VISTA BUILD 5600 WITH WMDC

hello!
i just installed a fresh new copy of Windows Vista x86 Build 5600 and I've realized that Windows Mobile Device Center isn't installed.
I've searched and at Microsoft I've downloaded a file: drvupdate-x86.msi which appears on Control Panel as Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update!
Well, It's not the program, is it??? I instalde Driver Update but I don't seem to install the Program at all!
I've searched on XDA and I've found some tips, which I've tried with no result!
Add Key to registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft named WHOS. it's supposed when I plug USB cable to PC and Universal, appear on Windows upgrade saying there is a new upgrade available. Doesnt appear!
I've seen a topic saying:
"...Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...bc9 4587a.exe
2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"
3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.
4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)"
Downloaded the file and done all right but I dont seam to make it work!
I've ONCE installed WMDC with no errors but the device appeared "NOT CONNECTED".
Now, after a NEW fresh instalation, I cant even install WMDc!
Please help!
I would like to keep vista installed, but without sync there's no way!!!!

8525 sync with vista

Im having a big headache here, I have windows vista enterprise edition (the release version) and i downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center from microsoft. My problem is when ever I try to connect the device, windows installs HTC usb sync and after that I get another message saying I need to install drivers for a "unknown device" I went to device manager and sure enough somehow this "unknown device" is related to my phone, It askes to look for drivers and can not find any. Anyway, this is somehow creating a problem because I can not connect the phone with WMDC.
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Similar problems here with Vista Ultimte RTM. You can also watch here for some answers.

A couple weeks ago I tried to sync my Cingular 8525 but had no luck, Vista managed to find and install some HTC drivers, but I couldn't get active sync to work (mobile device center now in vista). But I could browse the files on the device. Then just today I went into device manager and manually told it to look for new drivers online, it did, found some, and installed them, then mobile device center started working and I could sync. Wahoo!

This just happened to me today after using wmdc on vista business for 2 months. now my device comes up as "uknow device" in the device manager and then a few seconds later I get a popup window telling me that my USB device is unknown.
Damn annoying. im trying to figure out what happened and if i cant, then ill reinstall windows vista. bloody M$ crap.

when Vista prompt u for installing the driver, you have to manually select the driver location! Select driver directory to the Windows directory... Then Vista will be able to locate and loaded the device driver... i tried it works...
good luck

it was working fine for 2 months so I assume the correct drivers were installed. nonetheless, i will try update the driver for "unknown device" if I can find the inf file in the windows directory.

i tried it,
it says that my "Unknown Device" in the USB controllers category has the latest drivers installed.
this is too funny.
not sure what went wrong here.
Ive also uninstalled wmdc and reinstalled it many times and still no luck.
hrrrmmmmm, i feel a format and image coming up soon.

OK, i have solved the problem.
who would have thought I had 2 faulty sync-charge cables. They worked on Sunday and stopped working on Monday.
I noticed this happened after I used WM5torage. This is strange.
Anyways, things are back to normal

I have been sync with Windows Vista Ultimate both USB and Bluetooth for weeks. Especially the Bluetooth works great both sync and install software!!

Driver Installation Problem

I previously had Touch Diamond and sync without any problem with my Laptop thru windows mobile device centre but i just received my new Touch Hd but when i connect it always search for DRIVERS and when it finishes i just cannot connect.It will give me a message that DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY but i cannot see my device when i open the Device Centre. I restart both the computer and the touch Hd without success. What do i do? I checked HTC website but NO drivers to download.

Have you tried Windows Update instead? Apparently you need to update Mobile Device Center (damn-american-sic) to get the Touch HD to work properly. I didn't have the problem due to downloading and installing the updated version in the first instance from scratch on plugging in Blackstone.

