Cant uninstall any programs ??

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

skype and pocketSnes won't launch on o2 exec?

So I just installed skype yesterday, and it ran fine, somehow today when I try to run it, the window busy logo pops up but than it never launches! I tried uninstall than reinstall to my device, than the SD card, but still no luck.... I click on the icon and it just won't launch, I check all my running apps, it's not listed in there......
same thing with my pocketSnes, it will launch fine, but when I try to load any ROM, it will just disappear.
I have 23mb free on my o2 exec and they are all on my device instead of my SD....
can anyone please help or give any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

skype needs lots of rom to run
shut down everything else, if necessary, do a soft reset.

[Q]I Need Help I Keep Getting Uninstall Errors

Hi,
There are apps that I can't uninstall: I run parameter/system/remove programs and I get an error like "This app could not be completly removed. Do you want to remove it from the installed program?"
I hit Yes, but still it does not remove it from the list.
Any idea?

I have the same problem.

please anyone got a answer

i faced the same problem as well..
please anyone give solution...

Sometimes this happens when two or more cab files share the same files and one has already been uninstalled. Try reinstalling the application you are trying to uninstall, and once installed, try to uninstall again.

Blacberry software removal

Hi, I made the mistake of installing the blacberry software.
It does not work, and all my IT staff are stumped.
I tried to uninstall it, but it refuses to uninstall, very frustrating.
Does anyone have any ideas? I uninstalled some of the software manually, but there are 4 programs still there that refuse to 'leave' and the icons in the settings pages are still there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Try SKTools or MemMaid.
Both of these can force uninstall and both come in free trial versions

Can't uninstall app

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.
