I think that you can help me. I installed the wmdc and connected my htc kaiser, but when the connection is established, my notebook doesen't show the green dialogue you can see here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
I got a simple windows dialogue "automatic ...." with the general options to open a explorer window, play a dvd, ..... and so on.
what went wrong, that I dindn't get the beautiful green window.
when I tried to install a program via this connection, an error message told me, that windows mobile device center ist not installed correctly. and really, shortly before installation is through, it "runs back" .... but a wmdc control box shows an active connection ... I use the original microsoft installation file .... do anyone have the same problems or could help me solve it.
please dont be angry about reading this here. I simple doesn't know a better place, if you do ... please let me know ...
have you tried opening windows mobile device center from the shortcut in all programs to see if it runs, the icon by the clock is just the sync manager.
Make sure you have installed all available updates from microsoft and if you still cant open it from all programs then try downloading it from the microsoft site again. As you might of got a corrupt file during download.
I have downloaded the file during testing for many times. the name of the file: drvupdate-x86.exe
vista is updated with all the available updates.
which shortcut do you mean .... can you post an example for opening?
now I know: the installation process failes, but without prompting an specific error message. shortly before installation is complete (last milimeter of progress bar), the installation progress goes backward an deletes all, what was installed before.
the latest file I got from the microsoft page with the header windows mobile device center 6.1 is the driveupdate-x86.exe with version 6.0.5824.16387.
is this the latest one? if not: where do I get the latest one?
do anyone have/had the same probleme and/or knows, how to solve it?
Hi, i just upgraded my os to Windows Vista and came across a slight problem when trying to add programs to my Kaiser. The problem is that i was trying to install two different programs to my phone but they are not in cab form. They are windows installers, so when i try to run them they insist that you have activesync. But as you all know Windows Vista does not use activesync it uses windows mobile device center, and any time i run them it just says something like "activesync is not installed" or "not running". I have done several searches and tried two programs that i thought might help. These were "universal extractor" and "exe2cab", but none worked. If anyone knows how to get these .exe installers to work with Vista or how to get them in cab form please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
you should have windows sync center, and device center too.
assuming your with vista business/ultimate
heres a nice tutorial http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/11/22/how-to-sync-your-windows-mobile-device-to-a-windows-vista-pc/
I have tried everything but nothing seems to work! Every time I open up Windows Mobile Device Center and go to the settings for video it continiously says "unhandled exception" and "cannot find file specified" "Exception from: HR ESULT: 0x80070002" ....I tried uninstalling it reinstalling it whatever I can do but no luck!!!!
Also, I do not know if this is something causing it but very rarely will my XV 6900 sync with my Windows Media player and this might be the cause but it is weird it did sync once!
I know this is not a computer forum so I will limit my question to these. Thanks .
. I also have all my clients in Excel format and I wanted to click a link to make it dial directly to the phone and I know how to do it on a PC but not on the WM 6
So ... what are your "*Important Questions*"?
Sounds like his problems are:
1) Windows Mobile Device Center giving an error message.
2) Windows Mobile Device Center only syncing Windows Media player once and never again.
3) In Pocket Excel, how to make phone numbers direct dial when you click on them.
For problem #1 and #2, I would uninstall Windows Mobile Device and then run registry cleaner tools like CCleaner and Advanced WindowsCare. This will clean up every single trace of it. Then download the newest version out there and try it again.
For problem #3, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else has some suggestions.
has anyone managed to get epocrates installed and working on a WM 6.5 rom?
or is there someway to resize Thomson's Clinical Xpert for VGA screens?
I've recently flashed the stock ATT fuze rom to one of Da_G's WM 6.5 roms. It's fast, stable, and has great battery life (currently sitting on my desk after 26 hrs+ w/ maybe 10% remaining, which is a tremendous improvement from the <12 hrs i was getting). Everything is fine and dandy, but the most important software for me does not work.
Epocrates installs but does not perform the initial autoupdate. it simply stalls at the update screen. I've tried both the wireless installation and desktop installation and both do not work. Speaking to their tech support, I've found that WM 6.5 is currently unsupported. Anyone get this working on a WM 6.5 rom?
In the meantime, i've installed Thomson's Clinical Xpert, but it's interface was probably designed for QVGA screens so the drop-down menus are not navigable on my VGA device. how can i go about resizing the application for a VGA screen (either through modification of the CAB file or if there is any application that can alter the resolution/stretch it)?
thanks.
workaround in this post below
Having the exact same issue- any help will definitely be appreciated. I love the new 6.5 interface and would prefer not to go back to 6.1 unless absolutely necessary
Same here. I just spent an hour trying to load Epocrates until I found this thread. I like the WinMo 6.5 much better than 6.1, but unless someone can find a workaround I guess I will have to revert.

