[solved] Why do certain Application not install on Storage Card?

[gr8]

i had a problem with available storage being very low.

i installed all applications to the storage card. but now, checking because of the low storage, i see that
- acrobate reader
- google maps
do install on the device. but i choose to install to the storage card...

why is this and what can i do against it?

Google maps cache is stored in your main memory, clear it

@karhoe, thanks for your reply

there is an application called MobileAppMover (http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm) which allows to change all registry entries of a certain application to be changed to another path.

so if you want google maps or adobe reader to be installed on the storage card and free some mb of device storage, follow this procedure:

install application to device
use MobileAppMover to change path (e.g. from \Program Files to \Storage Card\Program Files)
move directory \Program Files\your application to \Storage Card\Program Files\ using Total Commander
edit the *.lnk file in the \Windows\Start Menu with Total Commander
done

it worked for me with google maps (only the cache stays on the device, this can be cleared using google maps options) and adobe reader!

now my device rocks again with over 6mb available storage, before it was less than 1mb!

btw: there used to be tools linke cabinstl and cab installer, but since wm5 the don't work anymore!
