Fixing Installer.app on iPod Touch 1.1.3

I just got my iPod Touch (or as some call it iTouch) back from my friend who was so nice and put the 1.1.3 Firmware on it, which I really like. What I didn’t like was that the installer no longer works or at least it only works sporadically. This seems to be a problem with some scripting bindings missing in the installer and therefore returning the infamous “Error in Script command 1: InstallApp” Message. It took me quite some time to find a fix for this and it’s working again so I decided to share it with all the people who ran into the same issues:
  1. Install BossTool to free up space. Just tell it to move the Fonts and Ringtones and you shoudl have enough free space for a lot more applications.
  2. Reinstall Installer.app. As I said the Installer.app is somehow corrupted while jailbreaking and needs to be re-installed:
  3. Open Installer.app
  4. Go to Uninstall
  5. Select Installer.app
  6. Choose Reinstall in the upper right corner
  7. Exit the Installer.app by pressing Home
  • Restart the iTouch or go back to Installer.app and kill it by holding the Home button until the Springboard comes back.
  • That’s it :D
  • After starting the Installer.app again you should be able to install all the applications that gave errors previously like MobileScrobbler, Funambol, iShare, …