Same here. However, I did revert back to 6.1, still no luck on installing Epocrates. Even disabled the Microsoft encryption setting. Still no go.
what wm6.5 build is everyone using? i've so far only tried it on Da_G's 21198.
i'm really surprised that epocrates won't install on wm6.5 as i don't think very much has changed in the architecture from 6.1. the issue w/ epocrates is that it installs, but hangs during the initial autoupdate. the actual application is installed and can be opened briefly (i can see the the on top etc.), but the data itself is not there b/c it cannot be synced. when trying to install via the windows desktop installer, the autoupdate progress bar pops up and the download starts, but quits with an error about the autoupdater conduit.
if the conduit can be fixed/tweaked perhaps epocrates will work? has anyone tried moving files from a working 6.1 installation to an aborted install on wm6.5? i'd try to do it, but right now i don't have the time to rebuild my wm6.5 setup, which is also why i haven't flashed to one of the newer 6.5 builds.
for the time being i'm using Thomson Clinical Xpert, but its UI makes the application barely usable on my Fuze.

That describes exactly my experience. I am using the FuFuROM based on 21202 on my HTC Diamond.

It's same with me. I reverted to 6.1 bcos of epocrates and UpToDate. epocrates wont install as e'one here said. UpToDate installs and runs but cant display the final pages. It seems to use the IE and the pages are stored inside .jar files. somehow it cant go inside the .jar files to display the html files. It says the pages are not available.
I hope these issues will be solved soon.
BTW, I'm using TESS Premium 4.3 by Aman in my Elf.
Same
Wow same here, that's incredibly irritating
i finally had some free time to tinker this weekend and i've got epocrates running on wm 6.5!
following my previous hypothesis, i flashed to an old 6.1 rom and installed epocrates and performed an update. then i copied the "essentials" folder from "Program Files" to my sd card. i then flashed to wm 6.5 (da_g's 21501 beta 4 kitchen) and installed epocrates. as usual, it could not perform the initial autoupdate. instead, i closed the update application, deleted the existing Essentials folder, and copied the Essentials folder from my sd card that was from the intial 6.1 installation to Program Files. epocrates now works! i didn't bother with any of the add-on components/programs as i mainly need access to Rx, Sx, Dx, and labs tabs. of course, you likely will not be able to update epocrates from wm 6.5 as the crux of the problem is the autoupdater module.
Post perhaps?
Hey just wanted to add my 2 cents saying I'm having the same problem. I'm using HTC fuze with Mystic ROM by vRC1.0 based on Da_G's 21500. It's also a windows mobile 6.5 ROM.
Anyhow I was wondering if someone could post a zipped version of the essentials folder that works, so I don't have to reflash my ROM twice.
anyone has idea about UpToDate thing in WM6.5. Eventhough there is a workaround for Epocrates, I'm still stuck with 6.1 cos of UpToDate. Any input/suggestions wud be highly appreciated.
EDIT: I found about UpToDate in this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=499741 but u hav to cook into ur own rom... too bad ..

i have an archive of the folder and i'd upload it, but i think it contains personal information. just flash 6.1 the next time you get around to flashing an upgraded 6.5 rom.