Thanks my friend but how do i do that? Pls send me a link.

um... what? You mention Mobile Device Center rather than Active Sync, therefore you must be using Windows Vista. Windows Update is part of windows. there is no link I can give you other than it's in your Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update.
I honestly don't know how you can be running Windows Vista and not know about Windows Update. Even if you have a pirated version of Windows, you should still know about it because you have to disable Windows Update to not get your system to lock up when it tries to authenticate itself on the update service automatically!
Open Windows Update, if you have an old version of Mobile Device Center, there will be an update there for you. If you already have this updated version then I don't know what's wrong for you.

I do understand. I have windows Vista (Genuine) and everybody knows of windows update and my system update daily.To be honest there is no particular update for WMDC atleast i cannot see any that's why i come to you people for help.

Applogies, my confusion was the way that your post sounded like you were asking for a link to Windows Update!
When you connect your blackstone, does it pop up with a message on the phone screen asking if you want to connect as ActiveSync, Disk Drive or Internet Sharing or does it do nothing? If it does nothing, there's a chance that it might have been accidentally set to automatically connect to one of the options other than ActiveSync, thus not showing the phone in Device Center
If this is the case, on your blackstone go to Settings (either Start -> settings or the settings tab of TouchFlo3D then "all settings" on the left soft-key at bottom left of screen) then Communications tab, then USB to PC and see if the bottom check-box is selected. Select the top most radial button (or confirm that it is selected) and try connecting to your laptop again.
If that doesn't work, go back to the USB to PC screen and make sure that the checkbox saying "clear this check box is ActiveSync does not recognise the device" is unchecked. (alternatively check the box if it was previously unchecked, just in case!)
If those don't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest!

HD2 sync with Win7 64bit and Outlook 2007

Hi,
my new Win7 premium home (64bit) PC can't connect with my HD2 (stock rom). Driver install always ends with a access denied. Outlook is 2007.
In the past I had no (only few) problems with XP(SP3) and Outlook 2003 and my hd2 and my X1.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole win mob sw several times.
What can I do - any ideas?
regards

Are you trying to connect with Activesync or disc drive?

I couldn't install active sync under win7. I had to install 'win mobile device manager 6.1' which ist ok but driver install always says 'access denied'.
The hole thing should last about 20 seconds but I'm working on it severel hours
Ideas would be wellcome.
Edit. My hd2 has settings 'active sync' with 'fast synchronisation off'. I hpe this is correct in english, my settings are german.

i'm usign Windows 7 Pro x64 with Office 2007.
No problems at all.
Do you have enough priviledge when you install drivers?
Did you download the correct driver package?

I'm logged in as admin and I loaded the package from MS (drvupdate-amd64.exe 12.749kB).
Edit: I found a 'trick' in another forum (search registry for 'KLFLTDEV' and delete this branch - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class UpperFilters in Portable Device) which didn't work for me.

Mine worked fine, but I'm not sure if I had to run as admin or not. Did you try the whole right click-run as admin option? Or in properties set the compatibility to something else? Otherwise, there may be a problem with your phone's software and a hard reset could fix that. With a good backup program, it doesn't suck as bad as it sounds. =p

Hi,
hard reset of my hd2 is not a problem.
I have a unknown device under portable devices and after driver update I get a 'driver found' and afterwards an 'access denied'.

after googling this turned up in microsoft forum about getting "access is denied" error when installing drivers:
This issue is caused by the monitor driver update fails to access following
files.
C:\Windows\inf\infpub.dat
C:\Windows\inf\infstor.dat
C:\Windows\inf\infstrng.dat
C:\Windows\inf\drvindex.dat
C:\Windows\inf\INFCACHE.1
Please follow these steps to set the permission of these files.
1. Negative to C:\Windows\inf\
2. Right click infpub.dat and choose properties.
3. Select Security tab, click Edit.
4. Click the current User Account name, check Full Control checkbox as Allow.
Note : If the current User Account name is not listed, please click “Add”,
following the “Enter the object name to select” title, type in the current
User Account name and then click Ok.
5. Click Apply, click OK.
Please repeat the above steps with infstor.dat, infstrng.dat, drvindex.dat
and INFCACHE.1.
After that trying to install the driver once again.

