Works better than mine!

If you installed RC1 from fresh, and not updated beta 2, then WMDC is not installed, has not yet been released as there are bugs, see this page for details.

It IS possible to sync wm5 devices with Windows Vista as describes in http://desigeek.com/weblog/amit/archive/2006/09/19/Syncing-your-mobile-with-Vista-RC1-with-WMDC.aspx (it works for me).
BUT! Did anybody have successfull tries to update ROM from Vista? I can't do it by standart way, can't do it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (got 'ERROR 150 ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR'), can't do it with mtty (can't choose USB, only COM). Is it avaliable another way to do ROM upgrade?

Hello!
I have installed windows Vista RC2 (x86 and built 5744) and I have a HTC Universal PPC Phone Edition.
I'm having problems installing Windows Mobile Device Center.
I've downloaded the drvupdate-x86.exe and installed it (with firewall off) and WMDC doesnt install. Only appears on installed programs Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update.
Then, Installed wmupdate.msi and WMDC is installed.
The problem is that when I try to open the program (either from control panel icon and wmdc.exe on c:\windows\WindowsMobile\wmdc.exe) appears an error message (with debug) saying the program must close!
I don't know what else to do! I've the same problem since RC1 (5600).
PLEASE HELP!

are you using the beta Vista? you need to download the software call windows mobile device center.

Hi, I'm useing Vista Ultimate, no beta, and I still have MDC, but when I connect PPC Vista try to search and download some drivers without success and it doesn't allow me to sync. Previously I was using MDC with HTC P3600 with no problem...

have you try connect your p3600 and see whether it sync?

I can't test P3600 because I gave it away. Here it is what I get when I try to sync:

I don't read your language, but based on what you've said, try checking windows update, while your athena is connected. Perhaps, there are files for you to download after you connect. I have Vista Ultimate as well, and the drivers did install when I first synced, so you should be able to have them too.

Really I dont' know what could it be. However the message window say that:
it's necessary to install GENERIC RNDIS DRIVER
What the hell!!!!
Now I'm trying under XP and I have no problem...what could it be? Any suggestion?

I'm using Vista Business with Dopod U1000 and it runs flawlessly.
But I was getting Hell with Dopod 900 WM6 and Vista synchronization. So much problems, bugs, and inconsistencies.

Ohhh, thats what it says. Microsoft supply's in most cases generic remote NDIS drivers for at least USB, so vendors won't have to create their own specific drivers (or so I've read, anyway ). Do you run Vista 64? I've heard of 'RNDIS driver missing' issues with Vista 64. You may also want to check your startup disk you received with your Athena. I realize you use WMDC, but there may the RNDIS drivers bundled with Activesync, that you may be able to pull out. Just a thought, and other than that, I'm not sure what else to say, except look on the net. Good luck, I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for you.

Just to let you know i also run Vista Ultimate 64, and uses WMDC, the first time i connect my DOPOD U1000, it install the driver straight away without any problem, then i can start sync with no problem.

I'm running Vista 32. About startup disk it could only install Activesync and really I can't fiugure out how to extract drivers needed. About net solution, Vista couldn't find drivers on line...

off topic question to mystic blue..
can you post your avatar as a large image?
thanks..it looks interesting your UI..

Here are a few screenshots. Using Wisbar Advance 2, Wisbar Advanced Desktop, Weather Panel, and Pocketbreeze.

UHm very very OT...please some advice about my problem related to this post will be welcome...

It seems that it cant recognize device...

I Found solution!!!
It's a WMDC bug that start to find RNDIS drivers in wrong folder. So all I had to do was to force it finding drivers in correct folder: C:/windows
Now I can sync!!!
Here it is reference...in italian

Got mine working with 64bit windows vista. just deleted that file.

YOU ROCK!!!
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! You don't have an Idea of how many hours I spend searching a solution for get my htc wizard recognized, your last comment on force the driver search on c:\windows solve my problem too...
But not also with my phone even with a lot of hardware that I can't make get recognized...
Vista seems to be a real pain in.... anyways I don't know how many research I have left but, I have two vista x32 home premiun edition computers one made by gateway and the other by samsung.
And I notice that the samsung one doesn't have any problem recognizing hardware, so I entered to the device manager to see the drivers and I notices must of them run under the 6.0.6000.16389 vista_rtm .....) version and I found that this Driver Kit it's availiable on windows connect for beta testers, so I decide to download them, lets see if this driver kit solve many issues with my gateway.

