Uninstall was not successful. I cannot remove the app HELP!
 
I installed flash lite and was not able to find it in "open with" so I had to install a different version of flash lite that was moded so it would install in the correct directory.

The first version of flash light I cannot uninstall.

Luckily the second acts as a totally different program so it doesn't ask me to replace. But it is still bothering me that the first is int the programs list.

Anything?

you can goto /windows/start menu and remove it that way.... you can comb the REG for any REG left behind.... otherwise its a Hard Reset.... your choice

and FYI, it wouldve been BETTER if it HAD asked to replace, then youd be able to uninstall both at the same time.. then only re-install the working one... btw "Flash Lite" or "Flashlight"?? Flash Lite is junk! just use UZard or Skyfire(when it works) browsers if you need to use Flash

Yeah I used SKTools to remove the REG, however it still appears in the remove applictions list on the phone type... (not in sk tools).

I uninstalled the 2nd one too but it still appeared in the uninstall apps in the settings as well, however I was able to remove that one successfully (Even though it was already removed with sk tools, it just appeared there.. and didn't ask me to remove just from list but rather the whole thing. (But it was already removed)).

No Flash Lite is to run specific files like games. Not based on browser lol.
Skyfire is long dead for winmo.

I tried replacing the same one, but it said install unsuccessful so I guess not.
Anyway I removed REG keys using SKTOOLS uninstall programs thing. Still appears in the windows settings uninstall programs list though and can not remove it.

Tried uninstalling the second one with SK tools and uninstalled completely, but still appeared in the settings programs list. So to remove it I click remove there and the 2nd one uninstalled successfully without asking to even remove from the list, it uninstalled like it was installed even though it wasn't.

When you installed that first version did it ask you where to install(device or storage card)? If so try this.. find the cab you used to install the first version and tap on it as if you were going to reinstall. It should then say "the previous version of "..." will be removed b4 the new one is installed." click ok and then hit cancel when the install screen appears.

So did you get it removed or not?

Nope I did a hard reset. But thanks for the suggestions.