Hi,
I found the mentioned fiiles in \windows\system32\driverstore and did what you told me - but no success Access denied.
thanks

I also have Win 7, and Windows Mobile Device Center. I have had problems with Activesync before, but was due to "Enable faster data syncronization" being checked. However, I was always able to connect with the computer through "Disc Drive" option. This won't solve your problems entirely, but you can find out if your computer will recognize the phone at all.

Yes I did and I checked it too.
I tried all again and recogniced that after taking the ownership all is fine but a moment later the ownership disappears again. So how can I do this permanantly?
And yes I tried different USB boards.

THIS IS THE ANSWER
I had same issues and resolved it by using the MITTY without driver solution!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623356
It works - just follow all the instryctions and load all drivers they say!

but this isn't the solution I'm looking for because this is to much modification of my hd2. I just want to install mobile device center 6.1 to win7 64bit + driver.

I never had any issues getting Win7 pro 64 and Outlook 7 / 2010 syncing up.
I did change my windows setup a fair abit. If you are not full admin that could be it. Did you do a fresh windows install or upgrade an existing install to windows 7?
Taking control of folders can be problematic, even with a full install. I still have a few folders being annoying but most of them I got working.
There is a hidden full access admin account hidden on the computer, you might try enabling that and giving it a go. Or to see if it can bump your access levels up.
1. Click on “Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories“. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run As Administrator“. If you are prompted to enter password, enter the password and continue. You can also open Command Prompt in Administrator mode by typing “cmd” in Startmenu Search box and press “Ctrl+Shift+Enter“.
2. Now provide following command:
net user administrator /active:yes
3. Thats it. The Administrator account will be enabled. If you want to disable it again, simply replace "yes" with "no" in above command.

I saw your post about logging in as admin, but that one is even more admin so it might do something. Folder control is also a big deal with windows now so be sure you have control.
Did you sync your phone with older computers? I cant remember if this phone had issues with multiple PCs in its sync list or not, I only use two and thats what my old one would only allow.

It is a brand new PC and Win7 is a fresh install.

I did sync with my older PC with WinXP Sp3 and Outlook 2003. With active sync I had only minor problems. Maybe it would be the same with Win7 and Outlook 2007 - but I can't install the driver.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give them a try.
regards

Sorry,
but I can't get ownership of \windows\system32\driverstore. I guess it would be neccessary but I get always 'access denied' - even I'm logged in as administrator. Why I can't get ownership of this directories/files ?
Sh.t Win7

I'm have the same issue also with Device Center not recognizing my HD2. It will recognize the HD2 as a "Disk Drive" but not as "Active sync" I tried with/without the underbox checked.
I've tried all of my USB ports. I just tried the cmd: "net user administrator /active:yes", but I get "System error 5 has occurred. Access denied"
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate 64bit-Outlook 2007

Hi,
I did it.
Unfortunately I don't know exactly what I did. Something like get ownership of some Files in \windows\system32 (belonging to windows mobile) and getting ownership of some registry entries (belonging to windows mobile) - only black despair.
After restart I changed the usb port and - 30 seconds later sync was running
I'm happy now but can't tell you exactly what to do.

Naturally it matters, if it's not dev unlocked you can't do anything at all with WPDM. And yes as of yet I haven't seen anyone getting full file access on the Optimus 7, don't know if anyone is actually working on it either.
As for WP7 being a ****ty OS that stands for you, I won't even comment on that.
And the apps, I'd say there are even more useless apps floating around for Android, I chose not to download them neither for Android, nor WP7.

u are right, my mistake: OS is great, the best ever, but MS make it looks and feel so ****ty. All the restrictions and dictation, tutelage of the users make it so worthless, even for the developer.
A question: how many new devices are out in the past few months, to say so, last 5 months???????????????????
Compare the price, thats the best indicator on the market, 6 months ago my Optimus was 640.-CHF and today????
237.-CHF ist the last price, from today, on Toppreise.ch
Its a really great device, great hardware, speed, all is perfect....but the whole thing is useless, aside from calling and paying money on Marketplace for worthless, useless ****.
Thats my opinion.

