I uninstalled QuickGPS (stupid move, in retrospect) and now want to reinstall it. I downloaded the HTC_QuickGPS cab from Dutty's site but get this error message when I try to install it: Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.

I am not a developer or a techie. I searched this forum for 'reinstall QuickGPS' but didn't find anything.

I'm also thinking of doing a hard reset and not loading the AT&T bloatware but there are a few programs from it (especially GetMail_at_t) that I want and am wondering if I'll get the same error message.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you soft reset? I get that message when another program is still in memory (Comm Manager, etc.). Additionally, I HIGHLY recommend hard resetting and not letting the bloatware install. Just did that for my buddy's tilt and he saw a HUGE performance gain. Anything you like from the bloatware is available on this forum as a cab. I understand not being comfortable voiding the warranty by ROM flashing (although that makes a far bigger/better difference). However, the bloatware sucks pretty bad. Plus, then you're sure QuickGPS is installed correctly, etc. I will say, he had a data issue after the hard reset. If you do it and have trouble with your data, assure your ISP settings are correct.

Just FYI: Sucks when no one post their results.

I was having the same problem and the soft reset worked. Thanks Guilf.
