Add/Remove program list after activesync upgrade - General Topics

After upgrading ActiveSync from v4.2 to v4.5, I can no longer see the list of PocketPC software located on my PC which can be installed on the PocketPC via ActiveSync.
What can I do to see them again in the Add/Remove Program list ?
cf. screenshot (only the software installed on the PocketPC are listed, what I do to have the PocketPC software located on my PC again ?)
Thanks for any help !

if you install them again on the pc they should show up
though it say they are already installed on ppc and if you want to leave it alone just say yes

The problem is that I already have lots of PocketPC application on my PC that I would like to install on my PocketPC... but I can not longer do that via Activesync because I can not see these programs in the 'Add/Remove programs' list

Not sure if this helps you... But check this out
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\AppMgr\Apps\
I've had a problem once, that my ActiveSync didn't want to install any apps to the smartphone again. So I searched in the damn registry and I found huge list of old applications which I uninstalled. So I removed from registry the old orphaned keys, and somehow AS allowed me to install again.
This registry key shows all the apps which are installed via ActiveSync. To say it little easy - what you see in ActiveSync should be also in the registry.

or reinstall them on the pc then they will show up no matter what will not take up more hd space as it will overwrite the old entries

OK, so now I understand where all these information are located.
Unfortunately the above registry key was empty on my computer
Everything as been removed by ActiveSync automatic upgrade
Thanks for your information. Next I will be smarter, and make a registry export before

Hi, having some problems with my Touch Pro

Please bear with me, as this is my first windows mobile phone and I'm not all too familiar with it.
First problem is, tapping "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab does not work. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that the Opera browser was not installed on my device! Now, as far as I know, it should come already in all devices. So, I downloaded the Opera 9.5 browser off their website. How can I set it up so when I tap "Launch Browser" on the Internet tab, Opera 9.5 will automatically run? Currently tapping it still does nothing.
Second is, I've been hearing about this "Windows" folder in the HTC Touch Pro. I can't seem to locate this. When I browse for it with my computer, the name of the TP's "hard drive" is "\", and then I see the following folders:
Application Data, ConnMgr, Content, Documents and Settings, Music, My Documents, Program Files, cemail (hidden file), pim
Is this root folder the "Windows" folder?
Third thing is, in the "Programs" tab in TF3D, there's this icon there that when I press (looks like the default icon for a folder in Vista), it gives me an error. It says "The file 'wt5jetpr' 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."
There we go, that's all. Thank you, if you've read this far.
I can't help with the Opera thing but as for your Windows folder, it's a system file and hidden. You will have to unhide it in your Vista/XP operating system before you can see it using your PC>
You see, I already enabled the viewing of hidden folders. There aren't any other items other than the ones I listed.
EDIT: I tried creating a folder called "Windows" and Vista tells me I can't, because a folder of the same name already exists.
That's weird.. hidden folders are already enabled and I still can't see it.
Hiya, i'm a bit of a noob myselft with regards to wm6.1 so for the opera issue i dont think i could be much help with that same with the file that wont delete so i hope someone else will answer that, to see ur windows folder though when the phone is connected to the pc open up explorer on ur pc and click on tools/folder options then click on view and make sure either the "hide protected operating system files" box is unchecked &/or the "show hidden system files box is checked and this should let you see the windows folder.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: looks like someone already answered in the time it took me to type that, my own fault for multitasking ...

Same thing as you, when I browse to the device from Windows Explorer.
However, if I go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab and I select "Show hidden files and folders", the Windows directory is displayed.

