activesync works, but won't install .exe files - General Topics

Hello,
I'm still having weird issues with ActiveSync (HTC TyTN). Currently, it synchronizes everything I want, both over USB and over bluetooth. USB only works if I uncheck the advanced network settings in the "USB to PC" setting.
But when I want to install a program that has its own .exe installer, it doesn't work. I have connected the device with the PC (so the ActiveSync icon in systemtray is green).
When I double click the .exe, it starts, but it never sends the program to the wm5 device. The program stays running Windows, but that is it.
I really don't know how to start troubleshooting this. I have reinstalled ActiveSync, and did a hard reset on the HTC, but to no avail.

Apparently, ActiveSync doesn't like being installed as an SVS layer...
(works now)

activesync and wm6

I have just flashed my wizard with a TNT wm6 and now I can't get activesync to regonize my device. I am using activesync 4.5. I uninstalled activesync and relaoded it. I have rebooted both my wizard and my laptop. I have checked the coms and let activesync look for my wizard and it tells me that my device has npot been detected. My wizard is showing the plugged in icon and is taking a charge from my laptop but its not allowing me to share info. is there anything I am missing....?
thanks!
I got the same problem! Cant sync with 2nd PC after upgrade to TNT5.0. I reinstalled Active Sync but it wont work. Now I only can sync with the PC which used to flash ROM. Is there any bar in OS that just allow sync to 1 computer?
Nopes !!!
There's no bar of any sort in any OS as not establish connectivity through Activesync.Which Windows are you using,Active Sync will only work on WinXP and not on WinVista.
1.Disable any Firewall or Anti virus program,check connectivity now.
2.disconnect phone from usb cable,delete partneship from pc and phone.
3.Uninstall Activesync,reboot pc.
4.Get phone into bootloaders mode (multicolor screen),Hook up the phone with pc via usb cable,check if usb appears at the bottom of the bootloaders in the phone,if it's there than,it's establishing connection with phone,if not then,there's a problem either in anyone one of these :-
a) USB cable , b) mini usb port of the phone c) Usb port of the PC.
Dig out the problem and rectify accordingly
Cheers !
Yep... All checked!
Before upgrade, normally I've using all 2 PC (and some others PC) to sync with. I upgraded on PC1, is OK. Plug in PC2, it still recornized, connecting but couldnt connected. Batt charging normal. I've deleted all partnership., reinstall ActiveSync, disable Kapersky AV... but still get error. Oh my God, do I have to reinstall Windows??? It's too tired and take long time....

DiCham, have you had any development on this or has anyone else had this problem? I downloaded the same verison from Nov07 and have not been able to connect since.
when it set to advanced networking it should give up a network device
in the network connections folder
rightclick this network device and choose properties and in there
uncheck the kaspersky protocol (not uninstall)
you can also try to uncheck the advanced network setting on the wizard

Sadly, I have no development upto now because I have no time to reinstall Windows in 2nd PC! I hope it will help... thinking about USB driver/controller reinstall first, it will take less time than whole WindowsXP...
japsfinest: do follow da_jojo, it worked!
da_jojo: thanks very much! It work but unfortunately, i'm right on reinstalling Windows! hehehe....

Kaiser -> Bluetooth -> ActiveSync

I had working ActiveSync without problems (configuarated the Com a.s.o.)
but after the last hard reset i cant connect my phone over active sync... my Kaiser shows "no activesync supported pc...)
what can i do?

Report this post
did you redo the pairing?
WORKS again...
reinstalled activesync 3 times but thank you!
Hi,
I know this is an old thread but i wanted people thoughts on Activesync over Bluetooth?
What issues are there and how reliable is it?
Im using WM6.1 and plan to sync with Outlook2003 on XPpro sp3.
Thanks
I find activesync via bluetooth very reliable, although not fast enough for transfering large files.
Best way to get it working properly is:
Delete any existing pairings on both the pc and ppc.
Check that the bluetooth program on your pc has a com port set up and that your pc is discoverable.
Go to activesync connection settings on pc, and check that it is set to use the same com port as the previous step.
On ppc, go to activesync and attempt to 'connect via bluetooth'.
When it doesnt find a connection, select to create one, add device, and create a partnership with your pc. It SHOULD find activesync as a service.
Now you can close the bluetooth menu, and 'connect via bluetooth' again.
(this would probably have helped the OP 20 months ago)

Activesync Problem (wont synch !)

Hello,
I downloaded Activesync 4.5. Installed it and it synchronised fine for a day or so, but now although it connects it will not synch. I can still explore the Himalaya from within Activesync and install programs through it, but cannot synch.
When i put the PPC in the cradle the usual "bee bee beep" happens (as if connecting). Activesync then brings up the error - http://i25.tinypic.com/33jpkqo.jpg How can i solve this ??
I have tried Activesync 3 and 4.2 with no joy
How do i get the screen which says "Set up partnership" again ??
There must be some corrupted file on the PPC as the Activesync on my PC works fine for my PDA phone.
Best Regards,
Andrew

Trick the PDA. Activesync downgrade

Hi, I miss old AS 3.8. I could sync wirelessly and I could synchronize my favorites for offline viewing on my PDA
I don´t know what MS staff is really doing, but I would rather them doing nothing than messing with things that work. At least, they should have given us the option to turn those things on, again!
I use Wizard, WM6
I downloaded a program by the name "USB killer". (It turns off RNDIS). Then, I disabled "advanced network functionality" in the PPC (settings -> USBtoPC).
I just need Activesync on the PPC side to think that Activesync on the PC side is 4.5. Right now, on syncing, it displays the error message: "to synchronize this device, you must install activesync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer"
Any ideas? Thanks
(I know that older WM versions required other Activesync versions: 4, 4.1, etc. So, there must be a check value somewhere, either PPC or PC)
Method
OK, maybe no one will be willing to solve this
Is there any way of monitoring the sends and requests that take place when you connect a WM device via USB?
If you do, please tell me. I will post the solution once I find it!

