Hi,

I want to give MicroB a go but whenever it gets to the end of installing it (the bar's over 3/4 of the way through in application manager), it says it failed to install.

MicroB appears in my installed apps list but application manager says it's broken but with no hints as to why.

I've tried both repository and install file methods of install with no success apart from screwing up the add bookmark button in the traditional browser.

Any ideas?

Almost forgot...what can I do to provide more information?

Please check to see if you have enough Memory space available on your Nokia 770, to install MicroB. It is a possibility that MicroB downloads 3/4ths and dies because of the lack of enough memory space for it to be downloaded competely.

Sorry to push this back to you but how much memory is it supposed to need?

I think I've got plenty free...

I am not entirely sure about the exact internal Memory space required for MicroB to install properly. I think that you have to have enough memory ( I always have more than 15 Mb free) the right repositories and be on the Internet (using the Nokia 770 with latest official Nokia build - not the HE verision).

Then you have to download the right MicroB browser. Once this is downloaded completely you should be able to use the Nokia 770 ' Application Manager ' to install it. Good Luck ! !

Check this too.

You need to add the following repository to Application Manager (if you have not done so already and yes you have to type this).

Web Address: http://respository.maemo.org/extras/

Distribution: Gregale

components: free

Update Application Manager.

Thanks for the reply but I've definitely got space and a normal N770 os but still have errors. Here's my install log. Any ideas what's up with it?