New Version WMDC 6.1 is available!
New version is available in Microsoft website,you can download freely and install!
It should solve most of the problems!
I'm using Dopod U1000 with Vista Ultimate and WMDC 6.1 without any problem!
My only concern is I'm unable to 'reflow' pdf documents using Vista!(It was very easy with Active Sync4.5 & XP)
Any idea to overcome this problem?
plz share!

dopod 595
i have dopod 595, and now i using vista ultimate 32, i cannot sync my outlook. please advice
thanks

New driver on Windows update

Hi
When i ran windows update on my new shift i could see there was a few new drivers from HTC, i havent updated them yet. has anyone tryid to put them on? any problems?
also i would like to hear more about sp1, in another thread one has a problem with shagctrl after sp1 install, is this a common problem after sp1?
Regards,
Allan Boegild Pedersen

I installed all the pre SP1 drivers I saw on windows update. I found a problem with the video driver myself. I posted about it and several others had problems as well.
here is the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378305

Hi,
I installed SP1 and istalled all available updates.
After a few (yes, more then one or two...) reboots, everything works fine. Also the screen resolution change etc. I did have to reinstall shagctrl, but that was easy.
One of the updates is for the screen pen and gives you some more feedback when tapping the screen. It´s good.
I only had a problem with my USB tool connection, but I am not sure if it is because of SP1 or something else....
Gonna do a full reset and see...

Vista hangs on startup after Windows update

Today I installed a Windows update that I was prompted to do. I should say that SP1 has been installed and happily running for a couple of weeks now, and that I am running a Spanish version of Vista.
It installed 9 updates and then configured 3 more components after the restart. After a further restart all seems to be going well until just before the logon screen (black screen) where the mouse freezes and nothing happens (I gave it a good 20 minutes) thus forcing a hard reset. I unplugged the USB hub and took out an SDHC card but all to no effect.
My Shift was pretty well updated including the new graphics driver with the registry hack to get it working, so I believe the updates from M$ are pretty recent. I note that my XP desktop PC had an update of various components too.
I booted up in safe mode and selected the "recommended" restore point which was for a Windows update. After the restore and restart, bang, the same problem!
With that failed I chose a restore point prior to both sets of Windows updates. On restart voilà! All is now working. Phew!!
Anyone else get this issue or is it just me? Anyone got an idea which update might be the cause of the issue?

Hmmm, I changed my Windows update settings to allow me to choose the updates I wish to install. The update listed that seems to be the most likely is a new Intel Video driver update.
Would this be a "real" new video driver? Or could it be that due to the registry hack of exporting and then importing two HKEYs after a previous video driver update it has confused Windows causing it to hang?
I would guess the point where it hangs is when Vista is about to be displayed which seems to confirm the video driver theory.

I too had problems with the new updates (on a german version shift): strange behavior during the install process as a screen flickering between black and different resolutions and after all an abrupt shutdown. after restart Windows run fine but shagcontrol didn't work. Following Daniels instructions I removed shagcontrol and installed it again - problem solved (Thanks Daniel!). I guess this issue has not been caused by the security updates but rather by the optional windows mobile update.
At last I had to update my internet security program (Trend Micro) due to "incompatibility problems with this Windows version".
Thus a lot of time waisted but fortunately my favorite toy works again.
R.

On many a blogs recomendation I removed the Trend Micro AV software and downloaded the free AVG software instead. You can pick up a copy at the below link:
http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?tag=lst-3
It works just fine, is simple to use and has given no problems.

Be careful .. AVG is one of the worst free antivirus ... (after Live One Care Beta ), I advise you to download antivir on www.free-av.com it's one of the best (if not "THE BEST") free antivirus.

Hi.
I ve the spanish version too. Today Windows Update downloaded 10 updates too but all worked fine. video driver installed too with registry hack(but as you know driver version is overwitten and windows update will try to install it again, and again and...)
Dani

looks like the best thing to do is as said to set it for u to choose what to install or to turn off windows update all together. should be having less issues then.

Mine updated nicely.
9 Of course, because the video was already done, and he did not even offer that one.

HTC Sync install problem & no PC Sync

Second day with my Hero and really like it so far, but;
When I tried to install HTC Sync, near the end of the install, I get,
"Generic Device Management Executable has encountered a problem and needs to close",
and wants to send a report to Microsoft, after dismissing the first one another one the same comes up, then after the install I get;
"Unable to create a device manager instance".
When I try to Sync with the PC, HTC Sync won't find the phone.
I've tried the HTC Sync that came with the phone and the latest from the HTC website with the same results.
I'm running Windows XP Home, fully up to date, anti-virus is disabled during the installation.
I have spent the best part of eight hours today searching this site and googling the problem, I've found people with the same or similar problems and still can't get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem, tried uninstalling/reinstalling both versions, but the problem still exists.
I am also running Win XP SP3.

Me too. XP SP3.
Speaking directly to HTC gave no answers, and I gave up as I don't need to sync to outlook.

