Pocket PC Forum / End Users / ActiveSync / January 2007Vista and WMDC
I know this has been discussed many times before in here but I can't really see many discussions about the final release of Vista and how to actually get WMDC working WITHOUT installing the Beta 3 that's available. I have Windows Vista Business. I can connect my mobile, it's recognised but only as a media device (ie. in the Sync Centre you can only sync it with Windows Media Player). The WMDC that is available just now only allows me to select the type of connection to allow (ie. USB or Bluetooth). I know that once you connect your device and it's recognised Vista should then download WMDC at the next Windows Update, however every time I do a manual Windows Update no updates are available (my computer is up to date). Short of installing the Beta 3 is there any way to get my hands on WMDC. I have to put my hand up here and shout a little to say that I actually think it's ridiculous that this type of update is only available through Windows Update and not through any other download. Nothing is perfect and Windows Update is far from perfect so restricting access to these type of essential features (bear in mind this isn't a patch or update) is a bit rich. Anybody have the WMDC Windows update still on their PC that they can make available to us? Does nobody actually have a reply for this? A resource? A website? Anything? Hi, I have just installed vista business and noticed on my pda running mobile 5 that the same happens?? > Does nobody actually have a reply for this? A resource? A website? > Anything?

Once it comes out of beta (I hope very soon, as I'd prefer not to put beta code on this new, clean machine at present) it will become available through Windows Update. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx "The Windows Mobile Device Center Beta is currently only available as a standalone installer via www.microsoft.com. Future versions will be also distributed through Windows Update." Thanks David Hi David, All of that is only applicable to RC1 though - part of the problem is nobody (from MS) is saying whether it actually still applies or not. Some poeple can get teh downloads through Windows Update and some cannot so it does actually work. I am running Vista Business, I assume N, as it's the European version but this isn't expected behaviour for that version as far as I'm aware. You don't by any chance run Bussiness N? In which case this is more or less expected behavior :-( >I know this has been discussed many times before in here but I can't > really see many discussions about the final release of Vista and how to [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > update) is a bit rich. Anybody have the WMDC Windows update still on > their PC that they can make available to us? Hi David, I have an update on the Vista Business. It's not the N version (as far as I'm aware) and I don't see how the N version would affect WMDC ... Ok I'm apparently seeing some of these issues as well. Any suggestions are welcome. Clean Vista Ultimate Install, followed by Office 07. One driver update for sound on a Dell E1705. New Samsung Blackjack that I began sync with this laptop a few days ago under XP Pro and had no issues. Checked around and found out that in order to sync with Vista I need Windows Mobile Device Center. So I download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx and attempt installation. It acts if it is going to install then just quits out with no error message or anything. No application installed. Just stops. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Hydrox >I know this has been discussed many times before in here but I can't > really see many discussions about the final release of Vista and how to [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > update) is a bit rich.
