Opera Error While Clicking On Links in Pocket Outlook

[agovinoveritas]

So I installed Opera.

Then when I get an email with a link on it and I click on it I get the following error:

OperaLauch.exe
The file 'OperaLaunch' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file.

A quick look at the Opera folder shows no file under that name. So out of curiosity I went and did a search on the web. Found only two sites talking about this but they are both in Russian. Great.

So obviously the line in the registry that points towards opening links is pointing to this program. I did a quick search and found a number of registry entries that would normally point to PIE but are not pointing to Opera.

Now I was wondering who here knows the registry entry to open items in Pocket Outlook so it uses PIE. Or even better how to make it work so it opens Opera as the default browser when clicking on items in Pocket Outlook.

Now, don't say to do a hard reset as I won't do it on principle alone, since I am sure someone knows and I am not going to reinstall everything I go just because one line in the registry!

Anyone? Or even so, anyone who had this same issue?

I have had this same problem and the only remedy was to uninstall, I posted this before and no one had any ideas as far as I could tell.

there is similar problem with netfront. U need to set pie as ur default browser, then link will be opened w/o probs in PIE.

btw: opera launch is or should be located in windows folder. try 2 search for file within ur pda

Thanks. But what you have told me I already posted on my original post.

I did a search already with the wildcard word "opera," and nothing called Opera Launcher came up. Then I checked the obvious Opera folder and nothing was there either. Hence why I know the issue could be fixed within the registry. That is what I was asking.

You can't set IE as your default browser because as I am sure you already know, there is no option within PIE to set it back to the default browser.

If I did a search on google I am found the registry entries to change back to PIE but there are a number of registry entries. So it could be fixed without a hard reset. But I wanted to see if anyone had figured out a way to use Opera as the Tab browsing is so much more useful and it is just better.

[agovinoveritas]

I have not found a fix for Opera, but as an alternative to having to do a hard-reset and reinstall everything again which is of course a hassle... I found the registry entries to switch back IE as the default.

Beats doing a hard-reset.

Anybody figured out the Opera problem?

[agovinoveritas]

Okay, after an in depth search I found the entry regarding OperaLauncher.

There is a stupid key at,
HKEY_local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:D efBROWSER

Now I do not know the format to tell it to perhaps use Opera.exe.

Anyone can help?

[agovinoveritas]

Bump?.......

[lanwarrior]

Shot, I didnt see this thread until I posted another one that is similar.

But yes, I am interested with finding this too..

[agovinoveritas]

Okay, I can see that NO ONE even tried to fix the issue. So I decided to do it myself. I mean, it is not the ultimate fix since I would like for Opera to open as default.

Logic dictates that Opera screwed up somewhere, so what I did was setup PIE to be the default browser by deleting and replacement two specific registry entries.

After that, PIE will still be the main browser when opening links in Outlook, and for everything else I can still use Opera. Since having to copy paste links from Outlook to IE or Opera was annoying enough to delete the browser altogether.

Cheers,

Which key is that?

[agovinoveritas]

Check the entry posted on my first post. Delete the Opera entries.

Take a look, type exactly as posted on value 0 and 1 an PIE will start and avoid that silly OperaLauncher problem.

Value 0
Pocket IE

Value 1
:MSPIE

Value 2
Don't change

Value 3
Don't change.

Thanks, I was able to this no problems at all and it fixed the issue - at least by defaulting back to PIE without the error.

Hope I read this correctly and following is useful.....

To enable Opera to open links from emails in Pocket Outlook I did the following:

1. Copied 'opera.exe' (not the large dll) from \storage card\progam files\opera to \windows.

2. Found the entry 'operalaunch.exe' in the registry and changed it to 'opera.exe'.

Thats it - Opera launches when clicking hyperlinks in Pocket Outlook.

You only need to make one change:

In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER is a key called "1". Change the string value from "OperaLaunch.exe" to "\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" (or whereever Opera is actually installed). You need to include the quotes around the string. Save and restart your device. Should work (did for me).

I had the same problems after uninstalling Opera.
Error message: OperaLaunch cannot open , blabla

I had to change the following registrykeys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\wsp\Shell\Open\Command
String Value (Default) = iexplorer.exe %1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\ EFBROWSER
String Value 0 = Pocket IE
String Value 1 = :MSPIE


Good Luck

I managed it just.

I copied all the files from the Opera folder to the windows filder, then changed this,

In HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\: DEFBROWSER is a key called "1". Change the string value from "OperaLaunch.exe" to "\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" (or whereever Opera is actually installed). You need to include the quotes around the string. Save and restart your device. Should work (did for me).

To just opera.exe

And it worked ... It wouldnt work before, when trying to point it to the storage card, it kept saying "Storage cannot be loaded" or something ... I just realised i had forgot the " from the beginning and end of the string :)

hi my friend ,I am having the exact same problem you've had.The only problem being is that I am a novice and know nothing about computers,in other words I am not computer literate so am finding it difficult to understand.Is it possible to help me through it in easy steps if you have the time.Regards Anthony
