Program Removal

How do you remove a program from a windows mobile 6 device that was not installed with a .cab file?
I installed iContact v0.2 and recently upgraded to a newer version. I can't seem to get rid of the old version being that it does not show in the list of programs to uninstall.

have you tried using a file explorer and manually deleting the file and it's folder from your phone?

Yes, I have. That's why I'm so confused.

You can just tap and hold on it in File Explorer and tap "Copy" then in File Explorer go to My Device --> Windows --> Start Menu --> Programs and paste it in there.

the exe file has to be installed through activesync.

Not necessarily. Sometimes an app is downloaded as an EXE and you run it on your PC and it installs via ActiveSync. But sometimes you download an EXE and it is supposed to run on the phone.

If you use the file explorer to make a shortcut to the exe rather than copying the exe, you don't have to copy any dependencies across.

I tried this first before posting this topic, and after reading some instructions, learnt that the only way to get it to appear in the Programs list is to install it via Activesync.
note: i recall that some one was able to extract the cab file (from exe files needing to be installed via activesync) from the installation so that future installs can be achieved without activesync.

T-Mobile MDA Compact IV and Cab files

Hi I am new to this and need some advice.
For 3 days I have tried to install the TF3D config file on my T-Mob MDA Compact IV
ROM Version 1.37.110.3 dated from June 2008
I have saved the config tool to my PC.
I copy the folder that contains several files.
I open active sync and browse to a desired destination and paste the folder.
On the phone I browse via the explorer to the pasted folder
I see the one called setup and try to install this and it keeps launchng the web n walk opera browser.
Is that right? Do I need to do something else?
It doesnt seem to install the config tool.
I have tried opening the files ending in 001 002, 003 etc and removing or adding back the tweak.
I have even updated to framework 3.5
Is there something I am missing? I've read pages and pages on the internet, watched vids from you tube and I cant get why its not happening for me.
I have tried installing in to the root, on the internal store, in windows and that makes no difference
I then tried copying flashplayer for ppc and though none of those files are associated to the opera browser, I cant run them either as the phone thinks they are unassociated files. It doesn't see them as a cab.
All I want to do is install a theme for touchflow.
However msi installs work fine.
Has T-mobile locked down the ability to install cab files?
Please help I am out of ideas

ahhhhhhh haaaaaa
OK I found the problem
I unzipped the file on my PC and cpoied the unzipped files over.
That was totally wrong I see now.
I should have copied the zipped file on to the PPC and opened it on the device
Thanks

Missing windows explorer

I lost my old fuze when traveling overseas, and just got a replacement.
I updated the software ROM to the current HTC release 5/9/09
Now windows file explorer is not in the program files menu under start?
I cant even get to my storage card to install .cab files?
Any suggestions?

I would install total commander from the computer as an exe file which use activesync to install the cab file then I would go the
\windows\start bar\programs and make a shortcut to exeplore which should be located in
\windows

I have always opened cabs directly on my phone from my SD card, without exploder I feel helpless? I am not seeing how to get win device center to install the .cab file

i got it installed.. thanks

Can't launch .cab files

Hi, I've tried to install numerous .cab files on my HTC touch diamond but they all fail to start up. When I click on the cab file in the File Explorer it nothing happens and I get no error messages. I've only installed one app successfully some time ago and it was the first app I ever installed on this phone (Landscape utility for the phone). I got this phone a week ago and has the ROM version 1.10.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It’s most likely that you’ve installed a program at some stage which has ‘hijacked’ the association for CAB files, and not restored it when the program was uninstalled. All you need to do is restore the default file association, and you’ll be able to open them again.
* Using Windows Explorer (or My Computer) choose ‘Folder Options’ from the View menu.
* Locate Cabinet in the registered file types list, select it, and click on ‘Edit’.
* Select ‘Open’ then click on ‘Edit’ again.
* Locate the box titled ‘Application used to perform action’. Enter the following
Explorer.exe /root,{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262},%1
* Click on ‘OK’ to close all the dialogues, and you should be able to open your Cabinet files as before.