By the name, it looks like it is JetCet Print 5.
Strange you have these errors. Do you use a custom ROM?
PS: been too slow to answer too. but at least the answers match ;-)
I'm not using a custom rom =\. The rom came with my device.
It's:
1.90.405.1.WWE
It's a HTC Touch Pro T7272
Then I advise you to do a Hard Reset. Opera and JetCet print should be there, and should not give you any certificate errors.
I advise you to read a lot these forums, gather as much info as you can, and experimenting with your device. You have a powerhouse in your hands, you know? you have unlimited possibilities. Any questions should you have must be asked.
Alright, I'll give that a try tomorrow after the day's gone so I have lots of time to figure things out.
Sorry for the double post, but I figure this message won't get read if I simply edit my last post.
Anyways, I hard resetted the device and I got Opera and that printing program working! Thanks creiz.
Just one last thing I'm trying to figure out.. is there any way I can get a custom alarm ring tone without downloading a program? (I'm trying to avoid having to do that if possible)

Not sure what else to do...

I have had this topic posted in the other forums and unfortunately no one was able to solve my dilema. So, I'm hoping some of the SW experts in here may be able to help out. I have an original HTC TP. When connected to my PC (Vista 32 bit) active sync works and the TP is recognized. When I want to browse the contents of TP, using my PC I cannot see anything? The content window shows 0 files/items? I've checked my folder settings and they are set to view all hidden and sys files. Even when I go to "my computer" and click on the TP icon, the content window opens and there's nothing there? I've disabled antivirus and firewall and still nothing? This is driving me crazy...
* Thread Moved *
Does pressing F5 make them appear. I have this some times.
Re-installing Active Sync Fixes it (I have the MSI on my desktop )
EDIT:
You're using vista? Should you be using WMDC, not active sync?

[REQ] TomTom destroys Bluetooth function - BTTrayCE.exe etc. needed

Hello together!
After installing TomTom on my HD2 the internal Bluetooth-function doesn´t work...as far as I know it is recommended to rename/delete the following files to fix this issue:
BTTrayCE.exe, BtSdkCE30.dll and BtCoreIf.dll
But in fact I can´t rename/delete any of these files...tried with windows explorer, TotalCommander and the HD2 Explorer (I don´t know if they are in use?! according to the task mangager they aren´t)
So could anybody please upload these 3 files from a working HD2 Device?
I renamed BtSdkCE30.dll and deleted BtCoreIf.dll.
For some reason BtSdkCE30.dll was in use, but I was able to rename it.
As far as I know you leave BTTrayCE.exe the way it is.
Done with Total Commander btw.
Maybe restart your HD2 if you can't even rename them, then try again before doing anything else.
Tomtom doesn't list the software as compatible with the HD2...
So i can imagine none of you did buy it and all use a not compatible cracked version. tttttttttttttttt
So now enjoy the dark side !!!!!!

this works with almost any problem situation with tomtom...
preferable, install to memorycard on another device, then run tomtom from card without installing it, cause you put all the files on memorycard already... yes i did buy it for my touch pro...
If you are installing with a cab file,
Install in your storage card and hard reset.
Now, don't install again.Copy tomtomnavigator.exe from program folder in storage card and place a shorcut in windows programs folder.

It's working well on my HD2 without issues.
Hey there!! First, thank you for your answers!
Well, i really don´t want to make a hard reset!! TomTom itself runs very well on the device (and it runs on my device too), my only problem is that the bluetooth will not work as long as these three files have not been deleted or rather been exchanged with the untouched files .
Let me explain that: If files have been deleted, the HD2 will restore them from the rom automaticly after a reboot and everything is fine. Most people who had to handle with the same problem (TomTom vs. Bluetooth) had success with this method, but a few devices deny the access on these files, so they can´t be deleted or renamed. So is mine.
And for this reason I asked for the original files from a working rom! It would make it possible for me to replace my corrupt files...
Has anybody of you guys a few minutes of time an wants to upload the three files please?
It would really make my day!!

