As a result of having to re-install my OS (XP SP2), I have had to re-install
my programs to get the registry entries correct. When I try to install
ActiveSync from the HP disc (HP iPAQ rx1955), I get an error message saying
that the installation program cannot find "0\rapimgr.exe" (that's a zero).
At the end of the installation procedure, the splash screen for the disc
says that ActiveSync failed to install (possibly because of a lack of free
disc space)and recommends retrying. I can find rapimgr.exe in the ActiveSync
folder; it's there!! The Windows installation program reports 94 GB free
after the in-process installation.

When ActiveSync was still in the Add/Remove Program group, I clicked Remove.
In the System32 group, I have renamed rapi.dll to rapi.old. I would prefer
not to delete the ActiveSync folder as I would have to reinstall my add-on
programs, but I'm very open to suggestions.

Regards,
Richard

Sounds to me like your registry is corrupt, or you've decided to install
activesync to a folder other than the default one. There are many settings
for activesync in the registry, I do not believe you can simple install
activesync over itself again, and expect it to work as before. While it's
possible to take the cab files and manually install them on your PocketPC, I
think its wishful thinking to assume that activesync will find the cabs and
install them correctly after being reinstalled.
