AIM 2/ PPC2002 - "Not valid to run on this device ?&quo

[spence]

Hi all,

I just tried to load the new AIM for PPC2002 on my SER 1.2 XDA and it installed fine, but when trying to run it - it said it was not valid to run on the device..

Has anyone else seen this ??

Yes. In fact, I saw it on the new 4.00.16 T-Mobile ROM. It has the program installed (in 'Program Files' even), but it doesn't work giving the same message, and there's no link to it in 'Programs' either.

Keep in mind this is a US T-Mo software upgrade. The version of AIM that comes with it is for US T-Mo only. It checks your SIM card ID and if you are on any other network other than US T-Mo it will not run. You can do a search online to get the Old AIM client for PPC or you can buy the new one they both work since they are not specific to T-Mo version. I don't know why this is other than this software is avail for download off their website and anyone could get it for free since AOL has now decided to sell it and released a newer full client that also deos AOL Mail.

Hmm another thought is since its in ROM you might be able to overwrite all the .dlls in the \windows\ dir with the .dlls that are in the older version or maybe overwritting the listed files that are diff between 40011 & 40016 with blank text files with same name and changed file ext. This would however require you to remove the T-mo apps from start up incase it looks for any of these files durring start up. There's always a way unless devices stop thinking in x&o/1&0's.

Easy path just find th eold one it's online some where.