Repllog and activeync are embbeded into rom you can´t change or uninstall these at least you cook an AS-less rom or customied rom wth older AS (possible?), communications are setup by emulating a network card(you already disabled it) or via htc usb sync device (usb emulated similar to serial oldtransfers) only older devices can work with lower AS versions, you can always try another software in order to sync the stuff you need to
if you make AS PPC files from older versions work on WM6 let me know

More ActiveSync Problems... I'm desperate, PLEASE help.

Hi:
I have a Fuze I have been using for several months. At some point it stopped connecting via USB to Active Sync. I was still able to sync via bluetooth.
Since the official ATT ROM is about to be released I decided to troubleshoot the USB/ActiveSync problem.
Well, I checked all connections, deleted and reinstalled partnership, tried different cables, different USB ports, uninstalled and reinstalled ActiveSync, unchecked the advanced network functionality box, turned Firewall on and off. Other usb devices are working fine, and I am able to connect the phone as storage/file transfer, just not ActiveSync.
I have searched and searched, and tried everything I can find, but now after so much messing with it, I am unable to connect to ActiveSync at all. When I try to pair it via bluetooth to my phone ActiveSync doesn't even show up as a service anymore.
When I connect via usb, I get the same error unable to establish a connection, and it suggests I check my Firewall.
I have added ActiveSync to my Firewall etc..., as well as completely disabling my Firewall. Still nothing. I have tried all the steps suggested by ZoneAlarm.
I am using Windows XP, ZoneAlarm Security Suite 8.0.298.035.
ANY ideas would really, really be appreciated.
Thanks!
Activesync is one of M$'s WORST inventions! Before WM6, The only way to connect your computer was via activesync (there was no "drive" option that i knew of)
I HATE activsync, never have gotten it to work. Thank GOD Google sync is around, sync up my contacts and calendar over the air.
Honestly, I'd say avoid activsync at all costs. But one other option MAY be to create a new user account on your computer and try activsync with that user.
I could also say ditch windows for ubuntu, but i have yet to find any easy way to sync my Fuze with ubuntu
Hi Cass:
Thanks for the reply. Well creating a new user did enable me to once again sync via bluetooth, but still no luck with the usb connection
Is it possible to install a ROM update via bluetooth?
Thanks!
i am not expert and I have not had that problem wth my fuze, but have you tried doing a hard reset?

uninstall activesync, reboot,make sure activesync files were deleted, reinstall activesync, turn the firewall off (for testing purposes), (turn off MS firewall service in services) and try to reconnect then.
Need a little more information in order to help you. Information that would help is:
- Version of Operating System Service Pack
- Version of Active Sync
- Anti-Virus software
In the interim; can I assume that these KB articles did not help?

I've run into similar issues with other USB devices; and the solution is usually one of two:
1) Too many USB device entries
When a device is not connected to the PC, it doesn't display in the Device Manager. To display those hidden devices, follow the steps in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241257/en-us
Once the hidden devices are displayed (usually semi-transparent looking) you can right-click on each one and remove it. If you see any hidden devices with an Exclamation, you need to remove those as well.
For the moment, keep to USB related devices - in other words, don't go removal happy ... some hidden devices are meant to be there.
2) Driver Signing
It's also possible that you have a driver signing issue. You can temporarily disable driver signing by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties ... the option is found on the Hardware tab.
Don't leave it permanently disabled; set it Warn, at the very least, to avoid malicious installation of Trojan or other similar programs.
HTH,
You don't need activesync to install a ROM from the computer. Hold the power, volume down button, and press the reset button with your stylus. This will take you into bootloader mode. Keep holding the buttons after pressing the reset button until the tricolor screen comes up. Then plug the phone into the computer. It should say "USB" at the bottom, which shows that it is connected to the computer. Then flash away.
You can try it out and let us know if it works. Just soft reset after you confirm it works.
You could also flash via SD card, but that's more work and requires unlocking phone.
Thank you all so much!
I have not been able to try any of your suggestions, because I had an unexpected work issue arise, but I will definitely try then within the next couple days, and report back here.
Thanks again!
I have problems syncing with WMDC and my Fuze. When it becomes persistent, I end the partnership, uninstall WMDC, and then reinstall it. It then works for a while.

Junk:
You are my hero!! Your advice worked perfectly. I was able to update to the new ROM without using ActiveSync.
Thanks so much!!
And thanks to those of you who replied. I didn't try the other suggestions, since Junk's worked perfectly for me.
