008 Trial" from the cab file off their website. I've also encountered this type of error when installing total commander and a number of others on skyler17's "Software worth installing on the TP2" post. I've hard re-set a number of times with the same results. Yet, only a few others like Skype & Swype install just fine.
Are the errors a publisher certificate issue with WinMo 6.5?
Any ideas of how to work around these errors?
My current device info--
Phone: AT&T Tilt 2 (HTC Rhodium)
ROM: Stock, AT&T 1.59.502.5 (67150) (9/25/09)
Radio: 4.48.25.50
Thank you for your help!
Note: The only "advance" thing I've done is flash the "Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL", but I'm still running the stock AT&T Rom. (The stall in me flashing a new ROM is mainly b/c I'm having trouble finding a full stock AT&T copy to re-flash in case I don't care for some of the cooked ROMs-- but that's another issue...).
Okay, how about this-- Is anyone else have these issues or is it just my device?
I'm having it but only on one application I am trying to install.
It states that it doesn't have authorised permissions or something like that. All the other apps can be installed normally though.

I have the AT&T Tilt 2
stock ROM 1.59.502.3 (67150) WWE 09/25/09
Radio 4.48.25.20
Have applied the same "Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL" without issue, and also have not yet changed up my ROM. I have tweaked the TF3D though.. applied Co0kieMonster's HQ wallpaper patch and using HDWall. Installed (removed, installed, etc) numerous applications without incident other than a warning the cab's are unsigned, they let me install and work just fine, though.
.
Okay-- I figured it out.
The software installations issues were from an older Microsoft .NET Compact Framework (v2.0.7045.00) that the AT&T Tilt2 comes with.
Why the Tilt 2 is not shipped with the newer MS .NET Compact Framework (v3.5.7283.00) is beyond me. The real challenge was getting the new .NET to fully install & run properly. After a bunch of reading-- here is the proper way to get it to work.
To install Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 on your device:
1. Download .NET Compact Framework 3.5 from Microsoft
2. Run the downloaded MSI file and let it install.
3. Connect your device to Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center and finish the automatically launched installation on your device.
4. Soft reset your device. (this is a must)
5. Open a Registry editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework where you will see two entries for the (now two) existing version references: the old one, which came with your device and the new one you just installed.
6. Change the DWord value of 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 (thus enabling it) and all the other values (i.e.: 2.0.7045.00) from 1 to 0 (thus disabling it/them).
7. Soft reset your device.
8. Congratulations! You have upgraded to .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
Thank you pocketnow.com for the guide.
Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 now runs as well as all my other software I was having trouble installing/running.
Here is the Registry Editor 0.9 beta I used (free from TouchXperience.com)
Hopefully this will help other with software installation issues and other users having difficulty installing Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5.
First problem i have, whenever i try to use the windows update i get the following message:
Connection to update server was not available. Check our data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Date & time is correct, mobile connects to websites ok so i dont see why it wont connect?
while googling this, i found theres a ROM upgrade for the phone aswell, do i need it? the phones 6months old and has ROM version 1.56.405.1
The main reason im wanting to use windows update is because i've tried to install a couple of apps and it tells me i need an upgraded .net framework, is there any other way to do this? and how can i find the latest version?
thanks if anyone can help.
dont waste your time...
in short ,dont waste your time with windows update,it is not used ,at all.
windows update (according to interviews on FACEBOOK..windows mobile, with relevant persons from MICROSOFT.....) is only for very crictical updates and they have never used it ,(as far as i know...?)
best is to navigate to htc website ....
http://www.htc.com/mea-en/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
..make sure to select your country ..top right of webpage ,
note, above link i provided... is for htc middle east and africa...and upgrades might not be applicable to your country...!!!!
the .net issue is seperate issue..has got nothing to do with upgrade..!!..
it is used for certain applications to function...
, google for ..something like ...."netcf 3.5 download "....or/
try this link and make sure it is what you are looking for.....!!!!!
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
follow link..it will take you to microsoft web page (dont worry, it is a free applications ) ,but be aware ,the application is about 33 megabytes,and download it to your pc.
afterwards , you have to connect phone to pc and install from pc.to phone..reboot phone and you application should work.?
( do not try and install from phone ,it wont work )
good luck

From what I can see you already currently have the latest ROM upgrade that is also available via HTC's website, so there is no need for you to download and install it again. At the time, the ROM was released to improve the overall functionality of the phone and fix some existing issues with it.
Here is what the ROM upgrade contained:
Improved Functions and Fixes
1. Updated the Connection Setup Database.
2. Improved emergency call connections while using Airplane Mode.
3. The GPS position updating speed has been enhanced.
4. A Title bar display flicker in TouchFLO 3D has been corrected.
5. Fixed multiple browsing issues.
Go to this link, and download and install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to your device. After you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, reset your phone.
thanks alot guys, appretiated
Since installing this, im getting quite a few error reports
"A problem has occured with... please tell microsoft about this program"
Reflashing the rom might help.

In that case, (if i was in your shoes) i would try to hard reset first then install the .NET cab first and then any other programs you want afterwards. Then hopefully those nasty errors will disappear
