Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 - coming soon

In the next few weeks, the Windows Mobile Device Center team will be launching an update to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0.  Aside from bug fixes and improvements over WMDC 6.0, the update (version 6.1) will include feature support for Windows Mobile 6 devices; this includes support for file synchronization on both touchscreen and non-touchscreen Windows Mobile 6 devices.  We'll make a formal announcement here on the blog once the update is officially released.

    Hi betaman,

    Windows Mobile Device Center does support syncing with Windows Mobile 5 devices.  Is it not working for you?

    I just installed WMDC 6.0 (on vista home) to sync my treo 700w to outlook 2002 (that came with my treo) I'm able to sync but every time I open outlook since then I'm getting that annoying message "A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?" then I can click yes - allow for ten minutes - or no but I have to click it hundred of times until it goes away and sometimes I am lucky that can I click yes just a few times.

    I tried almost everything but nothing helped, I even tried to create a new profile then I didn’t got the message but then I was unable to sync. I googled around for 2 days with no luck I hope you can help me...

    Greetings.  Here is my dilemma and I havent been able to fix it since I first got Vista 32 bit.

    I have an Axim 30 and I am dependent on this PDA.  When I had Windows XP I was able to use it and synchronize to it perfectly.

    However, with this new software all I get to do is download the driver update.  Where's the original main .exe?  Whenever I log onto my Windows Mobile Device Center all I get is a green screen and no way to log in.  Now, my PDA is connected properly with my USB but I cannot get any other connection ... nothing... no .exe or anything.  I have the icon and the options to conenct but that's it.  Ive tried to get this thing to work since Jan 07 and Im about to go back to XP on this one issue alone.

    Any suggestions??  Microsoft only seems to be given me a driver update...and not the .exe file.

    Hi Enigma,

    When you install the driverupdate.exe, you are installing two things: Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC).  Can you open Control Panel and see what programs you have installed.  Can you confirm that ONLY Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update is installed?  If so, then for some reason your install isn't complete.  Please uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update and reinstall the package.  Monitor the entire install and allow when prompted to allow the install of both programs.

    If you need more help, email me at dcinput@microsoft.com.  Let us know if your problem gets solved.

    Thanks,

    Jane

    It stated that WM 6 feature will be part of the upgrade. Can you list out those feature? Will Get certificate feature be available on this update and will the IRM activation be there as well? Appreciate if you are able to provide more information for this update. :)

    CDRIDER - you may need to read the CDs a bit more carefully. The version of Outlook that comes with the vast majority of devices is actually a TRIAL version which is time crippled.

    Thank you Nick. Installed WMDC 6.1 and play around. Just figuring how does the IRM activation works as there is no option to activate the IRM feature.

    Hi ITLALA,

    After you create a partnership with a Windows Mobile 6 device syncing e-mail, navigate to the Mobile Device Settings bucket where you will see an option to Activate IRM.

    Thanks,

    Jane

    Hi, I am using Vista Home Premium and have WMDC 6.1 and am having problems syncing my iMate JASJAR. It worked ok to start with but then for no reason stopped working and from then on stops syncing and says there has been a Sync Error. Active Sync has encountered a problem on the desktop. I have no idea what is causing this.

    Can someone help me please.

    Many thanks

    Steve
