Marketplace for Windows Mobile still installs to device memory?

---

Pro2 on wm6.1 factory WWE/Asian ROM

I have the latest Marketplace installed but it still installs to device memory despite settings set to storage card. I have tried a few apps and none installed to the card - only one prompted an error saying it could not install to the card: Microsoft My Phone.

Anyone experiencing the same issue? Thx

On the latest Marketplace I installed, you can go into the menu under "settings" and set the default download location to "/Storage Card". Tried a couple downloads and it works for me.

Note that it won't give you the option where to download when you select a cab, it just defaults to that location.

Just curious, which downloads have you tried?

I have downloaded the following from WM, directly to storage card:

• Aloqa (but I disabled this after it kept freezing up my TP2)
• IMDB
• All Mobile Mines

Good luck.

Are you sure you have the latest version? I kept getting a message that I did have the latest version but had no option to install on storage card. I deleted market place with remove programs funtion and then went and reinstalled it. I then got the newest version which has the options to where you install stuff.

I couldn't find IMDB on the list, but I upgraded my All Mobile Mines from Marketplace and it installed to storage card. Looks like some apps only install to device memory - the lack of any prompting or notice is kinda annoying.

You didn't pay attention

Mesquire,

You are correct and I was mistaken -- I apparently downloaded IMDB from elsewhere. I forgot the name of the 3rd app that I downloaded from WM to storage card.

I am glad you were able to download at least some apps to storage card. It is weird that some apps download correctly (to storage card) and some don't. I doubt that WM is advanced enough to disable storage-card-downloads on those apps which need to be installed to main memory, so I guess we'll just have to live with this glitch. Again, good luck.
