Whenever I install a program onto my SD card it does not show up in the list on the remove programs application. I also notice that if I install something on the device it does not appear on the remove program list and it does not create anything in the My Device\Program Files but the program does work. Is it possible that the programs and the uninstall data are being written somewhere they are not supposed to be. I have an O2 XDA Exec which has been flashed with windows mobile 6.1. Any help would be appreciated as I now have a large number of programs that I have installed to try out and now cannot remove them.
What program are you trying to install?
It is not a specific program I am trying to install which is causing the problem. All of the programs I have installed over the last week or so do not show up in the remove programs list.
Does anyone know were the uninstall information is kept in WM6.1

OK, pretty weird. I think the best (and maybe only) way to solve it, is flashing another, more stable ROM.

Uninstall info is kept in several places. You should get files in \windows\appmgr that list all the stuff installed. Also, the program is recorded in \mxip_swmgmnt.vol. Finally, there are reg entries for installed apps. I think the main one is hklm\software\apps. It has the install directory. Apps don't appear in the list if the cab is not uninstallable.
If you have sk tools, use it to install\un-install cabs. It's much better than the stock method.

need to borrow from friend and try deleting will keep posted. suspect this software crashes or conflict with others. very reluctant to do a hard reset may wipe off certain files....
Anyway thanks for your input and what's your opinion on this issue whyy cannot be deleted????
Hello!
I will receive my Polaris in a couple of days And I will probably load some new programs into it.
My question is: after a hard reset it will be back to factory settings right?
How do you load the new programs again?
Do you load them one by one, or is there a kind of backupprogram that will load all the programs for you?
Thank you.
And this is a excellent forum

Of course you can use a backup program. The best are SPB Backup & Sprite Backup.
There are some backup programs, but they only store the contact/mail/calendar data... I'm not sure if there is any that backups the programs... the best way is to install everything on the memory card, and backup the shortcut files on the memory card. After the HR you only have to copy those back in the StartMenu folder
Som program dont work whithout registry entries or other installed components, so these won't work whith the method above.
The Activesync, and the Device Center has a list of installed/installable apps that will install those on user request (mass install), but that will still intall them 1 by 1....

If you're getting a sim free polaris, then, it comes with a free HTC back up software and a complimentary Sprite Back up software. You can use either of them. Install either one of them on the main memory but make sure you put your back up on your storage card.
Side note: Load APPLICATION software one at a time and observed the behaviour of your device for a day or so. If it's working according to your expectations then make a back up and install another one.
Thanks guys
And my Polaris comes sim free so hopefully the software I need is included in the package.

There have been complaints about the (old) version of Sprite Backup that is included in the CD of Polaris. I would suggest to install the latest version of Sprite Backup or SPB Backup.
The HTC backup tool is Sprite Backup 5.10 (P3650_BackupTool_5.1.0.b1450_HTC_WWE_20071102.exe)
And the included 'SpriteBackupEnglishPersonalSetup.exe' is the same as the HTC one, but it installs a PC suite aswell.
On my Cruise I would want to install Opera 9,5 beta, in order to recover space I would want before to eliminate Opera 8,65 that is settled in rom, like I can make?
Which are the files that I must cancel is in Windows that in the Registry.
Thanks for the sure answer
Installing the new version, the old one should be deleted, even if it was in the ext-rom.

The method is not valid!
After the first installed and uninstalled new Opera downloaded from the web only the icon disappears from the menu "programs".
Instead of program files in windows and in the register remain .....
seems that the installation file for Opera is OperaWM.exe . not sure how you should go about though. maybe deleting the exe and then hard resetting so as for it not to be installed. then install the beta.
I just deleted the "\application data\Opera" folder it was about 4MB. The .exe gets replaced, I wouldn't delete it if you've already intalled the beta since that would cause it not to work.

The source or destination file may be in use." error. why is this? i want to delete it because it is causing me certain problems. thank you to anyone who can help me with this problem.
that's because those files are in the ROM.

Having you tried browsing your device with your PC and delete from there...also use something like phm task to see if there are any hidden tasks running related to it..also ensure your registry is cleared of it....If I were you I would make a HR my last resort....thats my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK.

Hi.
I'm trying to remove 2 hotfixes (owner information&mp3 for sound calls) that I installed on my Touch2.I later found out that my phone was manufactured for Middle East&Africa and I installed the hotfixes for Europe.I remove one of them(owner information) from Remove Programs but it says it can not remove everything.I looked out in the registry (registry->HKLM->Software->Apps) and there are still there.
Can you help me to remove them completely?Step by step ,please.
Thanks.
P.S.:Sorry,I think I had to put this thread in another section.
Look in your windows explorer under programms there propably some remains......
Also, you can try the SKTools.
You have multiple clean and uninstall options there.
