Q: The MLO-PocketPC application fails to uninstall telling some files are in use. Soft reset does not resolve the issue. What do I do to uninstall the application from PDA?
A: This is a known issue with some Windows Mobile 2005 devices. When you choose to remove the application, operating system performs a check to see whether or not the application is running. This functionality has a built-in bug which leads to infinite "reset-uninstall" loop. A custom uninstall utility has been implemented in order to overcome the issue. Please use it to completely remove the MLO PPC from your PDA.

2. Copy the downloaded file to the PDA
3. Uncradle the device
4. Close MLO application on the PDA
5. Launch MLO-PPC-Uninstall.exe
6. Perform a soft reset if the application suggests so and launch the uninstall utility again
7. Delete MLO-PPC-Uninstall.exe file from PDA
