Hi guys.
I have just upgraded windows 10 to the creators edition.
During the upgrade, windows automatically and without my consent uninstalled an old version of Firebird that I use.
I tried to reinstall the program, but I get the message that I cannot install it anymore in this version of the windows.
I have checked my settings in: settings -> Applications -> Allow apps from everywhere to be installed.
Even with the option to allow apps from anywhere selected, I am still being blocked.
Please, how can I bypass this block and reinstall the program that I need?
Thank you.

I need to find a way to invoke the installer app on the G1 when downloading a third party app via OTA. I know its possible, I'm just still stuck in the Windows Mobile realm and haven't switched gears to Linux for awhile. Any thoughts?
If you're talking about installing via the web browser on the device, you need to serve up a specific mime type, i believe it is application/vnd.android.package-archive
I read somewhere on another forum that there's a setting that needs to be changed on the phone to allow non-market apps to install on the device. I'll see if I can find it.
Here's how
Download Web files and applications
Before you download any files or applications using the Browser, note the following:
• Before you can download Web applications, you must explicitly “allow” downloading from the Home > Settings screen:
1
Press HOME, then press MENU and select Settings.
2
Select Applications, then on the Application settings screen, select the Unknown sources check box.
• All items downloaded form the Web are stored on your SD card, so be sure you have a card installed in your phone before you download from the Browser. (Read more in “SD card slot” on page 11.)
• The Browser will only allow you to download items that are supported by an application installed on the phone.
I can't get any apk file to install if its on the SD. Is there anyway that the apk could call on the installer to run? Its a really big pain for me right now. I need to be able to offer a free app but for reasons I can't get into I need it to be installed from the device and not OTA.
I have seen that the new release of microsoft marketplace allows install onto the SD card (finally!) The next obvious question is how do i get this onto my leo? I have looked on the version i have installed but cant find an update option anywhere.
Thanks
when you sign in it usually asks to check for newer versions
it should update automatically when you start it up, the option to choose where it installs is in the settings, at the top it should allow you to select the default install location
for me, it wasn't auto updating, so I uninstalled marketplace from programs, then clicked the shortcut in Start Menu and it downloaded the new version.
Thanks, i had to remove and then use the shortcut to reinstall.
- - - Seeking the equivalent of Sashimi and SKTracker - - -
Hi,
I installed Froyo Sense 2.2 on my HD2 for the first time yesterday and expect I will be playing around with different builds for a long time until I find 'perfection'.
As a serial WinMo ROM addict, I used to use Sahsimi to back up and re-apply all of my application installs, customisations, skinning, license key input, WiFi and webmail settings etc.. etc.. . So literally after installing a ROM, I can have all of my apps and customisations re-applied within minutes...
But is there an equivalent for Android out there ?
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
- Where does Android store installs ?
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538513). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
Any advice would be appreciated.
- Is my google tie in aware of my installed applications and will it auto-install them again ?
-- Generally yes, every new build I've used recently (last 3 or 4 weeks or so, never checked before) will automatically try and redownload from the market whatever you had before.
- Where does Android store installs ?
-- Not 100% sure I understand but all Android data (sms, apps/games/saves etc) are stored in your /Android/data.img on the SD card.
- Can purchased installs be re-applied without any DRM restrictions ?
-- Theoretically yes, cannot guarantee 100% but it's tied to your google account so in theory it's a yes.
- Is there an equivalent of Sashimi (http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260). I know on WinMo there are quite a few apps that let you re-installs Cabs, registry edits and XML's
-- Your best bet for that will be Titanium backup. Looks complex once you first open it, but read the wiki (google will help you there) and you'll realise it's actually very simple.
- Are there any application watcher tools that will allow me to find out where applications specific customisations are installed ? The equivalent I'm using on WinMo are SKTracker and MobileMon
-- Not entirely sure on that one afraid, it's not something I've really looked into.
Thanks for the details. I'll look up Titanium Backup.
One thing I have noticed, upon installing a Marketplace App if I clicking onSettings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> [select the application]
... then there is the option of 'Move to SD Card'.
To me this suggests that all Marketplace installs default to the phone's internal memory.... correct me if I'm wrong.
But I'm not sure if this is the installer for the app or the application itself.
Ideally, I would like to have the installer on my SD card and application installed to the destination of my choice.
One thing I've noticed is that the Market downloads installers to \sdcard\download. They're not named with the original filename, but there's a manifest xml file inside where you can see what file it was.
This way, you can keep backups of all your installers from the Market.
Just copy the ones you want into the AndroidApps folder of the new build and it will automatically install them for you.
This should help make the process a little smoother
My omnia 7 is updated to the latest version of the OS (8107) but I recently found the firmware of the phone is JK1. That makes the new root tools 0.9 unusable with the phone.... I want to know if I can manually update my Omnia7's Firmware without wiping the phone... I have lots of important data on my phone such as SMSs... Anyone?
Try the CAB sender (sreach for it)
Also, make sure you have the official cabs, not the custom one(I assume you run stock rom).
How to Restore all your Apps on Windows Mobile
Maybe you should take a look on following apps :
- SMSBackup
- MultiXapInstall.exe
- Reinstaller (App from Marketplace)
- Skydrive (App from Marketplace)
If you learn to use this tools it can be so easy to reinstall ALL your apps.
email accounts, facebook account logins should better be entered manualy
if there is better way please let me know
I updated my S8 to Oreo and I love it, however apps like Advance Download Manager or Amazon when trying to install apps it request that I allow install from unknown sources, it prompts the toggle but it's grey and will not let me switch it on.
Any way to force allow this? There is no longer an option to allow unknown installs in settings.
I have the same problem only a few apps show as accessible. But the ones I want to change are greyed out. Any resolution?
Go to Settings-Apps- click on the 3 dots menu-> special access-> Install unknown apps. Guess this should work
