well, that's all a great idea and it's what i do with all my other programs. the problem here is that live mesh doesn't allow installation to the storage card. i'm thinking i'm gonna have to try hard resetting then taking a snapshot of the registry before and after installation and configuration of live mesh, then compare the snapshots and save important stuff to an xml for provisioning. hopefully that will configure my phone to use the same guid (assuming live mesh uses those or some similar identifying value) across hard resets and i won't have to keep uploading all my shtuff.