If device deny access to files, they cannot be renamed or deleted, you cannot replace them with other files too... (do you tried Resco Explorer?)
I have made a personalized cab of TomTom Navigator which doesn't install the bluetooth-specific files. If needed I can upload it somewhere and give you the link via PM

You mean the device ID?
You can open the ttnavigator.bif with notepad in your PC for the device details.
How I fixed the problem
I had the same problem, so I deleted the three files with resco. Two of the files will "appear" not to be deleted because they are ROM files. The important thing is that you need to have a shortcut to BTTrayCE.exe in \Windows\Startup.
Thanks for the posts!
As I said, it´s not possible to delete the files in my case...thats why i want some original files to exchange them.
...Is nobody out there how wants to upload these three little files for me? ...
I had this, All I did was launch TC, goto \windows do a select bt* delete all files, and it fails to delete most of them, but soon as I did that BT came back to life....
I can't help with the missing files as my device has still to arrive but I read that installing version 7.915.9196 VGA from HTC Iolite works without the bluetooth problem.
hey guys i could really use that bluetooth file.. i sorta messed it up too with the tom tom...
Hey Londontownguy:
Thanks for your suggestion! But as i said above, i really don´t want to hard reset. And the 7.915.9196 VGA from HTC Iolite doesn´t contain the "healthy" files, so an installation without hardreset doesn´t fix the problem.
Now we are two people including phatjesus81...andagain:
...Is nobody out there how wants to upload these three little files?...
myeah..
i cant start my bluetooth anymore because last week after installing tomtom7 i got the error and baleeted BTTrayCE.exe somewhere , even though it is in my \windows\ folder together with the btcore and btsdkce50 dlls.. cant remove those..
so BBTrayCE.exe is in my windows folder right now , and bluetooth wont start.. does that have anything to do with the other two dll's still being there or am i a booboo?
i mean, i totally removed ttn..
so now i'm totally stuck..

PC tool to expord HD2 registry in XML

in old good times when i had Touch HD somwhere on XDA (not in HD thereads) i found a PC software that was able to connect to PDA (probaly via activesync i guess) and read the registry.
than it was possible to export selected portions of the registry to PC in XML format. that was useful to automate resotre of certain settings like WiFi, connections and email accounts after hard reset or rom flash
now i lost the software and can not nither recall the name nor find it in the forum.
if you came accross one - please let me know where i can find it again.
many thanks!

Extract sms and contacts from WM 6.5

Hi!
My touchscreen stopped working and I really need to get my new sms's and contact list from the the phone (TD2). Is this possible? I'm able to browse to phone while connected through usb in Vista but I don't know where the information is located and whether or not it's viewable from Windows.
Any solution to this?

Weird, the software says "can't find the phone" after searching through com-ports. Though windows finds it and I can brows it through explorer.
Anyone knows a fix for this or any other way to get this information. My phone explorer looks good though and exactly what I need but it's strange I can't get it to find my phone....
edit: As I mentioned I use USB but that's not an option in the settings next to "port".. I can only chose "COM1"
Use My Mobiler to view your PPC TD2 screen on your PC (link in my signature)
You can extract sms & contacts using PIMbackup (found free on xda or via google) or many other software backup options.
If the above fails to work you can copy the pim & cemail file from your phone device directory.

First, thanks alot for the help. Second, My mobiler needed me to confirm on touch screen on my phone which is not possible, a software like this without this would of been perfect.
PIMback doesnt seem to work with Windows 7 or I need some additional files/apps 'cause it says its not a valid win32 software..
Still, I try to get it to work, meanwhile I'd appreciate if anyone has more suggestions to share. I've been looking around but is unable to find programs that work. Pretty puzzled why this is such a hard task.....
Where is the pim and cemail files located`? I find a pim file but what is the best way to view these?
Edit: I see pimbackup is a program for windows mobile. I need a program for windows OR a program which could extract the information from pim and cemail files or any other way to get this info
....one more thing, it seems impossible to read or copy the fil "cemail".. it says the file is being used or something.. guess my hope of retrieving the sms's and so on are gone.. I was able to copy the pim.vol file though... maybe I will be able to get my numbers, but how?....
The manual files of My Mobiler launched Via PC has never asked for input via PPC screen n any installation I have done & have used it on a couple of broken screen devices for work employees.
You can load your pim file to another device or WM PC emulator to recover data, or forward to me (PM me) & I will try make recovery files you can view via PC & use to install to another device.
Jeyo Mobile Companion worked for me.