+1 for me too... I too would prefer not having to reflash again.
My Essentials folder won't be the same as yours. It will have my preferred insurance plans, for one thing.
Clearly, this hack allows ePocrates to run. However, it doesn't address the lack of updating, which is really one of the important features of ePocrates.
Since ePocrates is the primary reason I carry a smartphone device instead of a plain phone, I'll be sticking with a 6.1 ROM for now.
epocrates and active sync
I was wondering if anyone using the work around has been able to use active sync to sync with their computer. Does it break if epocrates tries to auto-update that way through the active sync? Is there a way to turn off the epocrates auto-updater so you can active sync?
I was able to use the work around without flashing my ROM. If you still have an old phone, you can have epocrates with Windows Mobile 6.1 on THAT phone, move the essentials to the storage card. Then install epocrates on your 6.5 device with the storage card in, and it works perfectly fine for me.
But now I'm afraid to sync my phone with my computer. I NEED epocrates to function at work. I want to be able to sync as that's one of the main benefits of a windows mobile phone, but keeping epocrates has to be priority one for me.
BTW, I checked with epocrates support, and they said they intend to support 6.5; they just don't know when.
Working now!
its now working officially with wm 6.5
greets,
A couple of days ago I installed the epocrates Rx on my brand new HTC HD2 (windows mobile 6.5) thru the standard installation procedure, and thought everything was running ok, until today that I just realized it doesn't support scrolling (I have to open the keyboard and use the arrow keys -extremely cumbersome!).
Then I searched on the Epocrates site for support and found this:
Question
Does Epocrates support Windows Mobile 6.5?
Answer
Epocrates does indeed support Windows Mobile 6.5.
While installation through a computer should be in essence the same as installing to a Windows Mobile 6.1 and older device, installing directly to a wireless Windows Mobile 6.5 device is a bit different.
Open Internet Explorer on your Windows Mobile 6.5 handheld and navigate to the following web address.
http://get.epocrates.com/?action=all
Please note that "www." is not part of the above web address.
Select the "Install Now" button for "Windows Mobile 5 and later."
Please take note of where Internet Explorer prompts use to save the Epocrates installer file (Main Memory or Expansion card). It is called:
OTAUpgraderSigned.exe
Open File Explorer on your handheld and navigate to My Device, My Documents. You should see the "OTAUpgraderSigned.exe" file there. Tap on it to begin the install process.
Should you encounter difficulties, please contact Epocrates support.
Don't know if anyone already tried the above, if so, please give some feedback. Does it work?
Anyway, I'll probably give it a try later in the day. Let's see what happens.
I have tried as Lovanova tells in his messagge but it still does not work scrolling in my HTC HD2.
Sorry to tell that this way described by epocrates support doesnt work in HD2.
hmm, you re right.
Scrolling does not work on HD2.
Damn!
They could at least update their product flag ship as so little that it doesnt look like MS-Dos-crap ... they ve got good looking apps on the iphone with nice fingerscrolling ...
its so ridicilous

This error is plaguing my PDA. I have an HP iPAQ 111 Clasic with .net compact framework 3.5, 2.0, and (on my installed programs roster) one called simply '.NET CF'. also installed is VB Runtime For PPC.
I have been using Comic Reader mobile for some time. One day, one of my runtime components decided to 'uninstall' itself. Many programs wouldnt run. i reinstalled the afore mentioned program environments. All the programs dependant on .NET worked fine again exept for Comic Reader Mobile. I wrote it off as a minor irritation. Since then i installed Scilors Drivers licence Trainer. After instalation, SciLors displayed the same error. THis is a great irritation to me. I want my PDA running properly without Hard Reseting it. Does anyone have any sugestions/Fixes?
Thanks in advance

it's complaining about not finding
sql server compact
if you didn't install that it can't use sdf databases
which it seems the program use
Now for the newb questons. Where do i get SQL server compact? How do i install it? Is it a normal .cab/.exe install or do i have to extract data and place it myself? Im glad that this makes sence to someone, but what EXACTLY is the resolution?
pretty sure when you download it at ms it's msi but it could be exe if i'm wrong
in both cases it's installed by running the msi or exe on the pc while the pda is connected
then it installs
For the life of me, i cant find the installer on MS website. Can you direct/Link me?
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...oogle-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=6&oq=sql+server+com
Thanks for your help. Its working fine now. I also found out that Scilors is in German.... oh well.
