Program Installation Problem

I have had many pocket PC's and the Universal w/WM5 is the only one that gives me consistant installation problems. I had listpro 3.0 installed in program memory. I uninstalled it with the intent of re-installing it on the SD card. Unchecking it from activesync did nothing. Removing from the ppc directly told me that all of the file were not removed. I saw the the folder still existed in program files, do I deleted the directory and shortcuts pointing to it. I have had this exact same problem MANY times
Am I the only one with this problem? I don't find any messages like this.
Next, I try to reinstall listpro and it won't reinstall :x I get a message cannot be installed, try another location (which does not work). Do I need a hard reset? I tryed installing another program and I can still install other stuff, but the removal did not work again.

Hi Gary!
I have a lot of experience in this sh*t. WM5 cannot uninstall or install in a lot of cases. Usually if you still have some files or folders which are on the same location than with the installation, installer says: cannot install. In that case you have to delete (or rename) the folder left, and then you can install it. In other cases installer stays in a loop install condition, and cannot continue. In that case try to install another application to finish somelooped order. I realised another thing, which is very interesting: when you want to uninstall a program, and your pda says it cannot be removed - or something -, if I run Vijay555 killphone application in 98% of the cases after it I can uninstall the same.
I hope this wil help!

Hi,
Perhaps I have been lucky but I havent had any issues with regards to installing or uninstalling programs.
I do make sure that I soft reset before and after - so maybe thats a golden rule!
Matt

Yes, softreset would be a good tip in more cases, but it wouldn't solve the problem when you want to install a program which needs a place what exists.

I did find some files in the windows directory and deleted them. That WORKED. Just doing program files is not enough. In this case, the file name was the same as the program. I don't expect to be that lucky all the time.
I have done soft-resets when it does not work. I do a number of trial programs and tend to forget prior to removal. What a apin
Got to love Microsoft - reboot is the answer to everything.

Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?

Can`t install .cab anymore

Hello.
I have a problem with the installation of software on my x1.
No matter how I try CAB is always only the message "installation of xxxxx.cab failed"
However, space is enough available.
I have tried to download cab from the web, moved it via USB-cable or downloaded an email-attachment. Fails everytime, same for storage-card or memory.
This issue appears since 2 days, don`t know what has changed
I run the latest official ROM and Radio for WM6.1
thanks
Raggi

it is a bug
on third-fourth try cabs can be installed

I have tried it now 15 times and couldnt install the .cabs
one thing is interesting: If want to copy/paste the cab to a different folder, this error pops up: "Cannot copy, access denied. Please make sure that destination is not write-protected, file is not used and that there is enough memory" (my translation into English)
If I create a new folder and want to rename it later, I get the same error

try to format sd card

issue is solved by doing a hard reset

If you'd given of chance I could have saved you the time of reseting. See this post I just submitted for someone else.

Error message after soft reboot

Hi guys I've had my HTC HD2 for about 2 months now and it's really good (T-Mobile UK) - with the original rom - I haven't bothered cooking it with anything else.
I've updated a few things with some the tweaks mentioned on here - cheers for those!
One of the things I've noticed is that since I installed .Net 3.5 Compact (I think it was this), everytime I perform a soft reboot, I get the following error message:
"The file 'Documents and Settings' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
When I go into the "Documents and Settings" folder on the phone (using Resco File Manager), there is only the "default" subfolder dated 06/01/1980 and nothing else.
Do you know how I can fix this? I don't really want to do a hard reboot as this will wipe everything off the phone's memory.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

HD2 certificate/component problem

Up until a few days ago, my HD2 was working fine. Then I tried to install Android. I used the one that you just copy to the storage card and run a file called zharet.exe ( !!NOT HARET.EXE!! ). I think it was Cotulla's ROM. First time, it crashed. Second time, meaning after I installed Radio ROM version 2.12, which is required (more specifically, 2.08 or above is required, but 2.12 was easier to find), it started and installed, then rebooted. Third time it worked and was able to send a text message to my stepfather. I switched back to WinMO to ask him if it got there, then I started Android again. It crashed, sending me to the boot screen of WinMO. Upon this start I was no longer able to run many files (executables), the running of which resulted in the message "The File *PROGRAM NAME* cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have tried numerous fixes:
Soft reset
Reinstalling the applications
Seeing if .NET Compact Framework was installed; the phone claimed it was, but I couldn't find any trace of it and so I tried to reinstall it. I was not able to, so I "uninstalled" it from the phone, which still thought it had it; the operation took no time, so I doubt it was there in the first place. When I tried installing it to the phone again, it said that this version was already in the ROM. Also tried installing an older version of the CF, but it just said I had a newer version.
Switching memory cards (3 different ones)
Renaming the memory card and restarting, a fix recommended to some other people who had a problem with similar symptoms. It refused to cooperate and said that the memory card could not be renamed.
My next step will be to rename the memory card using a device other than the phone itself.
I don't want to hard reset as I wish to keep my messages and contacts, but if that's what is needed to "un-half-brick" this phone, I will of course do it. The way it acts now, I might as well have kept my n95.
It is worth noting that HardSPL should be installed, as it was required for the Radio ROM flash.
EDIT: HardSPL install IS verified, boot screen reads as follows:
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-1.42.HSPL XE
0x05
CotullaHSPL 0x30
In this thread, Gargoyle999 is describing my exact problem: forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1882858
Keep in mind that this phone is Norwegian with Telenor as its carrier, although the phone itself is not locked and capable of using any carrier.
EDIT: The files that may not be run are mostly third-party ones, like MorphGear, zharet, Google Maps and so on. Most programs that came with the phone, like Copilot, Footprints and Opera work.
I am not too familiar with XDA, so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section or making some other rookie mistake xD

I am having the same issued on one of my HD2's...anyone??? Help!!!!