Im having problems getting HTC 2.04 to work after update.
C:\Program Files\HTC HTC Sync\Application launcher\Application Launcher.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
And no it didn´t, tried it. Has tried remove and afterwards reinstall, but still not. Connection to USB is working, but can´t sync.

Just for info, I emailed HTC yesterday and got a reply back today. I tried it, but it didn't solve the problem, good customer service from HTC though.
I've pasted it (as sent) if anyone wants to try it, god luck.
"please try the following on you PC. STart, sun, msconfig, services, "hide all Microsfot Services" then "disable all", start up, "disable all", apply, close and reboot. Try the install again in this mode with no internet connection plugged in (as your AV will be fully shut down). If this works, you can reenable evertyhing, start, run, msconfig, normal startup, apply close, and reboot."

Lol, looks like a bold move
But good idea with the services, maybe we can narrow it down.
Do you have Itunes installed? Just a wild guess now as I have it installed, maybe the Apple Sync conflicts with HTC Sync.

Im not sure if that im able to do the services thing, but i will try.
No itunes is not on, but at home im using Vista 64 with itunes and its working!

Hmm, didn´t work for me.
Hope that HTC will come with an update.
For now im using CompanionLink to sync between Lotus Notes and Google Calendar, but it will only work for 2 weeks, then i have to pay.

Didn't work for me either. I tried disabling all not needed services.
@SharDK Do you have the problem in Win XP SP3 too?

@Lupus77
Yes its Win XP Sp3
Sry i wrote fail in my nick, its Shark, but nevermind

New reply from HTC.
"Are you able to try again in Safe Mode? "
Tried but still no good.

Is anyone here who got the HTC Sync working with Win XP SP3?

Phone not being recognized by the HTC Sync program
I had no problem installing the HTC Sync software BUT it does not recognize my phone. Yes I am running Windows XP Service Pack 3. I have read the manaul carefully and done everything they say, including enabling USB debugging. But to no avail. I also have tried both the new and old versions of the software.
PLEASE HELP!! I need to update my ROM

Weird, since before upgrae i had no problem connecting to sync either in Vista nor Xp SP3.
But after, then XP SP3 gives problems.
@Salmanbodla
When you connect to XP with USB, do you mount the SD card!
If you can here´s driver for XP http://www.pdauser.dk/files/driver.zip
When you connect, go to Device manager and look for ADB and try update the driver. Even try connect the Hero 2-3 times mounting the USB, that way i got the ADB in device manager. But then Sync failes, but had no problem before update.
I wrote HTC yesterday, so hoping that they will come with a solution.
Now they returned an email, writting to me that since i have a Danish Win XP, i have to install sync in Program Files/HTC/HTC sync
Im sry but im not using a Danish XP, so therefor its in the right place already.
Looks like HTC ´dosn´t have a solution for sync, very bad, since i have to use it to sync Lotus Notes at work.

Latest from HTC. Want NFO logs.
Latest Email from HTC:-
"HI STephen,
We are trying to replicate this issue here, are you able to send us the NFO logs?
Many hanks
MIke"
It's nice to see they have an interest in the problem.
Now the question. How do I send them the NFO logs? I'm a bit lost here.

Just wanted to add my "me too". I'm experiencing the same problem.
It used to work but since I reinstalled XP (serious crash) I get this error when trying to start HTC Sync:
C:\Program Files\HTC HTC Sync\Application launcher\Application Launcher.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

The only difference between my old and new install of XP is that my old install was SP2 and the new install SP3.

Me too
I cant get HTC sync to work on Windows VIsta. Had Hero for 2 weeks. But cannot connect with HTC sync. I only need this for ROM upgrade... not for syncing.

Stephen did you get an answer from the htc support.
I have the same problem.

Has anyone had luck fixing the issue with HTC Sync refusing to run because 'the application isn't configured properly'?
It worked fine for me about 2 weeks ago with Win XP Service Pack 3, but doesn't anymore. I'm not entirely sure what I've changed since. I went on Windows Update and downloaded these patches (Update for Root Certificates [September 2009] (KB931125), Security Update for Windows Media Format Runtime 9, 9.5 & 11 for Windows XP SP 3 (KB968816), Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB954430), Security Update for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (KB952069), Security Update for Windows XP with Windows Media Format Runtime 9.5 and 11 (KB941569)); I changed which SATA port on my mobo the hard drive connected to; and that's about all I know of. Everything else would have been using programs already installed, which I had used before trying to use HTC sync.
I'm not sure which version of HTC Sync I used before, as it may have been the one on the SD card when the phone shipped, or it could have been downloaded from the website. It was probably the one on the SD card. Yesterday I tried uninstalling it after the error message and reinstalling v2.0.4 downloaded from the HTC website, but still no luck.
So, has anyone had any success with this?

Any chance you can uninstall those updates to see if they are the offending items?
