Find the cab. then delete the cab if it's on the phone or remove off your card if it's on the card.
If all else fails install memory maid or similar and clean your memory.

I have searched and can't find the cab. Not sure about memory maid, Is there a free program to take care of this?

Try this uninstaller program it might help find it and get rid of it:http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/dow...installer.html

Uninstaller didn't show the program only 17 programs, most of my programs didn't show up in the uninstaller. Would there be something in the reg that is calling the installer cab?

Try this one:

Also SKTools has a clean feature capable of fixing that, unfortunally is not free.

First, check in Windows/Startup and se if there is something left in there.Then I recommend you get memmaid(free trial) and use it to show running processes and stop the process that is running that keeps trying to install . If you can, remember the specific name of the file/program/error that keeps coming up.There may be a left over entry in the registry that could be causing this. I recommend Phm Regeditor. You can use the find/search function to search for the name of the app/file that keeps trying to run and remove that string from the registry.Good Luck!!