This is NOT and android problem.
I'm not exactly sure, but it's a security measure in WinMo that disallows unsigned programs from running after the system has crashed due to those programs running, probably to protect the system from malicious programs.
All you need to do is disable security on it. There are various thread on this site in different places that tell you how to. Personally, I found the mobile security configurations manager(windows) is the best way. Just plug in your phone in WinMo, using activesync, open the program, and load device. Then you can just select no security, and provision it. It'll overwrite all the proper registery settings and whatnot for you.
Also, GOOGLE IT. I found all this information myself just by searching "Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file" +windows mobile 6.5

Yes, yes Google it...I understand...But guess what? I did and found the same utility. And guess what? I got another error when it tries to install a cab file on the phone and for whatever reason the cab file errors out...I came here after reading and trying a ton of stuff and happened upon the OP's topic today.
Another thing is I realize it may not be an Android specific problem BUT prior to installing the mattcfroyo build and then attempting to test another build I didn't have any issue installing a cab file from the SD card. Also before anyone offers about installing another SD card I tried that also and no haps.
Weird and I am still searching for a solution but again XDA is the spot and researching here has not provided me with a working solution as of now....sssooooo...HELP!? Or not...

Look up all of the google registry fixes, and try every single one of them.
If none of them work and the program I recommended doesn't work, backup and hard-reset.
then, when it's done first thing use that program to disable security.
Also, most custom ROMs have security disabled by default.

Well I just went ahead and flashed a new rom and I am good to go...

I have tried your application. Got the same results as lstrike, error when installing CAB file. Also, how am I supposed to edit the registry when I can't run third party programs?

Will flash Miri's ROM soon. Any idea of whether or not that one has security disabled by default?

sigh i got the exact same problem after trying to run andriod.... any luck?

same problem here, did anyone face the problem then resolve it?

I found the solution !
When the error appears just go to marketplace, download the free version of Resco Explorer
(Resco was the first official registry app I found but if there's another in marketplace i guess it will do just fine)
After this open Resco Registry (included in Resco File Explorer) and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
Then go to 0000101a and change DWORD Data value to 1
Now every thing is perfect and you can open all of your apps
Good luck !

Thank you, this solution saved my day!

[Q] "Application not signed" after unsuccessful run of Android

I am running my HD2 on the stock ROM: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2. 15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe with SPL 3.03 (Stock, not HSPL). I read carefully instructions, and followed all steps, I am not going to describe them, used following Android build [30.11.2010] MDJ FroYo HD v. 4.0 [Kernel: MDJ S7.3HD].
After Haret.exe HD2 reseted, and there was only white screen with HTC logo quite a while. I soft reseted the phone, and after that reset almost all programs are unable to start, with following message: "The file ‘cecmd’cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found". It does not mean where are they installed, SD card or Phone storage. But not all of them, e.g. Opera 10 still runs. It also refuses to install new programs, installation process immediately ends, with "Installation was unsuccessful" ((
I digged the forum, and somewhere it was proposed to change registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies DWord = 0000101a - Change value from 0 to 1
But I can not do so: I can not run the registry editor, which I have on my HD2 (Total Commander), I can not install new, or install a tweak, and also when trying to edit registry from my PC through activesync connection with CE Registry Editor and Mobile registry editor it returns with error "access denied".
I do not want to make hard reset. I think there should be a solution, other than HR or flashing new cooked ROM.
Thank you in advance.

I found the solution Special THANKS to JZ SmartMort
Following simple steps:
1) Download following file: http://www.internet-tools.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/sda_unlock.zip
From archive we need only SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe
It allows Registry to be edited from PC.
Run it with working Activesync connection
2) Download Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.zipsoft.ru/catalog/mobile_registry_editor-v1_11.html
Also run with working Activesync connection
3) and modify the following keys to the values listed.
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101b","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001005","4 0")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","0000101a","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001001","1 ")
("HKLM","Security\Policies\Policies","00001017","2 4")
It perfectly worked with HD2, but I guess it should work with all WM devices.
FYI, here are some other useful software packages that relax the security.

Thanks!
@uta77 : Thanks! Yours was the only solution that worked!
Actually, just running SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe was enough for me to get CeRegEdit to change the registry - after changing policy 0000101a to 1, all apps started working again!

thanks uta77

thank you really much! i was all evening arguing with myself to avoid an hard reset. and you solved my problem.

Big Thanks!
I had to make all your suggested changes before it worked but saved me from a hard reset!