Unlock optimus 7 cannot connect to wpdm
hi, I have a problem with Windows Phone Device manager. I have just bought a new Optimus 7 in June, I upgraded it to NODO, I unlock by MFG method, I installed SDK.
When I connect my phone to WPDM, it don't recognise my phone, it install TouchXperient on my phone but it cannot launch TouchXperient, although it says that my phone plugined via USB, but when I try to connect, synch, it notice that "unable to connect device". Zune connect normally.
I tried to open TouchXperient manually, and connect to WPDM but I tried in vain, nothing happened.
Can anybody help me? I am using Windows 7 Professional with MSE. Is there anything I need to install before use WPDM, pls list for me.

Run touch experience on your phone before you try to connect. It should connect then. It does for me.

Make sure all requirements are met first.
Requirements:
* Registered or unlocked Windows Phone 7 device
* Windows Vista or Windows 7 32/64-bit
* .NET Framework 4.0
* Windows Phone Developer Tools
Hints: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
You can initiate connection from both PC and device (tap PC Synchronization in TouchXperience to etablish connection from device). You can connect via USB or Wi-Fi, but the first time you have to connect via USB so WP Device Manager can deploy TouchXperience and your device can get your PC IP address.
In the current version you can't manually set the PC or phone IP address to connect, or change default ports.
Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
When WP Device Manager initiate a connection and can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
Some tasks requires your phone screen to be unlocked
It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
If WP Device Manager does not start at all, make sure you installed all the requirements and try to reinstall full .NET Framework 4.0 and developer tools.
If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and eventually restart your PC.
If you get a message "TouchXperience version 1.2.3.0 or later is required" it means Device Manager is not able to communicate with TouchXperience, to solve the problem, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC. Try to temporarly disable your anti-virus or firewall programs to see if that's the problem. If nothing helps, download and open WPDeviceManagerFix.reg in attachment bellow and restart your PC
If you have connection problems, try the following may help: unplug/replug your phone, close or start Zune, restart WP Device Manager, make sure your device is detected by Zune, in worst case restart your PC.
WP Device Manager or some components of it may be considered as potential threat by anti-virus or firewall programs, this is a false alarm, you may need to add exceptions to your anti-virus or firewall may prevent WP Device Manager from working correctly.
WP Device Manger is automatically disconnected when you quit TouchXperience (for example when you launch an app or return to Start screen). This is not a bug, this is because TouchXperience is stopped due to the lack of native multitasking in WP7. To workaround you can enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings.
Tap on a menu title in TouchXperience and the main menu will show up
If you want to take screenshots of an other application on the phone you need to enable multitasking in TouchXperience settings
You can only access \Windows and \My Documents on non-HTC devices and some folders may appears empty. This is because only HTC devices have full file system access at the moment.
Applications installed with other tools than WP Device Manager are not recognized (they are identified by their id) on non-HTC device, for the same reasons than above. To solve the problem you can simply browse your original xap files, application info will be automatically cached and diplayed in the app manager.
Some application versions are incorrect. This is due to the fact that some developers does not update their application manifest with correct version number when they release new versions. To fix the problem you can check for app updates and click on Dismiss All assuming all your applicatons have been updated to their latest version.
You can't copy most of DLL and EXE in \Windows directory, this is simply because these are not files but modules.
You can check TouchXperience version in Settings or in WP Device Manager application list.
You should have a folder with device name in My Documents on your PC, place here the files you want to sync with the phone.
You can send toast notifications from any program on your PC using command line C:\Windows\WPDeviceManager\WPDeviceManager.exe /SendToast "message".
In order to use WP Device Manager from Windows Device Stage, you must have Windows 7 and driver signature verification disabled, unfortunately this is because Windows 7 recognize only digitally signed drivers.
