After enabling MFG,
it seems as it the only way to remove it from the app list is by uninstalling.
Does it uninstall for good?
or can I bring it back later again?
In other word, Does uninstalling perminently uninstall mfg?
or just delist from the app list?
Thank you`!
What I think happens is that by uninstalling, it removes the program. However, the install xap file is still on the system and can be reinstalled by putting in the right key code.
Great question, I had the same one.
But it won't screw anything up right?
no, it won't

Well after applying a couple tweaks to my KJAM. I have a problem now, I cant uninstall any program. I go to add remove and select remove it then says cant remove, do i want to delete from program list. I also cant reinstall the same app...unless i delete the old directory manually. It seems to me that it is some form of read only protection. any ideas ??
I'm getting the same error as well. I used to have an app on my Jam that would uninstall files and its better then the built in uninstaller. Right now i'm lookin for it but can't remember its name..
i got the same problem
Same here :twisted:
I have had that problem as well. I have found that if I soft reset the device, then run the uninstall, the program is conmpletely removed without issue. I believe that this error is caused by something related to the program still running in the background.

Tried using ActiveSync to add/remove programs?
I too have the same problem and i soft reset to properly uninstall anything.
You can use SKtools 2.3.30 at http://s-k-tools.com/ to uninstall any program you wish to
works well? thanks for the suggestion

I do have this problem with WM% cause in WM2003SE i hadn't experienced it..but there's a solution try MEMMAID to delete the remained shortcuts and registry records of bad uninstalled app.
Also you can have spb PLus to be able to boot the device in safe mode so in that mode you can uninstall any application without any problem
How to uninstall
Some programs need uninstall twice.
1 step

when uninstaler ask:
program not remove completly, do you remove from uninstaller list - answer no
2 step
soft reset
3 step
another standard uninstall
4 step
if needed repeat step 2,3
uninstall completed

SK Tools have great functions about this topic. Try it !
By far the easiest way i found to do it was to navigate to Windows > AppMgr folder then remove the folder inside there that matches the program your trying to uninstall. Eg VoiceCommand
as well as going to windows\appmgr you should also navigate to program files if your doing a manual uninstall\delete.
Hi, I cannot seem to install the HTCPhone.cab app, it tells me that it is already installed, asks me to uninstall, then tells me it can't uninstall, and at the end of the installation tells me that it is unsuccessful... How do I clean up the registry / remove files in order to install the APP.
Thanks
Joel
Take a look in the registry at HKLM\Security\AppInstall, you should find it there if it's installed. maybe try renaming the key from there, since you're reinstalling it you might be ok. Or Try using something like memmaid to uninstall it, I think it can clear it up better. Thomas
I tried to install Bandswitch except for some reason it didn't work so I tried to uninstall it, it said that it was not completely removed and if I want to remove it from the list of installed programs, but the app still shows up in the uninstall list and I try to install the latest version it says it can't since there is a version already installed, it also tries to replace it but gives me an installation unsuccessful message.
Is there any way of completely getting rid of this and then being able to install the latest version.
sounds like you might need to hard reset unless you speak to the developer of the app you are having problems with.
unless... try installing the same version again?

Hi. You can use SK Tools to uninstall the app, and also use Memmaid to delete the shortcut(icon).
No hard reset needed
Windows Mobile can be a ***** for uninstalling apps. Usually if there is a process still running for the app when you try to uninstall it you will run into trouble.
Soft Reset between using an app and trying to remove it. Of course if the app loads itself on Start-up this will be futile
In this case it may be a Hard-Reset to fix the isue. Sorry.

Agreed, if you are using the "remove programs" option that comes with the phone, its not good.
I use Memmaid and it always removes it completely for me so as mentioned give that a go first before a hard reset.

Are you trying to uninstall via ActineSync/WinMODeviceCenter?
Do it from the phone and install by copying your cabs to the mem card and ruuning the installer from there.
Then you won't have a history of installed apps that builds up with AS/WMDC.
Just had something weird happen. I have Extended Controls installed and it isn't working. I was gonna uninstall and reinstall but it won't let me uninstall. Says uninstall not successful. Tried with the uninstall in the top right, with the easy uninstall app and directly in the app menu. None worked. Anyone had this issue???
