Can't reinstall QuickGPS

---

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.

Worked for me too soft reset n it installed thanks

slightly different problem

---

im using Medkid's ROM. with radio version Radio version - 1.65.24.36. this ROM doesnt have QuickGPS pre-installed, so i had to download the cab file and install, but this is what i get,

it seems to install, but when i try to run the program, i get an error message saying

"the file QuickGPS" 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 this file."

i have tried reinstalling, not worked. i even tried a QUICKGPS patch i found on the internet, which contained a quickgps.reg file and a quickgps.exe as well. DID NOT WORK EITHER>

any suggestions?

try this one out HTC QuickGPS 1_00_220821_00.cab

i know this is a little late but i had the problem now and i fixed it

here is what todo:
eventhough i uninstalled quickgps and the program was not in the program list, it was still running a process, so i used SKTools to 'kill' the process, after that i was able to reinstall QuickGPS...

Agree fully with the above. I flashed my TILT with a barebones HTC Rom ([url=http://www.winmo-experts.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=16][color=blue]bengalih's BRR-HTC-2.0 Lite ROM), and the device just FLIES compared to the out-of-the-box AT&T setup. The ROM developer included a separate file with all the removed apps available as .cabs, so I installed just what I wanted.
