v4.1 rollback to v3.8 -was: Problem...but found solution

I didn't realize until after I'd installed v 4.1 that it wasn't compatible with my PPC.

I have an X30 mid which of course doesn't have WM5.0.

However, once I tried to uninstall it and reinstall 3.7 or 3.8 (I was trying everything I could), the PPC would 'connect' with activesync, as evidenced by the icon in the taskbar turning green and a balloon popping up on mouseover saying 'connected'; but I couldn't get the activesync interface to open.

I tried soft reset and hard reset. Of course, I searched for the answer high and low, with no luck at all. Some solutions I found through search were that my TCPIP ?stack? or something was corrupted. There's some sort of "netsh int reset resetlog.txt" command I tried, which fortunately didn't hurt anything.

So, the solution that finally worked for me was contained in the C:\Program files\Microsoft Activesync folder in the "wcesetup.log" file.

I won't paste everything in the file, but the actual root of the problem...

Essentially, 3.8 wouldn't overwrite the 4.1 files.

My solution was that I had to go into those directories and rename all of those files.

Once I did that, I reinstalled 3.8, did a soft reset on my PPC and everything all a-ok now.

edit: One thing that's important to add. Most of those files listed above remain on the hard drive even following uninstall through add/delete.

I had the same problem. Thanks for posting your solution it will help others. There's also another thread that has instructions on how to roll back to 3.8.

Aw man, I'm sorry. I seriously looked on this site, but didn't find anything. I imagine that if I looked now, it would probably pop right out at me.
