Seems to be the issue described in the FAQ: http://www.fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?p=16648#16648

Please run the windows installer cleanup utility

Thank you for the reply FJ, but I have installed the clean up utility but I couldnt find MPE among the list....

Plus, when I start MPE I dont get a message to install a program, I only get the startup screen with "Loading Interface" and nothing happens..

Thank you

Rayan

MyPhoneExplorer does not use the Windows Installer. When MyPhoneExplorer loads some librarys the Windows Installer hangs in and thinks there is something to do - its a bug in the Windows Installer - it has directly nothing to do with the Installation of MyPhoneExplorer. You can also try to fix your registry with RegSeeker or you coulddisable the Windows Installer-Service for testing.

well FJ unfortunately the windows installer service was shutdown from the whole beginning and MPE was not working.

i have also tried to install versions 1.3.3 and 1.4.5 but still the same.

I hate VISTA!!

To check the installer-problem it could also help if you take a look at the Taskmanager. If another process gets started except MyPhoneExplorer.exe when starting then it has something to do with Installer-Bug.


To be sure that it was not a worst Installation and that its not an Access-Rights-Problem of Vista you can try this:

- uninstall MyPhoneExplorer
- create a new Admin-Useraccount
- disable UAC (User account control)
- disable DEP (Data Execution Prevention)
- disable your Virus-Scanner (dont forget to disconnect the PC from Web before)
- log in into the new Admin-Account
- run the Setup of MyPhoneExplorer via rightclick->Run as Administartor

Maybe this procedure works. If MPE is installed and can be started then you can switch back to your old profile and enable the disabled features.

Thank you so much FJ for the support...

I think the problem was from "run as Admin" option. I have tried it again on my account and it is working fine..

Thank you man :)

Non Admin?

I'm using Vista
I normally use a RegularUser account, and there is where I want to use MyPhoneExplorer. I don't mind having to enter Admin credentials to launch it.

When opening MPE explorer from the RegularUser desktop, the "loading interface" splash screen does not go away. If I do it as RegularUser, the splash screen is in German. If I do it as Admin, the splash screen is in English. But they never go away.

Thank in advance for any input

Is there a errormessage behind the splash-screen ?

Ah! That was hard to notice and still harder to read!

This message comes not from MyPhoneExplorer - depending the text i think it comes from a debugger in background or from another program.

Did MyPhoneExplorer work in the past or did you got the problem directly after installing MPE the first time ?

Fresh install; never worked in the regular user's desktop
It does work in an administrator's desktop

I think it has to do with this FAQ. The messagetext itself never appears in MyPhoneExplorer cause the message comes from a JIT-Compiler like used from the .NET-Applications. I think the Windows-Setup calls another executable before MPE loads and throught this the error appears.

PCSuite fixed it

After installing the PC Suite, MyPhoneExplorer started to work fine with my non admin user. Go figure...
